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 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/vers: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
