How Deployments Work
Deploy any containerized app to production in minutes. Your AI coding assistant handles the complexity — you just describe what you want.
The AI-First Approach
With Nexlayer, you don't need to learn DevOps or memorize configuration syntax. Your AI coding assistant (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) works with Nexlayer to write the configuration, build your images, and deploy your app — all through natural conversation.
Deployment Flow
1. Tell your AI what you want
"Deploy this Next.js app" or "Set up a database for my project" — just describe what you need in plain English.
2. AI generates the configuration
Your assistant creates a nexlayer.yaml file that describes your deployment — services, ports, environment variables, and more.
3. Nexlayer deploys to production
Nexlayer reads your configuration, pulls your container images, and deploys everything to production-grade Kubernetes infrastructure.
4. Your app is live
You get a live URL immediately. Your AI assistant can check logs, debug issues, and push updates — all through conversation.
Preview vs Production
Preview Deployments
Quick 2-hour deployments for testing. No custom domain needed — perfect for development and sharing with teammates.
No url field = preview modeProduction Deployments
Permanent deployments with your custom domain. Auto-scaling, SSL certificates, and zero-downtime updates included.
