Prism Roadmap¶

Prism is under active development. The authoritative, always-current view of planned work lives on GitHub:

• Milestones — grouped, dated goals
• Issues — individual features and fixes
• CHANGELOG.md — what has already shipped, per release

This page gives a high-level sense of direction; it intentionally does not duplicate the issue tracker (which drifts out of date the moment it's copied).

Current direction¶

• spore.host foundation — Prism's instance launch, lifecycle, and pricing are built on the spore.host toolchain (spawn for launch/lifecycle, truffle for pricing) rather than hand-rolled AWS calls. This includes multi-instance workloads: job arrays and parameter sweeps.
• Cost control — budget engine with live enforcement, per-project limits, idle detection and hibernation, spot pricing.
• Collaboration — projects, research users, invitations, courses, and workshops for labs and classrooms.
• Two interfaces — a scriptable CLI and a desktop GUI over one daemon.

Proposing or tracking work¶

Open an issue to request a feature or report a bug. Larger efforts are organized under milestones.
