Bacalhau is a decentralized compute platform for running jobs on data stored across distributed networks, like IPFS or Filecoin, without moving the data to centralized cloud environments. It allows developers to run containerized workloads close to where the data lives, reducing latency, cost, and privacy risks. Bacalhau supports various runtime environments and is designed to make decentralized data processing as accessible as traditional cloud computing. It’s especially useful for large-scale AI/ML jobs, scientific research, and content indexing in Web3 ecosystems.

Features

  • Decentralized compute over IPFS and Web3 storage
  • Supports Docker, WASM, and language-specific runtimes
  • Runs jobs where the data is stored, not the other way around
  • Easy job submission via CLI or API
  • Optimized for AI/ML, big data, and distributed analytics
  • Pluggable compute providers and storage backends
  • Transparent execution with logs and result provenance
