Akash Network is a decentralized cloud marketplace where tenants purchase cloud-grade compute in an open market from providers in a permissionless manner, and is built with Cosmos SDK. (source) AlterDapp recently joined as a contributor and cloud provider on Akash. AlterDapp also runs Altermail, a privacy-optimized messaging service that is now powered by Akash. (source) ALTER dapp is built on Secret Network (subreddit: r/SecretNetwork), which is a layer one solution also built with Cosmos SDK.

You can find official documentation here, but it's not that helpful towards newer developers without Docker experience as that knowledge is assumed. The full process of a NodeJS app being developed and deployed can be seen here, and once you have familiarized yourself with Docker, you can use the official documentation for better reference.

Please find the instructions here: https://github.com/ovrclk/docs/blob/master/guides/node/upgrades/akash-3.0.md

Akash claims to be the world's first open-source, censorship-resistant, permissionless & self-sovereign decentralised solution for the cloud computing market. Akash Network uses a DPOS blockchain as a decentralised solution for managing accounting and recording transactions & deployements of the Akash Marketplace, which connects 'leasers' & 'tenents' of cloud computing deployements. It may be first useful to familarise yourself with a breif overview of the project found here: https://messari.io/asset/akash-network/profile or https://docs.akash.network/.

For cloud computing you could use https://docs.akash.network/

Hadn't heard of it till you mentioned it. It took a while to find information on what they're doing,

All three seems to have some sort of documentation. Golem has their handbook, Akash has their documentation, and iExec has theirs.

https://github.com/ovrclk/docs/blob/b6ef2944ad0538f970fb20b3b0860cdedd260b41/guides/deploy/deploy.yml this is one for another application

Golem, develop Docker applications and make use of their (now) very limited features. It's best suited for heavy calculations, or calculations you can split up between dozens or hundreds of nodes through sharding. A fork is working on bringing GPU & internet access, but it can be hard otherwise. They have a GLM Rewards Program that - generously rewards up to 20 users per month under regular conditions.

For compute, my experience has been the best with Akash, then Golem, then I have been unsuccessful with any other project as of yet. Both of these supports Docker images, but Golem is painfully thorough with securing providers with sandboxing in both networking and workloads. This makes Akash easier to use right now when wanting to run something more advanced such as a custom backend or a Minecraft Server.

If you want to run scientific calculations or similar, I highly recommend Golem. Right now, its best applications are ones that can scale by sharding, to use parallel computations. Think doing 100 similar small jobs on 100 computers instead of 1 large job on 1 computer. One average CPU-month costs $3.17, or you can rent 100 CPU-hours for $0.44. Notable examples are blender_cuda which runs on a GPU, and the entirety of awesome-golem.

if you're not using your computer, you can consider letting other people use it! come checkout golem, a distributed super computer similar to Folding@Home, but for all kinds of computation not just protein research. You even earn some money and it's really easy to get started.

This is where the math of VPS on demand for testing vs home starts to matter. OR higher buy in but lower ongoing is SBC boards. Raspberry pi, turingpi, ION whatever boards from nvidia. All have higher cost, more limited abilities (in some ways) but FOR SURE are way lower power/heat than traditional low initial cost/higher ongoing. It's a common issue. Getting yourself a NAS or ESOS or SAN or whatever as an always on, mount it on the projects you need as storage. Depends on what you want, but an always on computer can do a hell of allot. golem.network, idle mining, BOINC for science, etc etc. Dunno, GLHF

It is public and been running for a bit now, seeing as you asked I assume its ok for me to say its golem.network ? Definitely open though if you want to join

Run a golem.network node to rent out some pi's to others who can purchase their compute power, isn't much but glad to help someone when I'm not using it
