​
Platform Architecture

RepoCloud simplifies the deployment and management of open-source applications through a streamlined architecture designed for performance, reliability, and ease of use.

​
Container-Based Deployments

All applications on RepoCloud are deployed as containerized instances, which provides several benefits:

Isolation

Each application runs in its own isolated environment for enhanced security

Resource Efficiency

Containers share system resources efficiently while maintaining separation

Consistent Environments

Applications run in identical environments across development and production

Fast Deployment

Containers can be deployed and scaled in seconds rather than minutes

​
Managed Infrastructure

RepoCloud handles the underlying infrastructure so you don’t have to:
  • Maintained templates: Application templates are kept up to date, and you apply updates to your instance with a one-click rebuild
  • Resource management: With autoscaling enabled, CPU, RAM, and storage are allocated dynamically based on your needs
  • High availability: Infrastructure is designed for redundancy and reliability, with a public status page tracking all server clusters
  • Network optimization: 1 Gbps connections with automatic SSL for every application

​
Deployment Workflow

1

Application Selection

Browse our catalog of over 270 pre-configured applications and select the one you want to deploy.
2

Configuration

Name your project, choose autoscaling or a fixed server size, and fill in any application-specific settings (such as admin credentials). Most applications have sensible defaults that work out of the box.
3

Deployment

RepoCloud automatically provisions the necessary infrastructure, deploys your application container, and configures networking and storage. Your app receives its own HTTPS URL on an auto-generated subdomain (in the format https://<your-app-id>.<hosting-domain>).
4

Management

Once deployed, you can manage your application through our intuitive dashboard: view logs, edit environment variables, add custom domains, track resource usage, rebuild to update, and pause or delete the instance.

​
Technical Implementation

Under the hood, RepoCloud uses industry-standard technology to ensure reliable and efficient operations:
  • Docker containers: Applications are packaged as Docker containers for consistency and portability
  • Orchestration: We use advanced container orchestration to manage deployments, scaling, and availability
  • Storage solutions: Persistent data is stored on high-performance NVMe SSD storage
  • Networking layer: Custom networking stack with automatic SSL certificate management and DNS configuration
While RepoCloud abstracts away most of the technical complexity, users do not have direct terminal access (SSH/CLI) to their instances. This design choice allows us to maintain security, reliability, and simplified management.

​
Unique Features

​
Elastic Hourly Autoscaling

Our elastic hourly autoscaling feature continuously monitors your application’s resource usage and automatically adjusts resources as needed:
  • Scales up instantly when demand increases
  • Scales down when resources aren’t needed
  • Charges only for the resources you actually use
  • Provides significant cost savings compared to fixed-size instances
