NEXUS AI is an AI-native DevOps platform that eliminates the gap between writing code and running it in production.
Point it at a GitHub repo and it detects the runtime, builds the container, and ships it to your own AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure account — no Dockerfile, no pipeline YAML, no cloud console. Or describe what you want to build: NEXUS AI generates the code and deploys it in the same step.
For teams already using Claude, NEXUS AI connects directly via MCP — your AI assistant can deploy, scale, rollback, and stream logs through conversation.
Key features
- Prompt → deployed app — Describe what you want; NEXUS AI generates the code and deploys it. No Dockerfile required.
- Source deployment — Point at any GitHub repo. Runtime is auto-detected.
nexus deploy source --repo github.com/you/app --wait - Multi-cloud — AWS ECS Fargate, Google Cloud Run, Azure Container Apps, Docker — one CLI, one API, every cloud.
- MCP integration — Claude can deploy, scale, rollback, and stream logs via natural language. No console switching.
- Secrets vault — AES-256-GCM encrypted secrets injected at runtime. Never baked into images.
- Full lifecycle — Deploy → redeploy → rollback → scale → stop → logs. CLI, MCP, or REST API.
- Custom domains — Attach a domain, point a CNAME, verify — one workflow across all providers.
- One-command templates —
nexus deploy openclaw/nexus deploy flixty— curated apps live in one call. - CI/CD integration —
NEXUSAI_TOKEN+nexus deploy redeployin GitHub Actions. No custom pipeline logic. - Audit logs + RBAC — Identity-based access, per-org isolation, audit trail for every action.
What makes it different
vs Railway / Render
Deploys into your own AWS/GCP/Azure account — not shared infra. You own the billing, the data, and the IAM.
vs GitHub Actions + cloud CLIs
Eliminates pipeline YAML entirely. 87-line Actions workflow → 24 lines. Redeployments in 60–90 seconds.
vs Heroku / Fly.io
Multi-cloud from day one. No lock-in to a single provider's runtime or pricing.
vs raw cloud consoles
No Dockerfile required. No cloud-specific config. One command works on AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure.
vs everything
MCP-native — the only DevOps platform where Claude can deploy, scale, and rollback your app through conversation. No competitor does prompt → production end-to-end.
Real outcomes
- Under 5 minutes — first deploy, from
nexus loginto running container - 60–90 seconds — redeployments and rollbacks
- 0 Dockerfiles — source-based deploys auto-detect Node.js, Python, Go, and more
- 87 → 24 lines — GitHub Actions workflow reduction when switching to
nexus deploy redeploy - No DevOps hire needed — solo founders ship to production on AWS/GCP/Azure without cloud expertise
- $0 platform markup on infra — you pay your cloud provider directly; NEXUS AI is the orchestration layer
Who it's for
- SaaS founders — ship to production without building infra from scratch
- Solo developers — full multi-cloud deployment without a DevOps team
- Platform & DevOps teams — standardize deployment orchestration across projects
- Compliance-heavy orgs — HIPAA-aligned defaults, tenant isolation, encrypted secrets vault
