Lambda Labs + Meridian
Deploy GPU-accelerated inference workloads on Lambda Labs infrastructure while Meridian handles licensing, metering, and customer identity — so you ship features instead of billing code.
Architecture Overview
Meridian sits between your customers and your Lambda Labs GPU fleet. Customers authenticate through Meridian, receive short-lived tokens, and your inference API validates those tokens before dispatching work to Lambda instances.
Customer Auth
Meridian issues Ed25519-signed license tokens tied to hardware fingerprints and subscription tiers.
Token Validation
Your API edge validates tokens via Meridian SDK before accepting inference requests.
GPU Dispatch
Validated requests hit your Lambda Labs instances running vLLM, TGI, or custom runtimes.
Quickstart
Install the Meridian SDK in your API layer:
npm install @getnimbus/meridian-sdkValidate a license token before forwarding to Lambda:
import { validateToken } from '@getnimbus/meridian-sdk';
const result = await validateToken({
token: req.headers['x-meridian-token'],
tier: 'pro',
});
if (!result.valid) {
return new Response('Unauthorized', { status: 401 });
}
// Forward to Lambda Labs instance
await fetch('https://your-lambda-instance:8000/v1/chat/completions', {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: JSON.stringify(payload),
});Recommended Tiers
Map Meridian license tiers to Lambda Labs GPU types. Customers upgrade through Meridian — your infrastructure scales automatically.
| Tier | Lambda GPU | Rate Limit | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | 1× A10 | 60 req/min | $49/mo |
| Pro | 4× A100 | 600 req/min | $299/mo |
| Enterprise | 8× H100 | Unmetered | Custom |
