Your backend/dynamic web apps don’t persist data to disk, unless you’ve bound it to a storage capsule. You can also persist data to any of the database capsules, with easy binding/integration to your backend capsules (mongo, mysql or postgres). You can opt in for database and storage backups on a weekly schedule.
,
You can debug your applications by logging to STDOUT in your apps, which will automatically pull through to your capsule details pages log output. You can also monitor CPU, RAM and traffic logs.
,
Every Space that you create is a private virtual network in a target cluster in a region somewhere in the world. Your applications are secure in our network and we only access https traffic to your public endpoints, which can also be switched off if you don’t want any ingress into your applications (for example […]
,
You can navigate to your Capsule details page and press “Scale”. From there, you can update your web application’s RAM, CPU and Scale count (number of instances behind our global load balancer).
,
After you’ve connected your GitHub account and repository to Code Capsules, all you have to do is create a Team, Space and a Capsule linked to that repository, and you’re good to go.
,
We expose a basic GitHub-based CI/CD pipeline. When you press Build & Deploy or commit/push up to your repo, our builders will pull your latest GitHub source code, identify the runtime (unless you’ve specified it in a Procfile) and build a container-based image that will be deployed to a target region/cluster (you specify this when […]

You want to ensure that your PaaS provider is as simple to use as well as flexible and scalable down the line. For example, Code Capsules allows you to increase your applications RAM and CPU without any downtime. This means you can start off small while scaling down the line. Pay as you use. Key […]
“PaaS” stands for “Platform as a Service”. Sometimes also referred to as an Application Platform as a Service. A PaaS provides developer-friendly abstractions on top of complex and unnecessary cloud infrastructure. You don’t need to worry about updating your server’s operating system, ensuring security patches and certificates are up-to-date, upgrading specs with downtime, architecting a […]
The major differences are regarding what type of hardware you have access to. A private cloud has all the benefits of a public cloud with none of the drawbacks. You still get scalable, on-demand computing resources, but without having to share them. There is no chance that your cloud services will be interrupted by outside […]
A PaaS (Platform as a Service) is a cloud computing configuration in which a third-party supplier provides users with hardware and software instruments over the internet. Examples of Platform as a Service include Amazon EC2, Google Cloud Compute Engine, and DigitalOcean.
Web hosting gives you your own server to run, maintain and update. Cloud hosting means that all the servers are maintained by the cloud host themselves; no work is needed from you. Best of all, everything is billed on a pay-as-you-use basis, which means you only pay for what you use.
,
IaaS products are excellent for System Admins, while PaaS tools are ideal for developers.
,
A critical difference between IaaS and PaaS is that IaaS products give administrators direct control over the OS, while PaaS allows users more flexibility and ease when operating products.
,
SaaS and PaaS cloud computing models can compromise the security and function of tools. SaaS is ideal for businesses seeking ease of use, while PaaS is great for companies seeking to create a solution using an existing network.
Another company solely manages SaaS tools, while Developers use PaaS products to build new products using the platform’s network.
If you have purchased a domain from a domain registrar, you may route any application hosted on Code Capsules free of charge. To add a custom domain, navigate to the Capsule containing the application which you’d like to add a custom domain to. Find and click on the “Overview” tab. In the Overview tab, you […]
Code Capsules provides Teams for collaborative development. Multiple members may belong to a team. A Team may contain multiple Spaces and Capsules. Members of the Team can interact with these Spaces and Capsules. Furthermore, Teams handle the payment for all of its Capsules. You set up a payment method for the entire Team (a credit card), and Code […]
Spaces are an organizational tool for Capsules. Each Space can contain any number of Capsules. Spaces come in handy when working with a large project – it may be useful to split the project into multiple Capsules.
A Capsule provides the actual server for running your applications. Code Capsules offers two distinct Capsule types: Frontend Capsules and Backend Capsules. Frontend Capsules deploy Angular, React, Vue, or static content from the GitHub repository housing your application. Backend Capsules deploy Node.js, Java, or Python applications from the GitHub repository containing your code. Capsules automatically […]
Teams, Spaces, and Capsules are the foundation of Code Capsules. “Teams contain Spaces and Spaces contain Capsules“. Teams are to organize people. Multiple people can join your Team, and each member of the Team can interact with the Spaces and Capsules that the Team contains. Furthermore, Teams are associated with a payment method – you add a credit card to […]
The format offers users a flexible consumption model of private cloud resources deployed on-premises and allocated solely to an individual organization. The cloud provider maintains and manages to keep the deployment working as intended.
The most pertinent cloud terminologies include cloud, public cloud, private cloud, hybrid cloud, multi-cloud, IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS.
Some key characteristics of PaaS include; shared (multiple tenants) architecture, full database customization, programmable user interface, well-rounded workflow engine and capabilities, precise and total control over security, and sharing permissions. Other identifying features are mentioned above in the PaaS segment.
Cloud deployment automation refers to the automation of software movement between testing and production environments for repeatable and reliable deployments in any software’s lifecycle.
Cloud deployment, done well, can make a massive difference for any user with relevant applications. To find the best vendor, the focus should be on how easy the service is to use, the kind of security it deploys, and its scalability. For technical requirements (which can get complicated), it is advisable to opt for the […]
PaaS typically includes everything infrastructure-as-a-service provides, but with added middleware and services to make app building easy within the same integrated environment. In the case of Code Capsules, we give the MEAN stack developer everything they need to get their stack deployed quickly and easily. And once it’s time to scale, it’s as simple as […]
With PaaS, developers have the benefit of building, deploying, monitoring, upgrading, and maintaining their apps without ever having to think about anything other than building the apps. With technologies that make it easy to spot mistakes, make upgrades, and overhaul the entire app with ease.
PaaS is priced using a pay-as-you-go model to ensure you only pay for what you use. There is no need to invest in anything extra unless required when getting a PaaS platform subscription. If you have already spent money on infrastructure, you can use a PaaS stack of your choice on top of it.
PaaS denotes a platform from a provider who hosts the hardware and software on their infrastructure, which is then delivered to you as an integrated solution, service, or solution stack over the internet.

The name, Code Capsules, refers to the space a developer creates to launch their frontend, backend and database instances. Since Code Capsules allows developers to run all three of those instances from a single platform, it made sense to call this space a capsules, which is where an app is built, deployed and scaled from.
