# Light Cloud

> Light Cloud is a deployment platform for web apps. Push to Git and get a live URL. It hosts static sites on a global CDN, containers on Cloud Run, and managed Postgres, gives every branch its own preview environment, and lets you deploy from Claude or GitHub Copilot. Usage-based hourly billing scales to zero when an app is idle. Labs is the open-source side, home to ICE, a visual editor for cloud infrastructure.

Connect a GitHub repository and every push builds and deploys on its own. Light Cloud reads the repo, picks a static or container build, and rolls it out with build logs, deploy history, and rollbacks. Frontend, backend, and database live in one project: managed PostgreSQL is provisioned next to your app, custom domains get automatic SSL, and logs and metrics sit next to the environment they belong to. The platform runs on Google Cloud (Cloud Run, Cloud Build) with a Cloudflare CDN. Start on a 30-day free trial.

Labs is where Light Cloud publishes its open-source work. ICE (Integrated Cloud Environment) is a visual editor for cloud infrastructure: drag provider-neutral blocks onto a canvas, connect them, preview the cost, and deploy to your own cloud accounts on GCP, AWS, or Azure. ICE, its blocks, and its templates are Apache 2.0, with no telemetry and no license keys.
