Shpyrd

Shpyrd is an application deployment platform that hosts apps, databases, and background processes behind authentication.

Shpyrd hosts applications, databases, and background tasks together in a single project. Users can deploy projects directly from Git repositories or local folders using buildpacks or Dockerfiles, or through AI agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor via an MCP server and CLI. The platform automatically places applications behind authentication with TLS without requiring custom login code. Hosted apps and services sleep when idle, waking within seconds when a signed-in user visits, eliminating CPU and memory costs during downtime. The platform is available as a managed cloud service or as an open-source, self-hosted deployment running on Kubernetes.
