Run GitHub Actions on spot VMs in your own AWS, GCP and Azure accounts
A single Backmesh install receives your GitHub queued jobs and dispatches each to its own spot VM in AWS, Google Cloud or Azure.
Cloud connections use roles created from your own CLI session, and Backmesh never receives your code, secrets, caches or logs.
A status command reports runner VMs, queue times, 24-hour and 7-day job stats and month-to-date cost in one place.
Every job log ends with peak memory, OOM kills, CPU and disk usage so you can right-size jobs.

Spin up single GPUs, full nodes or reserved clusters by the second, selectable from T4 and L4 up to A100, H100, H200, B200 and TPUs, with no long-term contract required.
Ready-to-code environments with CUDA, PyTorch and common libraries preinstalled, usable from the browser, a local IDE or a terminal, with automatic sleep to stop idle spend.
Launch distributed training jobs and large-scale data preparation across multi-node GPU and high-CPU machines, with interruptible instances at up to about 80% off.
Turn a checkpoint into an endpoint or app without rewriting infrastructure code, and host public app links or private model APIs with configurable rate limits.
