Upsun provides a fully managed, cloud‑agnostic Platform as a Service that automates build, deploy, and preview workflows directly from Git. It creates instant, production‑identical environments—including up to 1 TB of data—in seconds, offering managed databases, multi‑cloud deployment, autoscaling, and enterprise‑grade security so development teams can focus on code rather than infrastructure.

Problem
Development teams often waste time managing complex staging environments, manually configuring stacks, and waiting hours or days for production clones, which slows release cycles and increases the risk of “works on my machine” errors.
Solution
Upsun delivers a fully managed, cloud‑agnostic Platform as a Service that automates the entire build, deploy, and preview workflow. By integrating directly with Git repositories, every push can trigger an instant, byte‑perfect clone of the production stack—including code, configuration, dependencies, and up to 1 TB of real data—within seconds. Developers receive isolated preview environments with custom URLs and auto‑configured SSL, enabling rapid feature testing and stakeholder feedback. The platform also provides built‑in multi‑cloud deployment, managed databases, autoscaling, and enterprise‑grade security (SOC 2, PCI DSS, DDoS protection) without additional setup, allowing teams to focus on code rather than infrastructure.
Target Audience
Upsun is aimed at software development teams and platform engineering groups building web applications, APIs, and AI agents—particularly those requiring multi‑environment testing, compliance, and scalable cloud deployments.
Features
- Git‑driven pipelines that auto‑deploy preview environments on each pull request, with custom domain support and automatic SSL
- Production‑perfect environment cloning (up to 1 TB) in ~30 seconds, eliminating staging bottlenecks
- Managed services for PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Redis, and other runtimes, with instant provisioning and data consistency across environments
- Multi‑cloud and edge deployment options with region‑level resource control and green‑region cost optimizations
- Enterprise‑grade security and compliance (SOC 2 Type 2, PCI DSS Level 1, 175 Gbps DDoS protection, SSO, granular permissions)
- Real‑time observability, health alerts, and integration with monitoring tools such as Datadog, Grafana, and New Relic
- Pay‑as‑you‑go pricing with per‑second billing, resource autoscaling, and the ability to shut down idle environments to reduce costs
