# Technical Details

> Technical specifications and architecture details of the RepoCloud platform

## Infrastructure Overview

RepoCloud is built on a modern, scalable infrastructure designed to provide reliable and efficient application hosting. Our architecture allows for rapid deployment, seamless scaling, and simplified management of containerized applications.

### Deployment Architecture

<Note>
  RepoCloud uses containerized applications with an orchestration layer, networking stack, storage system, management API, and monitoring system to provide a complete application hosting platform.
</Note>

Our platform is designed with these key components:

* **Container Runtime**: Applications run in isolated Docker containers
* **Orchestration Layer**: Manages container deployment, scaling, and lifecycle
* **Networking Stack**: Handles traffic routing, load balancing, and SSL/TLS termination
* **Storage System**: Provides persistent storage for application data
* **Management API**: Powers the dashboard and enables programmatic control
* **Monitoring System**: Tracks application health and resource usage

## Technical Specifications

### Compute Resources

RepoCloud offers flexible compute resources to accommodate various application needs:

| Tier | RAM   | vCPU | SSD Storage | Price (Monthly) |
| ---- | ----- | ---- | ----------- | --------------- |
| 1    | 1 GB  | 1    | 20 GB       | \$3.00          |
| 2    | 2 GB  | 1    | 50 GB       | \$6.00          |
| 3    | 2 GB  | 2    | 60 GB       | \$9.00          |
| 4    | 4 GB  | 2    | 80 GB       | \$12.00         |
| 5    | 8 GB  | 4    | 160 GB      | \$24.00         |
| 6    | 16 GB | 8    | 240 GB      | \$48.00         |
| 7    | 32 GB | 16   | 360 GB      | \$96.00         |

All compute resources feature:

* Intel vCPU processors
* NVMe SSD storage
* DDR4 ECC RAM
* 1 Gbps network connectivity

### Networking Capabilities

Our networking infrastructure provides:

* **Automatic SSL**: Free SSL certificates for all applications
* **Custom Domains**: Support for your own domain names
* **DDoS Protection**: Basic protection against common attacks
* **Shared IP**: Applications share IP addresses for efficient resource utilization

<Note>
  RepoCloud uses shared hosting without dedicated IPv4 addresses for regular applications. For workloads requiring dedicated IPs or root access, consider our platform apps like Coolify or Dokploy.
</Note>

### Storage Architecture

Storage on RepoCloud is designed for performance and reliability:

* **Persistent Storage**: Data persists across container restarts and updates
* **Performance Optimization**: NVMe SSDs for high I/O performance
* **Scalability**: Storage can be expanded as needed
* **Backup System**: Application-specific backup mechanisms

## Technical Limitations

While RepoCloud offers substantial flexibility, there are some technical limitations to be aware of:

1. **No SSH/Console Access**: Users interact with instances through the GUI only; terminal access is not provided for regular applications
2. **No Dedicated IPv4**: Applications use shared IP addresses by default
3. **Container Restrictions**: Applications run as containers, not VMs, which limits certain types of customization
4. **Resource Limits**: Each tier has defined resource limits that cannot be exceeded without upgrading

For use cases requiring greater control, our [platform apps](/platforms/introduction) (Coolify and Dokploy) provide enhanced capabilities including:

* Dedicated IPv4 addresses
* Full root access
* CI/CD integration
* Heroku/Vercel/Netlify-like interfaces

## Application Updates and Management

RepoCloud ensures your applications stay up-to-date and secure:

* **Automatic Template Updates**: Application templates are regularly updated with the latest stable versions
* **One-Click Rebuilds**: Update your instance to the latest version with a single click
* **Configuration Persistence**: Application data and configurations persist across updates
* **Environment Variable Management**: Easily modify application settings through environment variables

## Data Management

Each application on RepoCloud has its own mechanisms for data management:

* **Application-Specific Migrations**: For example, WordPress uses plugins for migrations
* **Built-in Backup Tools**: Many applications include their own backup functionality
* **Data Persistence**: Application data is stored in persistent volumes
