Containers on demand. Billed by the second.

svl runs any container image from your terminal. Log in with your email, svl run an image, then SSH straight in. No dashboards, no YAML.

Everything a dev box needs. Nothing it doesn't.

Docker-shaped commands, real public addresses, and a meter that stops the moment you do.

Billed by the second
Prepaid credit, metered per second while your pod runs. Nothing when it's stopped.
SSH into any image
No sshd needed. svl ssh, exec, cp and port-forward work on every container, and VS Code Remote works too.
Sandboxed by gVisor
Every pod on shared hardware runs in its own gVisor sandbox with its own kernel boundary.
IPv4 + IPv6 ports
Publish ports on public v4 and v6 addresses, or keep them private and reach them with svl forward.
Network volumes
Attach a named volume with -v data:/workspace. It outlives the pod and follows you to the next one.
Teams & roles
Invite people to an account as members, admins or owners. Everyone's pods, one balance.
Private registries
svl registry login once; private images pull with your credentials, never stored on nodes.
Sydney region
Running on our own hardware in Sydney (au-syd), with more regions and GPUs on the way.
