I am building a cloud

On 2026-04-22, the author announces fundraising for exe.dev and explains his motivation to build a cloud he would actually want to use. He argues current cloud models are constrained by VM-centric abstractions and Kubernetes, and describes exe.dev’s approach: provisioning CPUs and memory directly, running VMs, with local NVMe storage, TLS/auth proxies, regional presence, and an anycast network. The post also notes ongoing work to add features like static IPs and automatic disk snapshots, as part of rethinking cloud infrastructure.
