1. A method, comprising:
storing, in a database of a compute service provider, integrated hardware data including host logic of the compute service provider integrated with a hardware design received from a third-party developer, wherein the integrated hardware data is configured to be programmed into a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) on a server computer;
receiving a request to launch a virtual machine instance in the compute service provider, wherein the request includes an identifier to the integrated hardware data;
retrieving the integrated hardware data in response to the request to launch the virtual machine instance; and
transmitting the integrated hardware data to the server computer to configure the FPGA in conjunction with launching the virtual machine instance on the server computer.
