Cloud
Deploy code to real Kubernetes from your repo with a single click — apps, databases, preview environments, observability. Forge-native.
ProxifAI Cloud is the runtime tier of the platform. It takes a repo and turns it into a running app on real Kubernetes, with sane defaults for the 90% case and full K8s manifests underneath when you need them.
What you get out of the box
- Push-to-deploy from the forge. Click “Deploy” on any repo, review the auto-generated
k8s/Kustomize tree, merge the PR — your app is live in ~30 seconds athttps://<app>.<owner>.proxifai.appwith TLS. - Preview environments per PR. Every open PR gets its own ephemeral env at
https://pr-<N>-<repo>.<owner>.proxifai.appwith a clone of the production database (when configured). Tears down on PR close. - Edit → PR. Every UI mutation — scale a service, add a domain, rotate a secret — opens a Kustomize patch as a forge PR. The repo is the source of truth.
- Real Kubernetes when you need it. vClusters available as a Tier-3 escape hatch with kubectl, Helm, CRDs. Apps you’ve already deployed continue to work.
- Managed databases. PostgreSQL via CloudNativePG, with backups, query runner, schema browser, and per-PR DB cloning.
How it differs from a typical PaaS
| ProxifAI Cloud | Generic PaaS | |
|---|---|---|
| Where deploy config lives | Standard K8s manifests in your repo | Proprietary YAML |
| Edits | UI generates Kustomize patches via PR | UI mutates server-side state |
| Power-user escape | kubectl + Helm + CRDs | None |
| Forge integration | First-class (issues/PRs/agents) | None or weak |
| Preview environments | Per-PR with optional DB cloning | Per-PR (some) |
