ABOUT

What is deployment.io?

deployment.io is a deployment automation platform that uses agents to deploy applications into the customer's own AWS account, using services such as S3, ECS, CloudFront and Lambda. Unlike a conventional PaaS, it keeps the deployed infrastructure, data and cloud billing under the customer's AWS ownership. Its free self-service plan includes 10 agent tasks per month for one user, making it useful for evaluating the workflow on small projects.

COMMUNITY

From the forums

deployment.io is a newer and more specialized product, so it has far less Reddit discussion than Vercel, Netlify, or Render. Its appeal is strongest for teams that want PaaS-like deployment simplicity while retaining AWS account ownership, direct cloud billing and tighter compliance control. The trade-off is that users still need a functioning AWS account and a baseline understanding of cloud infrastructure.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What is deployment.io and how is it different from Vercel or Netlify?+

deployment.io is a deployment automation platform that runs everything inside your own AWS account. Vercel and Netlify manage the infrastructure on your behalf; deployment.io gives you a PaaS-like interface while keeping code, resources and cloud billing under your AWS ownership.

Is deployment.io free?+

The self-service plan is free and includes 10 agent tasks per month for one user. AWS infrastructure costs (EC2, S3, CloudFront, Lambda) are billed directly to your AWS account separately from the platform.

Do I need to know AWS to use deployment.io?+

You need an active, configured AWS account. The platform abstracts much of AWS complexity, but some familiarity with IAM and AWS services is useful for setting up the initial agent permissions correctly.

Does deployment.io support pull request preview environments?+

Yes. One of its primary use cases is automatically generating preview URLs per pull request inside your AWS infrastructure, similar to how Vercel or Netlify deploy previews work but using your own cloud resources.

What type of team benefits most from deployment.io?+

It is especially valuable for teams with compliance requirements or data residency constraints that cannot host code on third-party infrastructure and for startups already using AWS that want PaaS convenience without moving their infrastructure to another provider.
