Show HN: Burla – Distributed computing framework for AI agents

https://burla.dev/
4•jack_burla•51m ago
Hi HN! Would love any thoughts on this, we built Burla to enable anyone, even total beginners to scale Python to thousands of computers in their cloud with zero hassle. In a world of coding agents, this means something different than it used to, specifically that Burla requires almost no cloud permissions to get started. Anyone who has permission to boot a VM in their cloud can simply pip install burla and scale Python to 1000's of VM's. Burla uses your local aws cli credentials to boot VM's and the dashboard runs locally for you to monitor resources and jobs.

All together this creates a UX where you can simply ask your agent to do something like "Vector embed all of Wikipedia" and it will do it far faster and with less compute than it would have using any cloud service.
