Shell commands in the cloud

Shell Commands in the Cloud

Run command-line tools and scripts from anywhere using SSH or HTTP.

Request Access

Many command-line utilities can now be put in the cloud, configured just as you need, and run from anywhere using SSH with no installation.

Empower your team with scripts and custom tooling that doesn't need to be set up. Just give access and others can run the command.

Running commands via HTTP and WebSocket open up new ways to integrate shell scripting and utilities into your apps and internal systems.

It was made for running short lived, sometimes interactive programs made for the command-line. Programs are run in their own stateless, isolated execution environment in the cloud.

Programs are run as commands using SSH, HTTP, or WebSocket. You can give them environment variables, arguments, and STDIN. They then stream back the output of STDOUT and STDERR. It's effectively a cloud API for POSIX tasks.

However, Cmd is not designed to run long-lived programs, programs that accept network connections, or programs that require interactive access to the user filesystem.

Cmd was built to do one thing and do it well.
It was designed to be composable with other systems.
