Beam

Beam (beam.cloud) is a serverless GPU and Python cloud-runtime platform. You write ordinary Python, decorate it, and Beam deploys it as a web endpoint, a task queue, a scheduled job, or a secure sandbox running on on-demand CPU and GPU containers with per-second billing, rapid cold starts, and automatic scaling.

Beam publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network: Task Queues API, Tasks API, and Web Endpoints API. Tagged areas include Serverless, GPU, Python, Inference, and Containers.

The Beam catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Beam’s developer surface includes authentication, engineering blog, documentation, and 8 more developer resources.
