Brev.dev
Your GPU machine, in the cloud, in 30 seconds.
Overview
Brev.dev simplifies the process of setting up and using powerful cloud machines, particularly those with GPUs. It allows developers and data scientists to spin up a pre-configured environment on AWS or GCP in seconds, access it via a local-like VS Code experience, and only pay for what they use.
✨ Key Features
- GPU-enabled cloud instances
- One-command setup (brev up)
- Seamless VS Code integration
- Automatic shutdown to save costs
- Pre-installed ML libraries (PyTorch, TensorFlow)
- Runs on your own cloud account (AWS/GCP)
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Extreme ease of use (one command setup)
- Focus on the developer experience for AI/ML
- Cost-effective by running on the user's own cloud account
Unique Value: Removes all the friction from getting a powerful, GPU-enabled cloud development environment, reducing setup time from hours to seconds.
🎯 Use Cases (4)
✅ Best For
- Fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) on powerful GPUs.
- Providing data science teams with on-demand access to powerful compute.
- Running GPU-accelerated simulations and analyses.
💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- Standard web development not requiring GPUs
- Users looking for a fully managed SaaS offering (Brev runs on the user's cloud)
🏆 Alternatives
Unlike notebook-based solutions like Colab, Brev provides a full Linux environment with a seamless VS Code experience, which is better for complex software development. It's simpler to use than manually configuring cloud instances.
