Spinifex

Local AWS: Same workloads, running wherever you want them

What it does

Spinifex runs AWS services on your infrastructure, with the same APIs. Move workloads off hyperscalers, run AI cheaper, take the cloud to the edge - without rewriting your software. Core services (EC2, S3, EBS etc.) that your workload was built upon, can now be "dragged and dropped" to wherever you need them!

Spinifex runs AWS APIs on your infrastructure. Move workloads off hyperscalers, run AI cheaper, take the cloud to the edge - without rewriting your software.

Spinifex recreates the AWS services your software already uses, on infrastructure you control. Move workloads off the hyperscalers, run AI at a fraction of the cost, or take the cloud to the edge. Without rewriting a line. Train and serve AI on GPUs, run your compute, and keep data in S3-compatible object storage, all with the same Terraform and AWS SDKs your team already deploys with. The exact build you ship to AWS, Spinifex serves on your own infrastructure. Nothing rewritten, nothing re-platformed. Same EC2, EBS, S3, VPC, and IAM APIs, running on hardware you own, at the edge, or on a Neocloud partner, with full sovereignty over your data, your keys, and your jurisdiction.

    Hey HN: Kaveh here, the founder of https://www.usage.ai/ We help companies drive down AWS EC2 spend. Why? Because the way it's done now is a pain. DevOps and Software Engineers end up spending time managing costs rather than focusing on business problems. Previous to founding Usage, I worked on high-performance computing research at JP Morgan Chase and as a software engineer at a number of smaller startups. Here's how it works: We are typically brought in by a DevOps manager to cut AWS EC2 costs. The app is entirely self-service and the savings are generated automatically,…

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
