# Northflank > Deploy any workload including containers, AI models, and databases on Northflank's cloud or your own with automated Kubernetes management. Northflank is a comprehensive platform-as-a-service (PaaS) that enables developers and enterprises to deploy containers, AI models, databases, and jobs across any cloud environment. The platform abstracts Kubernetes complexity while providing full control over deployments, whether on Northflank's managed cloud or your own AWS, GCP, Azure, or bare-metal infrastructure. Since 2019, teams have used Northflank to run everything from enterprise products to high-scale AI infrastructure, processing over 130 billion requests and running 2 million+ monthly containers. - **Multi-Cloud Deployment** allows you to run workloads on Northflank's managed cloud or bring your own Kubernetes clusters from AWS EKS, GCP GKE, Azure AKS, Oracle OKE, CoreWeave, or Civo with 330+ availability zones globally. - **GPU AI Workloads** supports deploying and scaling open-source models like Llama4 and Deepseek, with NVIDIA H100, H200, B200, and A100 GPUs available for inference, training, and Jupyter notebooks. - **Secure Code Execution** provides microVM sandboxing for running untrusted code at scale, spinning up in as little as 200ms for code-gen and multi-tenant workloads. - **CI/CD Pipelines** connects to GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket to trigger builds and deployments automatically, with support for Dockerfiles and Buildpacks. - **Managed Databases** offers PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, RabbitMQ, and vector databases like pgvector with high availability, backups, restores, and zonal redundancy. - **Preview Environments** spins up ephemeral environments from pull requests for testing before production deployment. - **Infrastructure as Code** enables creating reusable templates with GitOps support for managing releases and infrastructure through Git. - **Observability Tools** includes real-time log tailing, metrics, alerting, and 30-day retention with log sinks to third-party platforms. - **Enterprise Features** provides SSO/SAML/OIDC, audit logging, fine-grained RBAC, and the ability to run in your VPC with custom SLAs. To get started, sign up for a free sandbox account that includes 2 free services, 2 free databases, and 2 free cron jobs with always-on compute. Connect your Git repository, configure your build settings, and deploy your first container in minutes using the UI, CLI, or API. ## Features - Multi-cloud deployment (AWS, GCP, Azure, Oracle, Civo, CoreWeave) - GPU workloads with NVIDIA H100, H200, B200, A100 - Managed databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, RabbitMQ) - CI/CD pipelines with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket integration - Preview and ephemeral environments - Secure microVM sandboxing for code execution - Infrastructure as Code with templates and GitOps - Real-time logs and metrics with 30-day retention - Autoscaling (horizontal and vertical) - Custom domains with automatic TLS/SSL - Secret and config management - High availability and zonal redundancy - RBAC and team collaboration - Service mesh with mTLS - Jupyter notebooks support - Vector databases (pgvector) - Spot instances support - Custom autoscaling rules ## Integrations GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, AWS EKS, GCP GKE, Azure AKS, Oracle OKE, CoreWeave, Civo, Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, OpenShift, Rancher, Tanzu ## Platforms WEB, API, WINDOWS, MACOS, LINUX ## Pricing Freemium — Free tier available with paid upgrades ## Links - Website: https://northflank.com - Documentation: https://northflank.com/docs - EveryDev.ai: https://www.everydev.ai/tools/northflank
