Deploying web applications typically requires writing Dockerfiles, configuring CI/CD pipelines, and handling failed deployments manually. These tasks distract developers from building features. Instant Deploy eliminates this complexity; just provide a Git repository URL, and we handle the rest.
What is FluxCloud Instant Deploy?
Instant Deployment is a user-friendly feature for FluxCloud that enables devs and builders to launch web apps and APIs directly from Git repositories, without Docker expertise, eliminating the need to write confusing Dockerfiles or tediously configure webhooks for manual migration.
Instant Deploy automatically detects an application framework, constructs the app logic, deploys it across multiple servers for high availability and redundancy, and pushes updates with safe rollbacks in case of problematic releases. Instant Deploy is compatible with 100+ frameworks and libraries for both frontends and backends in runtimes for Node.js, Python, Rust, Go, Java, .NET Core, Bun, Ruby, and PHP.
How Does it Work?
Instant Deploy makes building and launching apps on FluxCloud seamless, enabling deployments in as little as three clicks: just paste a GitHub URL, customize and set a port, and hit launch.
Application updates from Git repositories are automatically deployed to the server and monitored, so users never have to worry about new features being pushed. Additionally, in the event of a rollout error or update failure, Instant Deploy features automatic rollbacks, ensuring redundancy and reliability.
FluxCloud Instant Deploy Features
- Framework Detection and Tool Integration: No need for Docker knowledge. Instant Deploy enables hands-free deployment across any application framework, whether backend or frontend. Instant Deploy detects an app’s framework without manual entry and automatically installs the correct associated tools (Node, Python, Ruby, Rust, etc.) for configuration.
- Monorepo Deployment: A monorepo is a single Git repository that contains multiple applications. Instant Deploy enables the deployment of subdirectories from a monorepo, allowing users to build and release an individual folder within a single repository instead of releasing the entire repository.
- No Effort Continuous Integrations & Deployments (CI/CD): Instant Deploy automatically builds, implements, and performs health checks on application code without requiring exhaustive user intervention. Instant Deploy leverages deployment hooks (programmable insertion points in an app’s codebase that automatically execute defined actions during a deployment process) to automate database changes or schema updates, migrations, and cache warmups.
- Error Recovery: Instant Deploy enables state backups with real-time monitoring, so that when a deployment fails, it automatically rolls back the app’s state to a previous version. Additionally, Instant Deploy offers unlimited restarts for runtime crashes, which supervisors handle.
- Production Capabilities: Instant Deploy runs clustered app deployments across three or more servers for guaranteed uptime and redundancy. If one server goes down, the app remains live because a new server automatically installs and runs it, ensuring 99.99% uptime. Additionally, Instant Deploy supports private Git repositories.
Conclusion
Instant Deploy mitigates deployment friction by removing confusing production processes and eliminating the need for prior Docker knowledge. By automating framework detection, environment structuring, repository communication, and deployment configurations, Instant Deploy lets developers focus on building and shipping new features instead of wrestling with Dockerfiles and manual setups.
Whether launching a simple static web app or a complex multi-service backend, Instant Deploy delivers a resilient, streamlined deployment engine for FluxCloud.
