Playcode AI builds it.
Playcode Cloud
runs it.
Real backend, real database, HTTPS, preview links, jobs, WebSockets, snapshots, rollback, and internal git - in the same workspace where your app is built.
Playcode Cloud is included with paid plans.

Counts registered accounts using corporate email domains from the companies above. Playcode is a self-serve product, not a contracted vendor to these brands.
Shipping a real online product
takes too many things.
An editor over here. Hosting over there. A separate database. A separate domain registrar. A CI pipeline, an SSL renewal, a monitoring dashboard. Five vendors. Five bills. Five places to keep in sync.
Playcode Cloud is three products in one.
Hosting. Database. Deploy pipeline. Built for AI-generated apps that need to keep running after the demo.
Hosting
Always-on production. Custom domain. Automatic HTTPS. Real TCP/UDP ports. The hosting layer is already part of Playcode Cloud.
Database
A real database with tables, queries, and transactions. Persists across restarts within your plan limits, without defaulting to a separate Supabase or Firebase setup.
Deploy pipeline
Per-project git, automatic snapshots, and rollback for code and data together on the supported snapshot path. A production safety net is built in.
Idea to live users.
Six steps. One product.
Code to customers, without stitching anything together.
- 1
Describe what you want to build
Tell the AI: a SaaS, an internal dashboard, a member portal, a marketplace. Plain English. The AI scaffolds the project end-to-end.
- 2
AI builds it - end-to-end
Interface, backend logic, database schema, admin pages, tests, and API integrations when you provide the right credentials. A real working app, not a static prototype.
- 3
See it work, click around, refine
Live preview opens instantly. Try the flows. Tweak the UX. Ask the AI to change the data model, the colors, the business rules - converge on the version you want.
- 4
Connect your data
A real database holds your users, your records, your content. Set up tables, indexes, and relations. It survives restarts and redeploys instead of behaving like a toy in-memory store.
- 5
One-click publish to your domain
Custom domain, HTTPS, SEO-friendly URLs, mobile-ready - all included. Show your-app.com to your users, not a staging URL.
- 6
Real users. Real traffic. Always on.
Production stays online 24/7. Signups come in while you sleep. Iterate later - we'll keep the lights on while you do, with snapshots and rollback when a change needs to be undone.
What you can do now.
The things you used to need a developer, a DevOps engineer, and a hosting bill for.
Deploy yourself, in one click
No DevOps engineer, no servers to rent, no Docker to learn. Hit Publish - your app is live at your custom domain with HTTPS.
See the result instantly
Every change is live in seconds. Iterate on layout, click around the result, share a preview link with a teammate. No rebuild step.
Verify your API actually works
Hit your endpoints, query the database, watch logs stream while you build. If something's broken, you see it now - not after launch.
A real database
Set up tables for users, sessions, events, content. Survives every restart. Snapshot it with your code - roll back the whole thing if a migration regrets itself.
SEO-friendly, server-rendered
Real URLs and real HTML rendered on the server where relevant, with fast public pages that search engines can crawl.
Custom domain, automatic HTTPS
Point your-app.com at your project in two clicks. We handle the certificate and renewals. Your URL, not ours.
Background jobs and schedulers
Daily email digest. Stripe flows or webhooks when you provide keys and requirements. Weekly report. Long-running work runs on the same always-on machine as your app.
WebSockets and real-time
Real Linux process model - WebSocket servers, queues, workers, and common server frameworks within plan and runtime limits.
Roll back your whole project.
Code, database, and files.
Most platforms version your code. Playcode Cloud snapshots the app and the data inside on the supported snapshot path.
Snapshot the whole thing
Supported snapshots include your code, database, and files together, so rollback can restore the working system instead of only the source tree.
Automatic safety net
Before production changes, Playcode can create a snapshot and use rollback as a safety net when the supported health-check path catches a bad release.
Test against a real fork
Clone the environment - same code, same database shape - and try a risky change away from production when the workflow supports it.
Built the way serious infrastructure is built.
For the technical buyer. Skip if you trust us already.
One machine, everything inside.
Your app, your database, your scheduled jobs, your uploaded files - all on one dedicated machine. Always on. Hardware-level isolation on bare-metal hardware in an EU data center.
Private networking, built in.
When you need to split components across machines, they connect on a private network inside your workspace - never over the public internet. Each project gets a custom domain with HTTPS automatic.
Storage that never loses data.
Database, files, uploads - all writing to durable cloud storage continuously. Survives every restart, every host reboot, every crash. You pay for what you write, not the size you reserve.
Dev and production,
kept in sync by git.
Each project gets its own private git repository on our internal git server. Your dev machine and your production machine share it. When you click Publish, production pulls the exact commit you intended. No drift, no "works on my dev" surprises.
The questions builders actually ask.
Straight answers. No hand-waving.
Will my backend services stay online continuously, or do they shut down when inactive?
Yes - production stays online 24/7. Your development machine auto-suspends after a period of inactivity to save compute, then wakes back up in under a second when you visit it or someone makes a request. Your data is never lost - only the running processes pause.
Can the backend handle real production traffic - multiple users, concurrent requests?
Yes. Each project runs on its own dedicated machine with full networking - real TCP/UDP ports, public domain, automatic HTTPS, custom domains. Suitable for a small to mid-sized app's traffic. Manual horizontal scaling is supported today. Automatic multi-machine scaling for one app is not included yet.
Is storage persistent? Will my database and files survive restarts and redeploys?
Yes. Your database, files, and uploaded assets write continuously to durable cloud storage. They survive every machine restart, every host reboot, and every crash. You pay only for the bytes you actually use, not the disk size you reserve.
Does the backend support long-running processes - WebSockets, queues, background workers?
Yes. Full Linux process model. WebSocket servers, background workers, scheduled jobs, and common server frameworks within plan and runtime limits.
Do you sync bidirectionally with GitHub, with full commit history, branches, and merges?
Right now: we run our own private git server. Every project gets its own repository with full branches, merges, and commit history - the same workflow you know. Two-way mirror to a GitHub.com repository is planned. Today you can push and pull from our git server, and export your project as a ZIP any time.
Is Playcode Cloud a production hosting environment, or just a cloud IDE for prototyping?
Both. Your project has a development machine (browser editor + terminal) AND a production machine (always-on, custom domain, rollback safety net on the supported publish path). One codebase, two environments, publish from dev to prod. Real users hit your production app at your custom domain.
Honest limits, so you know exactly where the line is.
- Auto-scaling across multiple machines. Manual horizontal scaling is supported today; we don't yet auto-grow a single app across a cluster.
- Multi-region failover. Single European region today (Germany). Multi-region failover is not included yet.
- Bidirectional GitHub mirror. Coming. Today our own git server handles full git semantics internally; ZIP export available any time.
