Start on one machine. Grow when you need to.

Ployz is built for operators who want one model across cloud and self-hosting without jumping straight into Kubernetes.

Use Ployz Cloud
Good fit if you want the workflow fast: GitHub sign-in, projects, environments, and hosted billing.

1. Sign in with GitHub

2. Create an organization, project, and environment

3. Add a service from GitHub or a container image

4. Deploy now and add servers later if you need them

Start in cloud
Self-host the runtime
Good fit if you want the runtime on your own infrastructure and care about how workloads move between machines.

1. Provision a Linux server

2. Install the runtime and start a mesh

3. Add more machines over SSH when you need them

4. Preview and apply deploys with the CLI

Runtime quickstart

What Ployz actually gives you

The strongest part of the product is the operating model, not just the setup automation.

One machine to fleet
Start small. Add more machines only when you need the capacity.
Preview then apply
The runtime supports a real preview and apply workflow instead of vague deploy magic.
Replace weak servers
Move workloads onto better hardware without turning it into a special migration project.
Review before deploy
Stage changes, inspect diffs, then deploy when you are ready instead of shipping blind edits.
Built-in operational basics
Backups, scheduled jobs, branch deploys, and private service networking belong in the platform, not in extra glue code.
