You bring the image. We handle the rest.

Whether it's a Node.js API, Python microservice, Go backend or Ruby app -- if it exists as a Docker image, it runs on LAY7 cloud. No Kubernetes YAML, no cluster management, no server maintenance. You focus on your code, we take care of the infrastructure.

3 Container Types

Boot containers for setup tasks, runtime containers for persistent processes, job containers for cron jobs. Each type is independently configurable, with its own resources and commands.

Auto-Restart & Health Checks

If a container crashes, Kubernetes restarts it within seconds. Health checks monitor its status. If a node fails, containers are moved to healthy nodes. Automatically, without any action on your part.

Private Registries

Docker Hub, GitHub Container Registry, GitLab Registry or your own private registry. Store your credentials securely in the dashboard -- your images stay private.

Environment Variables & Volumes

Set environment variables in the dashboard -- securely stored, injected at startup. Persistent volumes for data that needs to survive container restarts. Everything configurable with a single click.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which container registries are supported?
Docker Hub, GitHub Container Registry (ghcr.io), GitLab Registry and any other OCI-compatible registry. You can store credentials for private registries in the dashboard.
Do I need Kubernetes knowledge?
No. The Kubernetes infrastructure is fully managed by us. You work exclusively through the dashboard. No kubectl, no YAML manifests, no cluster management.
Can I use multiple containers per deployment?
Yes. A container deployment can include boot containers (run once during deployment), runtime containers (running continuously) and job containers (on a schedule). Each container type has its own commands and resources.
How do I connect a domain?
In the dashboard, you assign domains directly to your container deployment. SSL certificates are automatically issued and renewed via Let's Encrypt.
What happens if my container crashes?
Kubernetes automatically restarts crashed containers -- usually within a few seconds. You don't need to configure anything, no supervisor, no monitoring setup.
