Show HN: Kedge – Full-stack cloud with forkable VM snapshots and global SQLite
Introducing Kedge: A Global Full-Stack Cloud Platform
Kedge is a streamlined, worldwide cloud infrastructure designed for high efficiency and low latency.
Whether you are deploying static websites, serverless functions, complex full-stack applications, or databases, Kedge ensures your code lives physically close to your end-users.
🚀 Getting Started
You can trigger a deployment instantly via the command line:
echo '# Hello, world!' | ssh kedge.dev
(Note: Refer to the official quickstart guide for more sophisticated implementation examples.)
🛠️ Core Capabilities
Kedge offers a robust suite of tools for the modern developer:
- Compute: Hardware-isolated VMs featuring a complete Linux kernel.
- Elasticity: Rapidly deploy sandboxes and scale-out; instances
stay on foreverscale to zero when inactive. - Data: Integrated global SQLite databases and a shared filesystem available to every application.
- Persistence: Local volumes that are continuously mirrored to object storage.
- Networking:
- Public HTTPS endpoints and custom domain support.
- Isolated private networking.
- An integrated CDN for caching static assets at the edge.
- Developer Experience:
- Full API access via
SSH,Git, andHTTP(ideal for AI agents and CLI power-users). - GitHub integration allowing push-to-deploy and unique preview environments for every Pull Request.
- Full API access via

💰 Transparent Pricing
Kedge utilizes a consumption-based model. You are billed per-second for the resources you actually use, not for the capacity you allocate.
Billing Logic:
- CPU: Only billed for scheduled milliseconds.
- Memory: Tracks active resident pages.
- Storage: Billed only for the actual bytes occupied.
Rate Card
| Resource | Rate | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | \15$ | per vCPU-month |
| Memory | \5$ | per GB-month |
| Storage | \0.05$ | per GB-month |
| Egress | \0.01$ | per GB |
The Free Tier: Kedge provides a credit-based system with a monthly allowance: This is typically sufficient to host a development box or a small-scale website at zero cost.
