Coiled

Coiled is a lightweight cloud compute platform that lets Python developers scale their code to thousands of cloud machines without managing Kubernetes, Docker, or infrastructure. Built by the maintainers of Dask, Coiled provisions cloud VMs and Dask clusters in a user's own AWS, GCP, or Azure account, automatically replicates the local software environment, runs the work across large clusters, and tears the resources back down when finished. It powers Dask clusters, serverless functions, batch jobs, hosted Jupyter notebooks, and interactive CLI jobs, and exposes a first-party Python client, a `coiled` command-line interface, and a token-authenticated REST API. Coiled was surfaced as a portfolio company of Bessemer Venture Partners.

Coiled publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Ai Ml, Cloud Computing, Data Science, and Dask.

Coiled’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, support, and 17 more developer resources.
