Getting Started

We recommend you first give Burla a try inside our cloud to make sure it's right for you. To try this schedule a call with us and we'll send you a managed trial instance afterward.

Self-Hosted Burla is currently exclusive to Google Cloud. Please reach out and tell us if you want to Self-Host, but aren't on GCP! My email is: [email protected]

1. Ensure gcloud is setup and installed:

If you haven't, install the gcloud CLI, and login using application-default credentials.

Ensure gcloud is pointing at the project you wish to install Burla inside:

  • To view your current gcloud project run: gcloud config get project

  • To change your current gcloud project run: gcloud config set project <NEW-PROJECT-ID>

2. Run the burla install command:

Run pip install burla then run burla install.

What permissions does my Google Cloud account need to run burla install ?

If you don't have permissions, run the command anyway, and it will tell you which ones you are missing. Email [email protected] if you need any help!

To run burla install you'll need permission to run these gcloud commands:

  • gcloud services enable ...

  • gcloud compute firewall-rules create ...

  • gcloud secrets create ...

  • gcloud firestore databases create ...

  • gcloud run deploy ...

The exact required permissions for burla install are listed in the CLI documentation.

3. Start a machine and run some code!

  1. Use the Login button on this website to get to your new cluster dashboard.

  2. Hit the ⏻ Start button to turn the cluster on. By default this starts one 4-CPU node. If inactive for >10 minutes this node will shut itself off. If you pass grow=True to remote_parallel_map it will start this node by itself.

  3. While booting, run burla login to connect your local computer to your cluster.

  4. Run the example below!
