Quickstart: Deploy your first app

Deploy your first app in about three minutes — create an account, create a project, push code, and watch it go live.

Updated Aug 3, 2026Getting Started

This guide gets a simple app live on MonkeysCloud in a few minutes. It assumes you already have Git installed and an account — if not, create one first.

Step 1: Create a project

From the dashboard, click New Project. Give it a name and pick a repository template, or start with an empty repository.

Once the project is created, MonkeysCloud provisions a managed Git repository for you — with two free databases attached by default.

Step 2: Push your code

Copy the repository URL shown on the project page and add it as a remote:

git remote add origin <your-repository-url>
git push -u origin main

Step 3: Deploy

MonkeysCloud detects your stack automatically and starts a build. Watch the progress on the project’s Builds page.

  • Your stack is detected from your project files (for example, package.json, composer.json, or a Dockerfile).
  • If you ever want to override the defaults, add a custom pipeline.

Step 4: Visit your app

When the build finishes, your app is deployed to the default environment. Open the environment page and click the URL to see it live.

That’s it

If anything goes wrong, check the build logs, and if your app is slow or down, look at uptime checks and alerts.
