Full stack

Frontend, backend, and a database in one place.

Static sites go to a global CDN. Containers scale to zero when idle. Postgres sits right next to them, provisioned from the same project.

Static and containers
Ship a static site to the CDN or a container to Cloud Run. Light Cloud reads your repo and picks the target.
Managed Postgres
Provision a database with a tier, region, and storage size. Credentials are encrypted and wired to your app.
A preview per branch
Every branch and pull request gets its own URL, built on push and removed when the branch is gone.
Scale to zero
Idle containers stop billing. You pay for the time your app actually runs.

Deploy with AI

Ship straight from Claude or Copilot.

The Light Cloud MCP server lets Claude create apps, deploy, and read logs from a conversation. The VS Code extension adds @lightcloud to GitHub Copilot with /deploy, /status, and /plan. Framework detection and .env parsing happen for you.

How it works

Watch a push become a URL.

One pipeline from commit to running service. Follow a deploy through Light Cloud — no YAML, no runners to babysit.

  1. Push

    git push origin main

    Connect a repo once. Every push after that starts a build on its own.

  2. Build

    Framework detected

    Light Cloud reads the repo, picks the builder, and builds the image or static bundle.

    ▸ next build — done in 42s

  3. Deploy

    Rolled out, history kept

    The build goes to Cloud Run or the global CDN. Commit, author, and logs stay with the deploy.

  4. Live

    A URL for every branch

    Production gets the domain. Every branch and pull request gets its own preview link.

  5. Scale to zero

    Idle costs nothing

    No traffic, no instances, no bill. The next request wakes it back up.
