Cheap rented compute — roughly $10 a month for a VM that runs n8n and Ollama when your own hardware won't.
Local hardware is the blocker (the course singles out Intel laptops) and you'd rather rent than upgrade.
About $10/month to move the whole local stack off your machine
GPU options for model workloads local hardware can't touch
Rents virtual machines, some GPU-backed, by the month
Hosts self-hosted n8n and Ollama for always-on workflows
Doesn't manage anything for you — it's a machine, and it's yours to maintain
The escape hatch when the fully-local stack is right in principle but wrong for your laptop.
Backend, hosting & code
No always-on workload.
None currently.
