Deploy Code, Not Servers

Deploy from GitHub in one click, or push a build with a deploy token. Managed PostgreSQL, auto SSL, zero-downtime deploys.

Pay with UPI, Razorpay, or Cards — no international credit card needed

Deploy in 3 Steps

From your repo to a running app, in three steps

1

Create Your App

Name your app in the dashboard. Done in 10 seconds.

2

Connect & Deploy

Connect GitHub and press Deploy, or create a deploy token and upload your code.

curl -X POST .../api/deploy/<your-app> -H "Authorization: Bearer cpt_..." --data-binary @app.tar.gz
3

You're Live

Built, deployed and served over HTTPS. The build log streams to your browser while it runs.

Everything Included in Every Plan

No add-ons, no tiers, no hidden fees — all features on all plans

Two Ways to Deploy

Connect GitHub and deploy with one click, or use a deploy token with curl from your terminal or your CI. Your choice.

Managed PostgreSQL 16

One-click database with DATABASE_URL configured for you, and backups you can restore from the dashboard. No DBA needed.

Auto SSL & HTTPS

Let's Encrypt certificates issued and renewed automatically. Every app, every custom domain — zero config.

Custom Domains

Add your domain in the panel, confirm ownership with a TXT record, then point a CNAME at your app. SSL is issued and renewed automatically. Multiple domains per app.

Zero-Downtime Deploys

New version builds while old one serves. Health check passes, traffic switches. Deploys don't take your app offline.

GitHub Integration

Connect your repo, pick a branch, press Deploy. All plans include GitHub integration — not a premium add-on.

Deploy Tokens

Generate a secure per-app token from the dashboard. Then deploy with a single curl command from your terminal or CI/CD.

App Logs

Your app's recent output in the dashboard, refreshed automatically every 10 seconds. No SSH, no log-shipping setup.

Environment Variables

Encrypted at rest, injected at runtime. Change secrets without redeploying. Bulk import via API.

Isolated Resources

Every app runs in its own container with a hard memory limit and a CPU quota, so no single app can take the machine down with it.

Persistent SSD Storage

Storage that persists across deployments — it is a mounted volume, not part of the build. File uploads, SQLite databases and generated assets all survive a redeploy.

Database Backups

Scheduled overnight dumps with a week of history kept, and one-click restore from the dashboard.

Live Metrics

CPU and memory sampled every 60 seconds and charted per app. See exactly what your app is using before you decide to upgrade.

Scale Processes & Workers

Declare web and worker process types in a Procfile, then run up to 10 instances of each. Background jobs run alongside your web app, scaled independently.

Watch Your Build Live

Build output streams to your browser as it happens. When something fails you see the line that broke it, not a generic error.

One-Click Starter Templates

Node.js, Python and PHP starters ready to deploy, or bring your own Dockerfile. Skip the boilerplate and get a working app on your domain.
