Light Cloud

Deploy websites, apps, containers, DBs from Git.

About Light Cloud

Light Cloud is a managed deployment platform designed for developers who want to deploy web applications directly from Git repositories without setting up CI/CD pipelines. It automatically detects frameworks and build commands, routing static sites to a global CDN and backend services to scalable containers. Managed Postgres databases can be provisioned and integrated with applications. Each branch receives a unique, password-protected preview environment, and custom domains are supported with automatic SSL. The platform offers a free Hobby plan with usage limits, and paid plans with higher allowances. Light Cloud also supports deployment via AI assistants like Claude and GitHub Copilot.

Best for: web developers, small teams, startups, indie hackers
