Production ready in minutes
Kapten builds a secure, observable, production-grade platform inside your own cloud account, then deploys your apps and their databases onto it. Your VPC, your data residency, your bill.
A cursor drives the real UI — eight services, two databases and their wiring into a customer AWS account. Loops about every 25 seconds.Open the interactive demo

How it works
Three steps from cloud to production
No YAML to write, no Terraform to inherit, no platform team to hire. The connection is guided, the cluster is one click, and the first deploy is a git push.
Link your cloud to Kapten
Choose your cloud and follow the guided connection. Your account stays yours, and you can disconnect whenever you want.
Create your cluster in one click
Choose a name and location, then let Kapten handle the setup. Your cluster is ready for apps in just a few minutes.
Connect GitHub and go live
Choose your GitHub project, then send it to production with one click. Kapten keeps everything moving and tells you when it is live.
Bring your own cloud
Your account. Your network. Your bill.
Managed platforms keep your data in their account, their region, on their invoice. Kapten inverts that.
One scoped role crosses the boundary, and it expires in minutes. Revoke it and every resource above keeps serving traffic.

Scaling
Ten times the traffic. The same Tuesday afternoon.
Capacity follows load on infrastructure that is already running. No new environment, no migration, no window. You keep shipping, and nobody gets paged.
Set a floor and a ceiling per service. Kapten stays inside them.
Steady at api ×2. Nobody was paged.
Agent-native
Talk to your infrastructure.
Kapten exposes your whole platform as an MCP server. Connect it once to the agent you already work in, then just ask. “Deploy payments to production”. It reads your environments, opens the deploy, watches the rollout and tells you where it landed.
Your role, not a superuser
The connection inherits the exact permissions of the member who opened it. An agent cannot reach an environment its human cannot reach.
Every call is on the record
Each tool call lands in the same audit trail as a dashboard action, attributed to the person behind the agent. Nothing happens anonymously.
Any MCP client
Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Zed. One remote endpoint, nothing to install and no local daemon to keep alive.

How we think about running other people’s clouds.
BYOC is not self-hosting
The two get used interchangeably and they are opposites: one hands you the operational burden, the other hands you the account it runs in.
What a scoped role actually scopes
Every BYOC vendor says "least privilege". Here is the specific IAM shape Kapten asks for, why each permission is in it, and what it cannot reach.
The deploy should be boring
Health-gated rollouts, addressable images and rollback as a re-point rather than a re-run — the small decisions that make a deploy stop being an event.
Ready when you are
Your cloud. Our ergonomics.
Connect a cloud account and watch a production-grade environment come up in your own VPC. If it isn’t serving traffic in fifteen minutes, we want to hear why.
