Deploy Your Application — CreateOS
Go from code to production in under 10 minutes. CreateOS supports three deployment methods — GitHub repository import, Docker container deployment, and direct file upload — each with automatic SSL, CDN, load balancing, and auto-scaling built in. Zero DevOps knowledge required. Whether you are shipping a Next.js frontend, a Python API, or a full-stack monorepo, CreateOS detects your framework and applies the optimal build pipeline automatically.
Deployment Methods
- GitHub Import — Connect your repository for automatic CI/CD. Every push triggers a new build and deployment. Supports Next.js, React, Vue, Svelte, Node.js, Python, Go, Rust, and more. Branch previews let you test changes before merging.
- Docker Image — Deploy any containerized application directly from Docker Hub, GitHub Container Registry, or any private registry. Full control over environment, ports, volumes, and resource allocation.
- File Upload — Upload your application files directly as a ZIP archive. Perfect for static sites, single-page apps, and simple projects that do not need a CI/CD pipeline.
Built-in Infrastructure
Every deployment includes automatic SSL certificates via Let's Encrypt, global CDN distribution, load balancing, health checks, and zero-downtime rollouts with automatic rollbacks on failure. Add managed databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL), message queues (Apache Kafka), and in-memory caching (Valkey) with one click. Monitor build logs, runtime logs, and deployment status in real time from the dashboard.
Supported Frameworks
Next.js (App Router, Server Components, ISR), React (SPA, Vite), Vue.js (Vue 3, Nuxt 3), Svelte and SvelteKit, Angular 17+, Vite, Node.js (Express, Fastify, Nest.js), Python 3.12 (Flask, Django, FastAPI), Go 1.25 (Gin, Echo, Fiber), Rust (Actix-web, Axum, Rocket), Bun, static HTML/CSS/JS, and any Dockerfile-based application.
Why Developers Choose CreateOS for Deployment
Traditional deployment requires configuring CI/CD pipelines, managing Kubernetes manifests, provisioning SSL, setting up CDN, and monitoring infrastructure — a process that takes hours and deep DevOps knowledge. CreateOS reduces this to a single step. Connect your code, and the platform handles everything from build optimization to production scaling. The average deployment time from code push to live URL is under 10 minutes, compared to the industry average of 7.8 hours.
