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 redeploy in 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 login to 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
