Deploy any application to any server.
We built Cycle to provide a single, unified control plane to deploy containers, virtual machines, and serverless functions side-by-side, regardless of the underlying cloud provider or geographic location.
Host a variety of workloads.
From microservices to fully virtualized hosts, Cycle natively supports the deployment of containers, functions, and virtual machines. Deploy with a cloud-like experience, but on infrastructure you own.
Containers
Connect to any registry to deploy your OCI-compliant containers, or build directly on our platform. Cycle is designed to effortlessly manage both massive scale for stateless applications and the complexity of stateful databases.
- OCI-Compliant Container
- Support for Stateless & Stateful
- Horizontal Auto-Scaling
Virtual Machines
When containers aren't enough, spin up full Virtual Machines backed by KVM. Support for standard ISOs and full cloud-init integration to boot pre-configured images effortlessly.
- Cloud-Init Enabled
- KVM Virtualization
- Transparent Networking with Containers
Functions
Execute short-lived, event-driven tasks without the constraints of public cloud vendors. Bring the agility of batch processing and scheduled functions directly to your own infrastructure.
- Trigger via API/HTTP Requests and Pipeline Runs
- Cron Scheduling
Build multi-tenant platforms that span regions and providers.
Whether you're deploying a basic application or architecting a multi-tenant platform, Cycle environments provide the network and service isolation required.
- Create environments to generate private, encrypted networks that isolate applications and tenants from other environments.
- Utilize environment services, like Load Balancers & Discovery, to establish a cloud-like experience on any infrastructure.
Secure and streamline configuration management.
Simplify how you handle sensitive data. We built a secure, centralized vault for your variables, encrypted secrets, and raw configuration files. By injecting them dynamically at runtime, we make sure your API keys stay out of your repos and you never have to rebuild containers for minor updates.
Variables & Secrets
Separate your sensitive data from your codebase entirely. We handle encryption at rest and inject your credentials right as your containers spin up, keeping your environments secure and your images untouched.
- Encrypted at Rest
- Injected at Runtime
Dynamic File Mounts
Decouple your configuration files from your builds. Cycle lets you upload raw files directly and mount them dynamically at runtime, so you can swap out certificates or configurations without ever having to rebuild a container.
- Raw Blobs
- Config Management
Streamlined variable inheritance.
Keep your configuration clean and organized. We use a hierarchical variable system so you can set global defaults once, and selectively override them as you move closer to production.
- Default to base configurations tied directly to the container image.
- Share connection strings and credentials across related workloads at the environment level.
- Override specific values for individual instances directly at the container level.
Simplify complex deployments, with zero downtime.
Cycle utilizes pipelines and rainbow deployments to spin up new containers, verify healthchecks, and shift traffic. Since Cycle keeps the previous version running until it's no longer needed, rollbacks are as simple as new deployments.
- Trigger deployments using the API, portal, or an existing CI/CD workflow.
- Route traffic between different application versions using self-updating Linked records.
