LicenseApache-2.0

Bacalhau schedules container and WebAssembly jobs onto the machines that already hold the input data, so large datasets are processed in place instead of being copied to a central cluster first. A single self-contained binary acts as client, orchestrator, and compute node, with storage integrations for S3, HTTP, IPFS, and local volumes.

Golem is a peer-to-peer network where requestors run batch tasks on machines shared by providers, paying per use in the GLM token. Tasks execute inside provider-hosted environments such as VM images, as a single task or as many parallel tasks spread across providers.
