Cloud runs each application as an independent Bun service.
The gateway is the only public entry point. Applications, Postgres, Valkey, and supporting services share a private network.
For a third-party app, the normal unit of ownership is its own repository, version, image, and release cycle. The public application contract is the same inside the Cloud monorepo, but repository scripts and workspace aliases are not part of that contract.
Choose the development shape
| Shape | Use it when |
|---|---|
| Standalone development | Your application consumes the published package |
| Monorepo development | You maintain Cloud itself or a built-in application |
Both shapes use the same application contract. They differ in dependency and container ownership.
Deployment workflow
- Choose apps and their deployment requirements.
- Build the application.
- Set infrastructure configuration.
- Configure application values through Settings.
- Scale and stop services safely.
- Use Observability for health and failure.
- Use Troubleshooting when the registry, gateway, or dependencies disagree.
FreeIPA is optional. See FreeIPA only when the deployment uses it.
