Run AI coding agents in parallel on your own cloud.

Every agent gets its own isolated container on a VM billed to your cloud account — full Linux, Docker + git, reachable in the browser. Run 5 or 500 at once.

What You Get

Agents in parallel, each in a real environment. Every agent runs in its own isolated Docker container on a VM you own — full Linux, Docker, and git, reachable from any browser. Run a handful or hundreds at once, each in a clean workspace.

Bring your own cloud. VMs are provisioned in your own Hetzner, Scaleway, or GCP account and billed directly to you. SAM never stores your cloud provider credentials as platform env vars — they're encrypted per-user. Your agents, your infra, your data.

Bring your own agent. Six harnesses work today: Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Mistral, OpenCode, and Amp. Use your own API key, your OAuth/subscription token, or the platform proxy.

Chat-first, and it outlives workspaces. Link a GitHub repo, describe a task in natural language, and watch every tool call stream back. Conversations persist at the project level — stop a workspace, spin up a new one weeks later, and your full history is still there.

Serverless control plane. Self-hosted on Cloudflare ($5/mo Workers Paid plan) — the control plane provisions, schedules, and tears down workspaces with nothing to babysit. A workspace costs ~$0.007–0.03/hr compared to $0.18–0.36/hr on GitHub Codespaces.

How It Works

You: "Add rate limiting to the /api/upload endpoint"
         |
    Project Chat (app.{domain})
         |
    Cloudflare Worker API
         |
    TaskRunner -- alarm-driven orchestrator that:
      1. Claims a warm node or provisions a new VM in your cloud
      2. Creates a Docker workspace with your repo
      3. Starts your chosen agent with the task description
      4. Streams agent output back to project chat
         |
    Agent streams results back as it works

Architecture

Layer	What	How
Control plane	API, auth, orchestration	Cloudflare Workers + D1 + KV + R2
Real-time data	Chat messages, activity, sessions	Durable Objects with embedded SQLite (per project)
Compute	Workspaces running coding agents	VMs in your own cloud (Hetzner, Scaleway, or GCP) with a Go agent managing Docker containers, WebSocket terminal, and auth
Warm pool	Fast workspace starts	Completed VMs stay warm for 30 min for instant reuse

The control plane is serverless — no servers to manage, no databases to back up. Compute scales to zero when you're not using it.

Quick Deploy

SAM deploys automatically via GitHub Actions. Fork, configure, push. For the complete setup guide with detailed steps and troubleshooting, see the Self-Hosting Guide.

Prerequisites

• A Cloudflare account (Workers Paid plan, $5/mo)
• A domain with nameservers pointing to Cloudflare
• A GitHub App for OAuth + repo access

Steps

1. Fork this repository
2. Create a GitHub Environment named production in your fork's Settings > Environments
3. Add the required secrets (Cloudflare API token, GitHub App credentials, etc. — see the Self-Hosting Guide for the full list)
4. Push to main — GitHub Actions provisions all infrastructure, deploys the API + UI, runs migrations, and verifies health

Your instance is live at app.{your-domain}. Users sign in with GitHub and provide their own cloud provider API token (Hetzner, Scaleway, or GCP) to create workspaces.

Development

pnpm install        # Install dependencies
pnpm build          # Build all packages
pnpm test           # Run tests
pnpm typecheck      # Type check
pnpm lint           # Lint
pnpm format         # Format

Build packages in dependency order: shared > providers > cloud-init > api / web.
