⚡ Flashenv

The fastest way to spin up disposable Docker environments on AWS.

FlashEnv is a CLI tool designed for developers who need a fresh, isolated Docker environment in seconds. It automates the boring stuff: creating EC2 instances, configuring Security Groups, managing SSH keys, and installing Docker.

Stop paying for idle staging servers. Spin it up, test your code, and nuke it when you're done.
