Scale Python across 1000 computers in 1 second. Using one line of code.

Burla is a package with only one function. Here's how it works:

from burla import remote_parallel_map

my_inputs = list(range(1000))

def my_function(x):
    print(f"I'm running on my own separate computer in the cloud! #{x}")

remote_parallel_map(my_function, my_inputs)

This runs my_function on 1000 vm's in the cloud, in 1 second:

Easily build scalable Data-Pipelines.

Define any hardware at runtime, Burla scales up to 10,000 CPUs in a single function call. Load data in parallel from the cloud storage bucket mounted to every worker: /workspace/shared

remote_parallel_map(process, ...)
remote_parallel_map(aggregate, ..., func_cpu=64)
remote_parallel_map(predict, ..., func_gpu="A100")

This creates a pipeline like:

Monitor progress in the dashboard:

Cancel bad runs, filter logs to watch individual inputs, or watch output files appear in the storage UI.

How it works:

With Burla, running code in the cloud feels the same as coding on your laptop:

return_values = remote_parallel_map(my_function, my_inputs)

When functions are run with remote_parallel_map:

• Anything they print appears locally (and inside Burla's dashboard).

• Any exceptions are thrown locally.

• Any packages or local modules they use are (very quickly) cloned on remote machines.

• Code starts running in under one second! Even with millions of inputs or thousands of machines.

Features:

📦 Automatic Package Sync

Burla automatically (and very quickly) clones your Python packages in every remote machine where your code runs.

🐋 Custom Containers

Easily run code in any Docker container. Public or private, just paste an image URI in the settings, then hit start!

📂 Network Filesystem

Need to get big data into/out of the cluster? Burla automatically mounts a cloud storage bucket to ./shared in every container.

⚙️ Variable Hardware Per-Function

The func_cpu and func_ram args make it possible to assign big hardware to some functions, and less to others.
