Fast isolated Linux microVMs with one portable artifact that runs identically on your laptop, smol cloud, or self-hosted infrastructure.
smol machines provides Linux microVMs that start in under a second with true hardware isolation for running untrusted code, giving coding agents persistent resettable workspaces, and forking many identical environments from one warm snapshot. The ecosystem includes smolvm (free open-source microVM engine plus CLI on GitHub), smol cloud (managed hosted fleets with usage-based pricing), and smol SDK and CLI (Node and Python Machine API). One portable .smolmachine artifact runs the same VM locally, in the cloud, or self-hosted with no rewrites. smol machines is a product of smol machines.
