🚀 Services and Deployment Options
Explore CloudStation's Deployment Services
A CloudStation service represents a dedicated deployment target for your application. With two distinct types of services available, you can tailor your deployments to meet your application's specific needs.
Deploying Services
You can easily connect deployment services to your GitHub repositories, and each service maintains a comprehensive log of deployment attempts, metrics, and variables. The service view offers detailed insight into deployment status, data tables (for database services), variables, and settings.
Creating a Service
Initiate a service by clicking the "Add New..." button and selecting a service type, such as deploying from GitHub, provisioning a database, utilizing a template (coming soon), or deploying a Docker image. CloudStation supports service creation at any point within your project.
Service Source
CloudStation empowers you to deploy services from various sources:
GitHub Repositories: Link services directly to GitHub repositories and branches. New code commits trigger automatic builds and deployments.
Docker Images: Seamlessly connect services to Docker images hosted on Docker Hub or GitHub Container Registry. CloudStation handles image retrieval and deployment.
Database Services
CloudStation offers database services to enhance your projects:
PostgreSQL: Provision PostgreSQL databases effortlessly.
Redis: Easily deploy Redis databases for caching and data storage.
Connecting to Your Database
CloudStation provides connection strings and project variables, enabling your applications to connect to database services. Database connection strings are accessible under the "Connect" tab in the service details view.
Managing Database Data
CloudStation's user interface streamlines database management, allowing you to inspect tables and manipulate data within your chosen database service.
Monorepos and Templates (coming soon)
Stay tuned for CloudStation's upcoming features, including monorepo support and deployment templates.
