What is Simmit?

View as Markdown

Simmit is an API for running SimulationCraft in the cloud. You send it the same .simc profile you'd send to SimC, and Simmit executes SimC for you on managed hardware using an unmodified upstream simulationcraft/simc build.

#When to use Simmit

In most cases, running SimulationCraft locally is ideal and preferred. Simmit is for projects where integrating SimC locally is awkward or impractical, making it easy to run SimC from anywhere that can make an HTTP request. Some examples of what could be built with it:

A Discord bot that runs /sim and posts DPS back
An app or website that runs sims for its users and renders the results
A content pipeline that fans out 1,000+ sims on patch day

Simmit handles VM allocation, parallel fan-out, retries, result storage, and webhook delivery. You pick which build channel to run against, and each job includes the upstream commit it ran on.
