Kedge - Full-stack cloud with forkable VM snapshots and global SQLite

Show HN: Kedge – Full-stack cloud with forkable VM snapshots and global SQLite

Kedge is a lightweight, globally distributed cloud platform designed to deploy static sites, serverless functions, and full-stack applications close to your users. It features secure, hardware-isolated VMs with a full Linux kernel, instant sandboxes, and a built-in global SQLite database with shared filesystems. Developers can leverage SSH, Git, and HTTP APIs for seamless deployment, while enjoying autoscaling that spins up instances near users and scales to zero when idle. With per-second billing on actual resource consumption and a generous free tier, Kedge offers a cost-effective, powerful environment for modern development workflows.

Billed per-second on actual resources consumed, not allocated capacity, with idle apps scaling to zero and paying only for storage.

    This looks awesome! I really love the clean and minimalist website design too.

    I've been excited about using (lib)krun as a drop in replacement for crun/runc for container engines, to make them run qemu microvms. I'm exploring what it could look like if every process of an OS ran like that. I envy you, would love to work on something like this!

    Caught my eye with this one. I'll be taking a closer look as this is one of those "I'd rather let someone else do it." type infrastructure bits :)
