What is Smart Deploy?
Smart Deploy is a preview-driven deployment platform for solo developers. You scan a GitHub repo, review a live blueprint of what will run, adjust configuration in context, and deploy only when the plan makes sense.
Preview the deploy. Then ship it.
The problem
Most deployment tools ask you to commit before you can see the plan.
- A PaaS moves fast, but the real deploy path stays hidden until something breaks.
- Raw cloud tooling gives control, but dumps the full surface area on you at once.
- Solo developers need a middle path: ship quickly without flying blind.
Smart Deploy is built around preview. You should know what will run, how traffic will flow, and which cloud resources are involved before you press deploy.
What you get
| Capability | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Repo scan | Detects services, frameworks, and deploy shape automatically |
| Blueprint preview | Shows build units, routing, and cloud targets before anything runs |
| Editable config | Branch, region, env vars, and subdomain from the same preview surface |
| Real cloud deploys | ECS Fargate for containers, S3 (+ optional CloudFront) for static sites |
| Live feedback | Stream deploy logs, track history, and watch health update in place |
| Deployment Agent | Ask questions about your deployments, history, and runtime health |
Who it is for
Smart Deploy targets developers who:
- Want PaaS-like speed without a black-box deploy path
- Ship from GitHub and need multi-service or monorepo support
- Prefer inspecting infrastructure before committing cloud resources
- Need structured debugging when production deploys fail
What Smart Deploy is not
- Not a generic CI runner — deploys are opinionated paths to AWS (ECS or static S3).
- Not a local dev environment — it builds and runs your app in cloud primitives.
- Not fully multi-cloud today — production deploy code targets AWS; GCP paths are not active in the current deploy handler.
