Docker: Going further

Welcome to the Stackhero documentation

Stackhero offers a ready-to-use Docker cloud CaaS (Containers as a Service) platform, designed for fast and reliable container deployments:

  • Deploy to production with a single docker-compose up command. No additional configuration required: just launch your containers.
  • Choose your own domain name, automatically secured with HTTPS (for example: https://api.your-company.com, https://www.your-company.com, or https://backoffice.your-company.com).
  • Take advantage of high performance and enhanced security on private, dedicated infrastructure.
  • Apply updates with a single click for simple, effortless maintenance.

Your containers can be running in production in about five minutes. Stackhero manages the infrastructure, updates, and security for you, so you can focus on developing your applications. Learn more about Docker CaaS cloud hosting.

It is recommended to protect the production and staging branches to prevent direct pushes. With branch protection enabled, changes are made through pull requests, which must be reviewed and merged by someone with the appropriate permissions. This allows features to be validated on the staging platform before being promoted to production after approval.

By following this workflow, you ensure both security (so only authorized team members can deploy to staging and production) and reliability (by testing new features on a staging platform before deploying to production).
