Originally developed at Carnegie Mellon University, Autolab is an open-sourced platform for auto-grading programming assignments. Our vision is to bring the benefits of autograding to all programming and computer science classes, at the secondary- and university-levels.
If you’re interested in using Autolab for your class or school, reach out and we’d be happy to help you get up and running. Also be sure to check out the source and documentation on GitHub.

AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
The Autolab software is free to use, so you pay only for the AWS compute time that runs it. You pick from 14 EC2 instance types, and each is billed per hour. The choices split into two families. The t3 and t3a types offer general-purpose sizing, from small up to 2xlarge. The c6i types are compute-focused, from large up to 8xlarge. Larger sizes in each family provide more CPU and memory capacity. Your hourly rate scales with the instance size you select. No commitment term applies to the software itself.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What do the t3, t3a, and c6i instance families each provide for running Autolab?
The t3 and t3a families offer general-purpose CPU and memory for typical course loads. The c6i family focuses on compute power for heavier autograding workloads. All run the same free Autolab software. You pick the family and size that match your grading volume and student count.
Am I charged when an Autolab instance is stopped or idle between grading periods?
You pay the hourly rate only while an instance runs. A fully stopped instance stops accruing hourly compute charges. Underlying AWS storage for the stopped instance may still incur separate fees. The Autolab software itself is free, so no software charge applies at any time.
Do I need a separate charge to run both the Autolab frontend and the Tango autograder?
Both services run on the EC2 instance you launch, so you pay only the single hourly compute rate for that instance. Tango distributes grading jobs to virtual machines or containers. Running larger classes may require choosing a bigger instance size, which raises your hourly rate.

CloudFormation Template (CFT)
AWS CloudFormation templates are JSON or YAML-formatted text files that simplify provisioning and management on AWS. The templates describe the service or application architecture you want to deploy, and AWS CloudFormation uses those templates to provision and configure the required services (such as Amazon EC2 instances or Amazon RDS DB instances). The deployed application and associated resources are called a "stack."
