AI app deployment

Stackap lets a coding agent take an app from a repository to a live HTTPS domain with a handful of commands, without a person clicking through hosting dashboards.

The situation

Coding agents have made writing an application fast. The slow part has moved to everything after the code: creating accounts at several providers, copying keys between them, pointing domains, and diagnosing a failed deploy from screenshots and pasted logs.

That is the gap this page is about. The agent can write the app and then has to stop and ask a person to go and configure something. Each of those stops is a place where the work goes back to a human for a reason that has nothing to do with judgment.

What Stackap gives you here

• A command-line tool and an HTTP API for every operation in the loop: create a project, set variables, deploy, read logs, add a domain, roll back.
• Secrets passed on standard input, so an agent never has to put one on a command line or in a transcript.
• Build and runtime logs readable by the same tool, so the agent inspects a failure instead of asking you to describe it.
• Health-checked deploys that cannot take a working site down, which makes it safer to let an agent deploy without supervision.
• A site summary in plain text at /llms.txt, generated from the same pages people read.

How it looks in practice

The whole path, once a Stackap server and token exist, is short. The agent logs in, creates the project, sets variables, deploys and reads the build log. If the build fails, the log says why, and the agent changes the code and deploys again. Attaching a real domain adds one step that is not automated: a DNS record, which a person or an agent with DNS access creates at the DNS provider.

What a person still decides is what the agent should not decide alone: whether to deploy to production, which domain to use, whether a rollback is warranted, and when to approve anything destructive.

$ stackap create my-app --name "My App"
$ stackap env set my-app DATABASE_URL --stdin
$ stackap deploy my-app
$ stackap logs my-app --source build
$ stackap domains add my-app www.example.com

Early-access fit

If you need one-click sign-up, you should wait: Stackap is invite-only, and an account or organization is created by the operator.

If your app needs sign-in, previews on every branch or a global edge network, it will miss them. See the comparison.

Early-access scope

• There is no sign-up flow. An agent cannot create its own account.
• There is no dedicated tool-protocol server, only the command-line tool and the HTTP API.
• Domains need a DNS edit that Stackap does not make.
• Nothing here has been measured against a list of named agents; the claim is only that anything able to run a command can use it.
