Can I create an application from a Dockerfile?

Yes. Build the image through Custom Docker Images, then choose the finished image when creating your application.

A template is code built by the Shard Cloud team, 100% adapted to run on the platform and ready to deploy in a few clicks — including tools like n8n, WordPress, Open Claw, and others.

What happens if my application crashes?

Auto Restart automatically restarts your application after a crash, helping keep downtime to a minimum.

Where can I monitor my application?

Use the application dashboard for live logs, CPU, memory, network, HTTP metrics, deploy history, and crash or restart snapshots.

Which languages and runtimes can I deploy?

Node.js, Python, Go, Java, PHP, C#, Ruby, Elixir, and static HTML — each with multiple supported versions. Supported versions update frequently, so check the documentation for the current list rather than a fixed version number here.

Can I configure environment variables for my app?

Yes. Configure multiple environment variables per application directly from its dashboard.

How many custom domains can I connect to an app?

More than one — an app isn't limited to a single custom domain, you can connect multiple. Custom domains are available starting on the Core plan.

All resources

Applications

Deploy production-ready applications without assembling the platform around them

Run SaaS applications, web apps, and APIs in production-optimized containers, deploy from GitHub or a ZIP or RAR archive, and operate each release with custom domains, recovery, metrics, and logs.

Everything an application needs from its first deploy

Keep the build, release, recovery, and observability flow close to the application instead of coordinating separate services.

Explore capabilities

Deploy from GitHub or an archive

Connect GitHub for automatic builds and deploy history, or upload a ZIP or RAR file for a simpler workflow.

Recover from failures

Health monitoring restarts crashed processes, memory-limit failures, and failed health checks, with a circuit breaker after repeated attempts.

Operate with context

Follow real-time CPU, memory, network, HTTP, and log data, including crash and restart snapshots.

Built to operate

Production tooling for the application lifecycle.

Deploy from GitHub or a ZIP or RAR archive in a hardened environment, then monitor and evolve the application from the same platform.

Production-optimized containers

Use minimal base images, multi-stage builds, security hardening, performance tuning, and configurable CPU and memory limits.

Nine supported runtimes

Deploy Node, Python, Go, C#, Ruby, Elixir, static HTML with nginx, PHP, or Java with language-aware configuration.

GitHub and archive deployment

Connect a repository for automatic builds, deploy history, and webhooks, or upload ZIP and RAR files for simpler releases.

Automatic recovery

Continuous health monitoring retries failed applications and stops after the retry limit to prevent wasted resources.

Real-time logs and metrics

Inspect resource and HTTP metrics, live logs, and preserved crash or restart logs without SSH.

Start from a template

Start with a template, then make it yours.

Use curated templates to begin with a practical foundation, then tailor the application before deploying it.

Browse curated templates

Choose a preconfigured starting point for the application you want to build.

Preview and clone

Review the template, then clone it to download its linked repository configuration and open the application setup flow. After you configure it and create the application, it deploys and opens in the dashboard.

Customize before deploying

Adjust recommended runtime settings and environment variables. When a template includes a database, configure it as part of the setup.

Browse templates

Supported runtimes

Choose the runtime or container that fits your project.

Deploy web applications, APIs, workers, static sites, or a custom Docker image with production-optimized support for every listed runtime.

Progressive setup

Start in minutes. Go deeper when needed.

Every application receives a free *.shardweb.app subdomain with SSL as soon as it is created, and you can connect your own custom domains.

Get started

01

Connect your source

Choose a supported runtime, then connect GitHub or upload a ZIP or RAR archive.

02

Deploy the application

The platform builds the project, manages supported dependencies, publishes its free SSL subdomain, and lets you connect a custom domain.

03

Operate with confidence

Use live logs, metrics, deploy history, and automatic recovery as your application evolves.

From connection to the first decision, in one flow.
