surfra
A job runs one command, once, on one machine, and ends when the command exits. Pick the image and the machines to try. Surfra places it, streams the output back, and tells you exactly how it ended.
Give an image, a command, and machines in the order to try: your own runner first, a cloud GPU as the fallback. Env values are encrypted when they are stored.
surfra job submit \ --image ghcr.io/me/train:3 \ --runner desk-4090 \ --provider runpod --gpu a100 \ --deadline 12h \ -- python train.py --epochs 10
Standard output and errors stream back while the job runs, from the command line or the dashboard. Job logs are kept for 7 days.
Succeeded, failed with its exit code, stopped, or lost. A job is never retried behind your back, so a run never happens twice.
Set a maximum run time. When it is reached, the job gets SIGTERM, a grace period to save a checkpoint, then SIGKILL.
The job sends a heartbeat. If Surfra stops hearing from it, the machine is released so a hung run stops costing money.
Losing contact with Surfra for a moment does not kill the command. The agent keeps the run going and reconnects.
Allow a job to call specific apps, such as an embedding model, with a key that only works for those apps and only while the job runs.
Save the image, machines, env, and limits under a name, then rerun with one flag and a few new arguments.
Spot machines are cheaper and can be taken back. Surfra tells you up front, since jobs are not retried.
An app answers requests and scales between zero and many replicas. A job runs one command once on exactly one machine and ends when the command exits.
No. A non-zero exit ends the job as failed. Submit it again, or click Run again in the dashboard, when you want another attempt.
Yes. Register the machine as a runner and put it first in the list. A cloud GPU can sit behind it as the fallback.
A running job is never stopped for money. Its logs say the balance is empty and the run keeps going.
Surfra is invite only while we test it. Tell us what you want to run and we will send an invite.
