HivePods
A HivePod is your own cloud dev environment, ready in seconds. Pick an operating system, choose how much power you need, and you’re in: open a terminal in your browser or from your own computer with the hivepod CLI.
Use HivePods to:
- code and test on a fresh Linux machine,
- run things that aren’t web apps, such as background workers, bots and scripts,
- host a small web server on its own address.
