Light Cloud
Light Cloud is a platform that enables developers to deploy web applications directly from GitHub with seamless integration to GitHub Copilot and Claude. It provides a unified environment for full-stack applications, combining static site hosting, containerized backends via Cloud Run, and managed Postgres databases—all provisioned from a single project. Every GitHub branch and pull request automatically gets a preview URL, built on push and cleaned up when the branch is deleted. Idle containers scale to zero, ensuring you only pay for actual runtime. The platform supports deployment via natural language through its MCP server, allowing Claude to create apps, deploy, and read logs from conversations, and offers a VS Code extension that integrates with GitHub Copilot using slash commands like /deploy, /status, and /plan. Light Cloud includes framework detection and automatic .env parsing, reducing configuration overhead. Observability is built-in, with logs and metrics co-located with each environment. Additionally, Light Cloud Labs offers ICE, an open-source visual cloud editor for designing infrastructure on a canvas, estimating costs, and deploying to your own cloud accounts under Apache 2.0 license.
