✨ What is Skyversal?
📖 In this guide
- ✓ You will learn what Skyversal is.
- ✓ You will understand how the platform works.
- ✓ You will see what you need to know before your first deploy.
It is a fully managed PaaS platform that handles server management, deployment processes, and infrastructure operations on your behalf, so you can focus solely on developing your applications.
In traditional web hosting systems, configuring your rented server, setting up the web server (Nginx/Apache), configuring SSL certificates, writing CI/CD pipelines, and ensuring security can take days. Skyversal reduces this process to seconds. You just write your code; Skyversal compiles, optimizes, installs dependencies, and deploys your code with zero downtime.
Whether it is a simple static site, small personal projects, or growing SaaS apps; thanks to Skyversal's flexible and scalable infrastructure, your application always stays fast, secure, and online. This allows you to scale easily as your traffic grows, without ever thinking about hardware or server administration.
🚀 Why Choose Skyversal?
With hundreds of different hosting and cloud providers available, why should you choose Skyversal? Here are the main advantages our platform provides:
1. Zero Configuration
Regardless of your project's language or framework (Node.js, PHP, Python, Go, Rust...), Skyversal automatically sets up the infrastructure for you.
2. Zero-Downtime Deployments
Your site never goes offline when you push a new update. The new version is prepared in the background and traffic is routed only if it is fully operational.
3. Automated CI/CD Process
Connect your GitHub repository. With every push to your code, Skyversal detects the new version and automatically builds it.
4. Multiple Data Centers
Thanks to our data centers in different geographies, you can host your application in the region closest to your target audience.
5. One-Click Databases
You can attach Addons like PostgreSQL, MySQL, or Redis to your project instantly via the interface, without setting up a server.
6. Auto SSL and Security
Let's Encrypt SSL certificates are automatically generated and renewed for all custom domains you add.
🏗️ How Does Skyversal Work?
The system behind Skyversal transforms complex deployment processes into a simple cycle for you. The deployment of your application is based on 4 basic steps:
-
1Code: You push your code to GitHub or upload it to the panel as a ZIP file. You can also select ready-made Marketplace templates.
-
2Analyze: Our platform scans your project and automatically detects dependencies and execution requirements. The required language environment is prepared.
-
3Build: Your code is compiled in a secure and isolated container. All dependencies are installed and the application is ready to run.
-
4Deploy: Once health checks are successfully completed, the application is instantly accessible over our global network.
🛡️ Managed Infrastructure
You don't need to deal with setting up servers, configuring Nginx, installing SSL certificates, or security updates.
The platform prepares the environment for your application to run, installs dependencies, performs the build process, and securely deploys your app. Moreover, SSL certificates, basic security configurations, log management, and deployment processes are automatically managed by Skyversal. You can dedicate your time to developing your product, not to the infrastructure.
⚡ What Happens in the First Deploy?
After signing up, you will start your first deploy by clicking the "Add New Project" button from your dashboard. During this process, you will be asked to choose your project's source (GitHub or ZIP) and the Region (e.g., Germany or Turkey). At this stage, Skyversal will compile your application and present you with a deploy log.
When the build is successfully completed, an instantly usable, free .skyversal.com subdomain is created for your application. This way, you can start testing your code online immediately.
💰 Are There Any Fees?
Skyversal offers scalable plans (Starter, Pro, Business) for developers and companies of all levels. Creating an account is free, but the number of projects you can create, system resources (RAM, CPU, Disk), and addons (database, etc.) are determined by your chosen subscription package. You can switch between plans at any time. Within your limits, you can push unlimited code updates and publish your project instantly.
Next Step
Now that you have created your account, you are ready to publish your first application. You can learn step-by-step how to deploy your project by moving on to the First Deploy guide.
