Vers

Vers is "git for running compute" — a branchable microVM platform from HD Research (hdresearch) that lets you fork a live virtual machine (memory, processes, sockets and all) in roughly 258 microseconds, commit its state as an immutable content-addressable snapshot, and restore or branch that snapshot anywhere. Built for AI agent swarms, parallel scenario and database-state testing, CI preview environments, and time-travel debugging, Vers exposes a 63-operation Orchestrator Control Plane API (OpenAPI 3.1) behind a bearer API key, plus a git-style CLI, official SDKs for nine languages, and two Model Context Protocol servers so coding agents can drive compute directly.

Vers publishes 12 APIs on the APIs.io network, including commit_tags API, commits API, deploy API, and 9 more. Tagged areas include Company, Compute, Virtualization, MicroVM, and Orchestration.

Vers’ developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, signup flow, authentication, and 18 more developer resources.
