Three ways in, three places to run, and what Cloudgate looks after once your app is live. Every Service sits in a Project and an Environment, and every Deployment is one attempt to build and release it.
From the console, from your AI agent or from your terminal. All three reach the same Projects, under the same roles and grants.
cloudgate CLI on npm: cloudgate deploy uploads the current folder, skipping .env and what .gitignore lists. Then status, logs and vars set. The Cloudgate CLI.cloudgate.yaml describes a Project's Services, kept in your repository or in Cloudgate. A change shows as a Plan of what it would create, change or destroy, and nothing happens until you Apply it.On a Server you own, on a Server you buy from us, or in your own AWS or Google Cloud account. Each Environment picks one, so staging and production can live in different places.
Any Ubuntu machine Cloudgate reaches over SSH, or the machine Cloudgate itself runs on. A Setup run installs Docker Swarm and Traefik, and Domains get Let's Encrypt certificates.
Bought Server. On the Hosted instance, buy one in the console: pick a location on a world map and a size, add backups or extra storage from 10 GB to 10 TB. It is billed monthly in advance on the same invoice, at the price shown before you buy.
Cloud resources are made with OpenTofu in your own account. Cloudgate keeps the infrastructure state and shows drift, the changes someone made by hand in the cloud's console. Prefer to run Cloudgate itself on your own machine? Read about self-hosting Cloudgate.
Builds, databases, domains, backups, monitoring and access, the same wherever the Service runs.
With Nixpacks by default, which works out how to build most apps on its own. Pick another builder when your project needs it.
Applications, databases, Compose stacks and AI models, each a Service in an Environment of a Project.
PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, Redis and libSQL, managed next to your apps, or a database you already have.
DATABASE_URL: pg-1.url, filled in at deploy and never saved.Yes. An AI model is a Service that serves one model with Ollama, vLLM or llama.cpp, on your own Server, optionally reserving whole GPUs.
Add a domain to a web Service and Cloudgate gets a Let's Encrypt certificate for it. Before that, a free sslip.io address works over plain http.
Databases and volumes are backed up to S3-compatible destinations that you choose.
A preview is a copy of an Application built from a branch, with its own address. A rollback returns a Service to an earlier Deployment.
Servers, Services and the requests reaching them, with incidents opened when something crosses a line you set.
Send incidents and other notifications to the places your team already reads.
Environment variables live per Project, Environment and Service. Secrets are encrypted at rest and never shown back.
cloudgate vars set KEY asks for the value without echoing it.An Organization has members with roles, and grants decide which Projects, Environments and Services each one reaches.
Most of Cloudgate is in every plan. A few features for larger companies are in the Business plan, or an Enterprise license when you self-host.
No. It is source-available under the Elastic License 2.0: free to use, self-host and modify, but you may not offer it to others as a hosted service. See self-hosting Cloudgate.
Yes. Connect a Cloud account and an Environment deploys there: on AWS to ECS (Fargate), RDS, ElastiCache, S3 and CloudFront; on Google Cloud to Cloud Run, Cloud SQL and Memorystore. Cloudgate makes them with OpenTofu and shows drift.
GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Gitea, or any git URL, with push-to-deploy through webhooks. A Service can also run a Docker image or uploaded files.
Yes. Backups of databases and volumes go to an S3-compatible destination you choose.
Yes. An Agent connects over MCP with its own key, role and grant. It can deploy, open previews and read logs and health, and every call is in the audit log. See Cloudgate for AI agents.
On the Hosted instance every plan includes deploys, databases, domains, backups, previews, monitoring and Agents. SSO, SCIM, custom roles and forward auth are in the Business plan. See Cloudgate pricing.
Every plan starts with a 30-day free trial. Bring a server, buy one from us, or connect AWS or Google Cloud.
