Defang Product Information

Defang is an AI-enabled deployment tool designed to simplify and secure the process of deploying applications to any cloud or environment. It turns Docker Compose projects into live deployments with a single command, automates failure detection and fixes suggestions through an AI agent, and supports a wide range of languages, frameworks, and cloud providers. The platform emphasizes speed, security, cost-efficiency, and scalability, making cloud deployments accessible for developers from hobby projects to production-grade apps.

How Defang Works

  1. Start your deployment your way: Choose a sample, start from scratch, or deploy your own app.
  2. Deploy with one-click: Turn any Compose-compatible project into a live deployment with a single command.
  3. AI-assisted debugging: The built-in AI agent automatically detects failures and proposes actionable fixes.
  4. Flexible environments: Deploy to development, staging, or production, and target multiple clouds (AWS, GCP, DigitalOcean, etc.).

What You Can Deploy

  • Any app that runs with Docker Compose
  • Static sites, backends, microservices, and complex architectures
  • Projects across different languages and frameworks
  • Cloud deployments across AWS, GCP, DigitalOcean, and more (Defang Playground available for learning)

How It Helps

  • Simple deployment workflow that reduces time-to-live for apps
  • Automatic failure detection and actionable remediation guidance
  • Production-ready defaults with secure-by-default networking, security groups, and roles
  • Cost-efficient infrastructure through smart resource allocation, spot instances, and scalable patterns
  • Load balancing, auto-scaling, and optional GPU support to grow with demand
