Hello HN community! Elias here, and I’m thrilled to share a tool I've developed.
Seamlessly launch Python or JS pods in the cloud with a single line of code (marginally speaking). Ideal for:
Testing code or libraries you'd rather not run locally (like output from an LLM model or an unfamiliar script).
Serving as a "stateful" serverless backend, handling heavy libraries such as pandas. It's designed for swift scalability, booting pods in mere hundreds of milliseconds.
How does it work? Here’s a quick look:
(In IPython or a Jupyter Notebook)
# !pip install telekinesis
from telekinesis import authenticate
node = await authenticate('wss://payper.run')
pod_py = await node.get('/>/market')().get('/>/compute/python')()
pod_js = await node.get('/>/market')().get('/>/compute/js')()
Specifications & Pricing:
Default: 400 MB memory, 0.4 vCPUs at $0.000240/min.
Easily adjustable settings & pre-installed pip packages.

A standout feature is the Telekinesis library, which I crafted (
https://github.com/telekinesis-inc/telekinesis). It lets you securely transfer functions and objects between computers, simplifying interactions between multiple untrusted code sources without API hassles.
For example:
function_py = await pod_py.execute("return lambda name='World': f'Hello, {name}!'")
// You can pass remote functions (Telekinesis objects) as arguments:
function_js = await pod_js.execute("return async (f, x) => `Remote function says: ${await f(x)}`")
print(await function_js(function_py, "HN")) # Should print "Remote function says: Hello, HN!"
This establishes rich interactions and avoids the complexities of API setups.
Feedback & Contact:
Your thoughts are invaluable to me as I strive to refine this tool. Please don't hesitate to ask questions here or reach out to me directly at [email protected].
P.S. While the pods require a sign-up:
It’s a breezy 3-click process.
We don’t request your email.
You receive ample free credits for extensive testing. Need more? I'm eager to exchange additional free credits for feedback to enhance the service.
