About Defang
Defang is a cloud deployment platform that enables developers to go from a Docker Compose file to a fully deployed application on AWS, GCP, or other clouds in minutes. It eliminates the need for complex Terraform or Kubernetes configurations by handling compute, storage, networking, security groups, IAM roles, load balancing, and auto-scaling automatically. Defang supports agentic frameworks like CrewAI, LangGraph, AutoGen, n8n, and Strands, and integrates with popular IDEs via MCP for AI-assisted deployments. The platform is SOC 2 certified and an AWS and Google Cloud partner.
- Docker Compose Deployments — Deploy directly from a Docker Compose file to any supported cloud without writing Terraform or other IaC.
- MCP IDE Integration — Connect Defang's MCP server to Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, Claude Desktop, or other IDEs to generate and deploy apps from your editor.
- Agentic Framework Support — Built-in support for CrewAI, LangGraph, AutoGen, n8n, and Strands for deploying AI agent applications.
- Multi-Cloud BYOC — Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) to deploy into your own AWS or GCP account, keeping data and infrastructure under your control.
- Automated Security & Networking — Networking, security groups, and IAM roles are configured automatically so every deployment is locked-down and compliant.
- Auto-Scaling & GPU Support — Configures load balancing, auto-scaling, and GPU instances so applications scale with demand.
- Managed Services — Provisions managed Postgres and Redis services alongside your application containers.
- AI-Assisted Generation & Debugging — Use Defang's AI agent to generate project scaffolding from a natural language prompt and automatically detect and fix deployment failures.
- 80+ Pre-Built Templates — Choose from over 80 pre-configured sample templates for one-click deployments.
- Defang Playground — Free sandbox environment for testing and hackathon projects before deploying to production clouds.
