New to Upsun?
Get to know Upsun’s core concepts. Container-based deployments built on Git. Managed services and custom applications. Integrations, tools, and more.
Manage resources
Upsun allows you to configure resources (CPU, RAM, and disk) per environment for each of your apps and services. You can add instances of your apps depending on your needs.
Access control
Access to code, production data, and secrets can be finely tuned, managed, and audited with Organizations and Teams from the Console, CLI, or API.
Projects & Git
With a source integration, Upsun projects are a mirror of external Git repositories. Pull requests inherit production data by default – true staging environments for every revision.
Runtime languages
We support 10 popular runtimes out of the box and much more with a bit of tinkering. Whether you do 100% JS or use PHP, Java, Python, Ruby or Rust, we have you covered.
Managed services
Augment your application capabilities with our included services: Databases, caches, queues, indexes. Managed and ready to deploy.
Networking
Every project needs some hostnames and certificates. Dive into how HTTP routes are defined for your projects.
Observability
Power is nothing without control. Keep an eye on how your applications behave on our platform. Dive into code bottlenecks with ease.
API
Did you know our platform can be fully automated by our API? Integrate other tools or create your own management layer.
CLI
As a developer first product, our CLI should be your main Upsun interface. Get it setup and start deploying your projects through the terminal.
