What Light Cloud is and what you can deploy.

Introduction

Light Cloud is a deployment platform for web apps. Connect a GitHub repository, push, and get a live URL. It runs static sites, containers, and managed PostgreSQL on one platform.

What you can deploy

  • Static sites served from a global CDN. React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, plain HTML, and Next.js static export.
  • Containers on Cloud Run. Next.js with server-side rendering, Node, Python, Go, Java, Ruby, PHP, .NET, or your own Dockerfile.
  • Managed PostgreSQL provisioned next to your app.

How it works

  1. Connect a GitHub repository.
  2. Light Cloud detects the framework and the build.
  3. Every push builds the commit and deploys it.
  4. Static assets go to the CDN, containers run on Cloud Run.
  5. You get a live URL, plus logs and metrics.

Three ways to deploy

  • From GitHub. Connect a repo and every push ships.
  • From your AI. Deploy from Claude with the MCP server, or from GitHub Copilot with the VS Code extension. See Deploy with AI.
  • From a local folder. Upload a project without a Git repository.
