How It Works

Beam is designed for launching remote serverless containers quickly. There are a few things that make this possible:

  • A custom, lazy loading image format (CLIP) backed by S3/FUSE
  • A fast, redis-based container scheduling engine
  • Content-addressed storage for caching images and files
  • A custom runc container runtime

​
Quickstart

Create an account on Beam and download the Beam SDK to get started:
