Introducing Cloud: Ship Code and Let Us Run It, Close to Your Users

Today we are launching Digitel Africa Cloud, the simplest way to run web apps and APIs close to your African users without managing a single server. You push code, we build it, run it, terminate TLS, and scale it. That is the whole idea.

We built this because we kept watching capable teams lose days to the plumbing between "the code works on my laptop" and "the code is serving customers in Lagos and Nairobi". Cloud collapses that gap into a git push.

What you get out of the box

• Deploy straight from git, with automatic builds for Node, Python, Go, Ruby and Docker.
• Managed SSL and custom domains, issued and renewed for you.
• Autoscaling that follows your traffic, and scale-to-zero for staging.
• A one-click bind to Managed PostgreSQL with the connection string injected as a secret.

Deploying is deliberately boring. Point the CLI at your repo, pick a region, and go.

digitel apps create shop --region jhb
git push digitel main

# bind a managed database and set an env var
digitel db attach shop --plan pg-small
digitel env set shop LOG_LEVEL=info

Under the hood every deploy is a fresh, immutable build, so rollbacks are instant and there is no drift between what you tested and what is running. Health checks gate the cut-over, so a bad build never takes the old one down with it.

The best infrastructure is the kind you stop thinking about. Cloud is us doing the boring, load-bearing work so your team can ship product.
