Most hosts deploy your frontend and hand you a link to someone else's database. Light Cloud deploys the whole app: a static site or container for the code, managed PostgreSQL for the data, provisioned in the same project with the connection string already injected.
Connect a repo and Light Cloud reads it: framework, package manager, build command, output directory. React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, Next.js, Node, Python, Go, Java, Ruby, PHP, .NET. Override any of it. No Dockerfile? One is generated. Bring your own and it wins.
Every branch gets a password protected preview URL, built the way production is, gone when the branch is. Idle previews cost nothing.
You can also deploy without opening the dashboard from Claude via the MCP.
