Appentic Documentation
Run web services, databases, workers and cron jobs from GitHub, on machines dedicated to your project.
Appentic runs your app on machines dedicated to your project. You connect a GitHub repository, choose a machine, and add the services your app needs: web services, workers, cron jobs, Postgres databases, key value stores and storage. The services share the machine's memory, CPU and disk. You pay each machine's monthly price plus a small monthly fee per service, and you can add machines in other locations as your app grows.
If you are new to Appentic, read the Introduction, then follow the Quickstart to deploy your first web service.

Storage
A private S3-compatible bucket for files and uploads.
Volumes

Load balancers
One address over several web services, on one machine or across geos.
