Golem Cloud — On-Prem · Coming soon

Run Golem Cloud inside your own cloud.

Golem Cloud On-Prem is the software we run for managed customers, packaged for your own Kubernetes cluster, on any cloud or on-premises, under an annual license. It is coming soon — talk to us about early access.

What's planned

  • Golem Kubernetes Operator — deploy, scale, and roll out Golem clusters declaratively
  • Prebuilt dashboards for Golem's OpenTelemetry and Prometheus signals — the observability stack we run in production
  • Operational tooling — health monitoring, audit log inspection, deployment lifecycle
  • Placement controls — how agents are distributed and when they run

The open-source edition is the full platform. Cloud is the version we run for you. On-Prem is the same software and operations stack, packaged for your cloud.

Who it's for: teams large enough to want Golem inside their own cloud — whether that's because of regulation, sovereignty, or because your existing infrastructure runs on GCP or Azure and you want Golem to run there alongside it.

Deployment: Kubernetes Targets: AWS, GCP, Azure, on-prem License: Annual Availability: Coming soon

Frequently asked questions

Is Golem Cloud available today?
Yes — Golem Cloud is in Developer Preview: free to use, with no SLAs or data-retention guarantees. Paid plans launch in the coming weeks.
What can I do during the Developer Preview?
Evaluate, experiment, prototype. The Preview is not intended for production workloads.
When will the Paid tier launch?
In the coming weeks. Email us and we'll let you know the moment it's live.
How do I see my usage?
Run golem account usage show for the current month, golem account usage history for past months, and golem account limits show for your limits. The same data is available from the REST API.
How is compute measured?
In Golem Compute Units (GCU). One GCU represents a fixed amount of WebAssembly execution work. Because the unit is deterministic, the same workload produces the same GCU on any machine.
Do idle or suspended agents cost me money?
No. Memory and storage are metered only while an agent is working; idle and suspended agents accrue nothing. No traffic, no bill.
What happens if I hit a limit?
It depends on the limit. Memory and disk per agent are hard caps. When the monthly compute allowance runs out, durable agents pause. Requests beyond the active-agent limit queue rather than fail. Creating apps, environments, or components beyond the limit is rejected. See Limits and fair use above.
What's the difference between quotas and plan limits?
Plan limits are set by your plan and protect the platform. Application quotas are yours: you define resources — API calls, LLM tokens, anything — with rate, capacity, or concurrency limits, and choose whether Golem throttles, rejects, or terminates on overage.
Why is there a free-tier compute allowance?
Because compute runs on our infrastructure. The runtime is free; what you pay for is what we run for you.
Why does Golem charge for storage?
Every agent has its own durable filesystem. Storage is metered for the files your agents keep on disk while they're working.
What will Golem Cloud On-Prem add over the open source edition?
A Kubernetes Operator, prebuilt dashboards, and operational tooling — the same package we use to run Golem Cloud ourselves. On-Prem is coming soon.
Can I run Golem in my own cloud without On-Prem?
Yes — the open source edition is the full platform, including accounts, metering, and plan limits. You'd be responsible for your own deployment, monitoring, and operational tooling.
Who provides support for the open source edition?
Ziverge, our exclusive partner for commercial OSS support.

Crash your first agent in five minutes.
Watch it come back.

Scaffold a durable agent, run it locally, kill the process at any line, and watch it resume exactly where it stopped.
