App Platform
Deploy containers from Git repositories or Docker images. Auto-builds, custom domains, TLS, and scale-to-zero.
Best for: web apps, APIs, microservices, and any containerized workload
What this is
App Platform deploys containerized applications from Git repositories or Docker images. Push code to your repository, and the platform builds, deploys, and serves your application with automatic HTTPS and custom domain support.
Each app runs in its own isolated container. The platform handles TLS certificates, load balancing, and scaling — including scale-to-zero for apps with no traffic.
This is not a virtual machine. For full server control, use VPS. For managed databases, use Databases.
When to use it
Use this when
- You want to deploy a web app or API without managing servers
- You use Git-based workflows and want push-to-deploy
- You need automatic HTTPS and custom domains
- You want scale-to-zero to reduce costs during idle periods
- You deploy containerized applications (Docker)
Consider something else when
- You need full OS-level control → VPS
- You need GPU compute → GPU Studio
- You need a static website with email → Shared Hosting
What you get
- Container: isolated runtime with configurable CPU and memory
- Domain: custom domain with automatic TLS, or default
{slug}.apps.wayscloud.services - Build: automatic builds from Git push (BuildKit)
- Deploy: zero-downtime rolling deploys
- Scale: auto-scale based on traffic, including scale-to-zero
- Logs: real-time build and runtime logs in dashboard
- Environment: configurable environment variables
- Billing: base plan + compute usage

How it works
- Connect your Git repository or specify a Docker image
- Configure build settings (Dockerfile path, build args)
- Set environment variables
- The platform builds and deploys your container
- Your app is live at
{slug}.apps.wayscloud.services - Add a custom domain and TLS is provisioned automatically
What you see in the dashboard
- App list: name, status (running/deploying/stopped), domain, last deploy time
- Deploy history: each deployment with build logs and status
- Metrics: CPU usage, memory, request count, response times
- Domains: custom domains with TLS status
- Environment: environment variables (values hidden by default)
- Logs: real-time build output and runtime logs
- Actions: redeploy, scale, restart, rollback, delete
Fastest way to get started
Dashboard
- Open my.wayscloud.services → Compute → App Platform
- Click Create App
- Connect your Git repository or enter a Docker image URL
- Configure build settings and environment variables
- Click Deploy
Example request and response
App Platform is managed through the dashboard. There is no public REST API for app management at this time.
All deployment, scaling, and configuration is done through the dashboard.
Common use cases
- Web application — deploy Node.js, Python, Go, or Ruby web apps
- REST API — host API backends with auto-scaling
- Microservices — deploy multiple services with custom domains
- Preview environments — deploy branches for review before merging
- Internal tools — host admin panels and dashboards
- Cron jobs — run scheduled tasks in containers
