Hi all, we're Jake, Jack and Joe, and we're building the open-source alternative to modal labs.

We think Modal's great, and wanted to use it at our previous places of work, but weren't allowed to because it was too expensive, and our data couldn't leave our cloud.

This is why we built Burla, the open-source alternative to modal.

Burla can run any python function on 1000 computers in around 1 second. It works with any container, any hardware, and can be installed with one command (currently only compatible with Google Cloud).

Would love to hear any thoughts or suggestions! We're open to chatting: https://cal.com/jakez/burla
