Light Cloud is a deployment platform for web apps - connect a GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket repo, push, and get a live URL for static sites, containers, and managed databases.
Introduction
Light Cloud is a deployment platform for web apps. Connect a GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket repository, push, and get a live URL. It runs static sites, containers, and managed databases on one platform.
What you can deploy#
- Static sites served from a global CDN. React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, SolidJS, Qwik, Gatsby, plain HTML, and Next.js static export.
- Containers on Cloud Run. Next.js, Nuxt, SvelteKit, Remix, Django, Rails, Laravel, Spring Boot - any Node, Python, Go, Java, Ruby, PHP, or .NET app, or your own Dockerfile. See Frameworks for the full list.
- Managed PostgreSQL or MySQL provisioned next to your app. See Databases.
How it works#
- Connect a GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket repository.
- Light Cloud detects the framework and the build.
- Every push builds the commit and deploys it.
- Static assets go to the CDN, containers run on Cloud Run.
- You get a live URL, plus logs and metrics.
The full pipeline, step by step, is on How it works.
Three ways to deploy#
- From GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket. Connect a repo and every push ships. See Deployments and Git providers.
- From your AI. Deploy from Claude with the MCP server, or from GitHub Copilot with the VS Code extension. See Deploy with AI.
- From a local folder. Upload a project without a repository. See Deploy from an upload.
The pieces#
| Piece | What it is | Docs |
|---|---|---|
| Application | One deployed project, linked to one repository | Deployments |
| Environment | One running copy of an application, one per branch | Preview environments |
| Deployment | One build and release of one commit | Builds |
| Database | Managed PostgreSQL or MySQL next to your apps | Databases |
| Domain | Your own hostname on any environment | Custom domains |
