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.

Automate work across thousands of apps — no code required
Connect thousands of apps with a visual editor, using both point-and-click logic and natural language to define each step.
Connect AI tools such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor to your apps so they can read data and take real action.
Create AI assistants that answer questions and complete multi-step tasks across your connected systems.
Store structured data your workflows can read and update, keeping records in sync across tools.
