Kernel is a powerful serverless platform that enables developers to deploy and scale browser automations without worrying about infrastructure.
  • Integrated browser environment - Seamlessly create and connect your web agent to our cloud-based browsers on-demand
  • Parallel scaling - Run concurrent browsers on-demand; we scale with you
  • Securely isolated - Kernel browsers are sandboxed in individual isolated virtual machines
  • State persistence - Maintain browser sessions across invocations, preserving cookies, auth tokens, and history
  • Live debugging - View and interact with browser sessions in real-time using our Live View
  • Replays - Review past browser session videos
  • Simple, predictable pricing - Pay only for the resources you use without pre-defining infrastructure requirements

How to use Kernel

There are two ways to use the Kernel platform:

​
1. Deploy and invoke your web agent on our platform

Kernel’s platform allows you to to deploy your app’s code to our cloud. This allows you to co-locate your browser automation or web agent directly alongside the browser it controls in the cloud, minimizing latency and connection issues common with other platforms. Follow our quickstart guide to get started.

​
2. Connect to remote browsers via Chrome DevTools Protocol

For developers who already have browsers automations in production but want to use Kernel’s cloud-based browsers, you can quickly spin up remote browsers and connect to them with the Chrome DevTools Protocol: 
import { Kernel } from '@onkernel/sdk';
const kernel = new Kernel();
const kernelBrowser = await kernel.browsers.create();
const browser = await chromium.connectOverCDP(kernelBrowser.cdp_ws_url);
