Docker Compose to a live URL.
In your own AWS account.

How it works

1. 1

   Onboard your platform. Once, ~20 minutes.

   Point plactl at your GitHub Org and AWS Organization. plactl bootstraps accounts, environments, clusters, and devops machinery in your org.

   app.plactl.com

   1 · Identity

   Platform name acme Platform email platform@acme.com

   2 · Environments

   Environments dev staging prod Region us-west-2

   3 · AWS accounts

   Member accounts create byo Cost preview ~$350/mo Alert at $500/mo

   4 · Credentials

   Session credentials temporary · they expire Create platform →

2. 2

   Link your repos. The compose file is the contract.

3. 3

   Push.

   • Builds & Deploys: in your own account (no more flaky GitHub Actions runners).
   • Status on your PRs: checks and deployments land in GitHub.
   • Logs one click away: build and runtime logs on your own observability platform (no more Datadog bill).
   • Scoped AWS access: project-scoped VPN, org-scoped platform viewer.
   • Local dev: plactl compose prep to docker compose up.
   • Live URL: every exposed service gets one.
