Hi HN! We're Jake, Jack, and Joe, and we're happy to share what we think is probably the simplest way to scale python code across thousands of computers in the cloud.<p>Coming from the Biotech world we were frustrated by how surprisingly slow and difficult it can be to iterate on large-sca...

Hi all, we're Jake, Jack and Joe, and we're building the open-source alternative to modal labs.<p>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.<p>This i...
Hi HN!
We're Jake, Jack, and Joe, and we're the makers of Burla, an open-source, batch-processing platform for python.<p>We were frustrated by how slow and difficult it can be to iterate on large batch processing pipelines.
Simple small changes necessitated rebuilding docker containers, wa...
Hi HN! We're Jake, Jack, and Joe, the creators of Burla, the world's simplest cluster compute software.<p>Believe it or not, it's still super common for research / data-analysis teams to handoff work to Engineering because they aren't able to easily scale analyses on their o...
I tried setting up an AI git commit tool this weekend and it was hell.<p>All the tools are either not maintained, outdated, or make it a total pain to customize the system prompt. All I wanted was simple AI commit messages, that I can customize!<p>Introducing Giz: A tiny, drop in replacement for `gi...
Burla is an open-source python package with one function: `remote_parallel_map`<p>Given: a function, and a list of inputs; `remote_parallel_map` runs that function on every input in the list in parallel, each in a separate vm in the cloud, then returns a list of results.
It can run any Python functi...

Hi I'm Jake a co-founder at Burla.dev. We're building a cloud platform with the learning curve of a toaster! (yes, a normal toaster you'd find in your kitchen)<p>I'm not kidding. Our Python package only has one function, and it only requires two arguments. Using this function eve...
Hi HN, I'm a co-founder of Burla.dev, we're building cluster compute software for Python beginners.<p>We help people in Biotech, Geospatial, and quant-finance scale their analyses in the cloud without help from other engineering teams.<p>There are many fields where people code daily and de...
