Fluence

Fluence is a decentralized (DePIN) cloud-computing platform offering enterprise-grade CPU and GPU compute — virtual machines, GPU containers, and bare-metal instances — rented from a global marketplace of independent infrastructure providers at up to 85% below traditional clouds, with predictable pricing and zero egress fees. The Fluence API (api.fluence.dev) gives programmatic access to the marketplace: search available compute, deploy and manage VMs, attach storage and public IPs, configure VPCs, subnets, and security groups, register SSH keys, and handle billing. Compute is paid in USDC; the FLT token is used for staking and protocol governance on Fluence's Arbitrum Orbit L2 appchain. Backed by Multicoin Capital.

Fluence publishes 12 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Billing API, Hardware API, Prices API, and 9 more. Tagged areas include Company, Crypto Web3, Cloud Compute, DePIN, and GPU.

Fluence’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, developer console, engineering blog, signup flow, authentication, and 19 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/fluence: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
