SwiftCloud Documentation

How each service works today, and how to drive it from the console or the command line.

Getting started

Sign in, create an organisation, add funds, and deploy your first app — in the console or from the terminal.

App Platform

Run container images with scale-to-zero, custom domains, live logs and rolling deploys.

Databases

Managed PostgreSQL and MariaDB: credentials, start/stop, daily backups and point-in-time restore.

Object storage

S3-compatible buckets in Lusaka. Works with the AWS CLI, rclone, any SDK — and the cloud CLI.

Virtual machines

Ubuntu VMs on a private network per organisation, with a web console and optional public ports.

Domains & DNS

Host a zone on our nameservers and manage its records; point domains at apps.

Billing

Prepaid, hourly, in Kwacha. Mobile money and card top-ups, coupons, and what happens at zero.

Account & access

Passwordless sign-in, organisations and roles, and API tokens for scripts.

CLI

Install the cloud command, sign in, and every command with its flags and exit codes.
