Overview
Since UC Berkeley published its Cloud Programming Simplified: A Berkeley View on Serverless Computing in the year of 2019, several solutions for Stateful Serverless and Durable Computing are emerging on the market. Originally coming from some contributors to the Cloudstate, Spawn stands as the Erlang world’s answer to the challenges of durable serverless computing.
Unlike serverless runtimes hidden in cloud providers’ black boxes, Spawn is an open-source serverless runtime designed for both cloud and on-premises environments. Powered by BEAM and ERTS, Spawn offers a polyglot programming model for crafting versatile applications. It’s BEAM for all.
Explore the potential of Erlang, regardless of your preferred programming language, to swiftly accomplish your business objectives. Check out our documentation to get started.

Meet Sepp: Our Cyberpunk Mascot
Say hello to Sepp, our cyberpunk mascot and proud Ibex. Sepp, hailing from the Swiss Alps, loves wandering through the Eiger mountains. Despite occasional Viking-like bluntness, he’s a helpful companion who traces his lineage back to Viking times.
The name “Sepp” is indeed a German diminutive or nickname for the name Joseph. It’s similar to how “Joe” is used as a nickname for Joseph in English. In German-speaking regions, it’s common for Joseph to be affectionately referred to as “Sepp.”
This is our little tribute to one of the creators of the Erlang programming language, Joe Armstrong.
