One API. Full Claw infrastructure. Chowder is the fastest way to deploy, manage, and talk to your OpenClaw instances — from anywhere. Spin up fully isolated claws in seconds. Connect them to 11 messaging channels. Install skills. Manage auth. Persist memory. All through a single OpenAI-compatible API. From zero to deployed in under a minute.

Hey PH.. recently I've been seeing a lot of startups building on OpenClaw When I tried playing around with it it seemed like setting one up on a cloud is a lot harder than it should be.. so I built Chowder Chowder is a single API for you to launch and configure claw instances.. for yourself, your team or your users It gives you all the claw functionality through a streamlined api so you can focus on building the rest of your infrastructure Docs -> docs.chowder.dev Enjoy the chowder..

Interesting approach but pricing is insane though
100$ per month is crazy for something that is open source

considering you can take a 5-10$ server and run the same thing

@vadimg agreed.. this was a weekend project so the pricing was a miss will readjust

what's a good amount that would be comfortable to pay for an api wrapping around it making it more comfortable to work with?

@vadimg If you only need one OpenClaw bot, the $10 VM wins. Chowder's single API is for spinning up lots of isolated instances for users, wiring channels, and installing skills, so you don't live in SSH and gateway configs. Calling out the free Shrimp tier and per-instance billing would help.

Very cool - congrats! Where is it hosted? HOw do you think about security?

@daniele_packard hey we're an aws partner so it's all hosted on aws.. the gateway is not reachable from the outside and can only be accessed through the chowder api which secures it standardly through api keys

what would you use chowder for daniele?

Mykola Kondratiuk

This is cool. What's the use case you're targeting? Like spinning up isolated agents for different tasks? I've been running OpenClaw locally but API-based instances could be interesting for scaling.

A bit expensive, but cool. Congratulations on the launch!

One API for full Claw infrastructure is clean, the deployment/orchestration layer is always the messiest part. 11 messaging channels out of the box is impressive. How's the latency on spinning up new instances?
