👋 Welcome to the Stackhero documentation!

Stackhero provides a ready-to-use Python cloud solution designed to streamline your deployment process:

  • Deploy your application to production in seconds with a simple git push.
  • Use your own domain name, with automatic HTTPS certificate configuration for secure connections handled for you.
  • Rely on automatic backups, one-click updates, and predictable pricing, so you can focus on your code, not infrastructure management.
  • Benefit from strong performance and security on a private, dedicated infrastructure. Your environment is isolated and protected.

Save time and simplify your workflow: you can have your code running with Stackhero's Python cloud hosting in just 5 minutes.

Before getting started, make sure you have the following tools installed:

  1. Python
  2. pip
  3. git
  4. asdf

If you need help setting up your environment, see the Development platform guide. Alternatively, you can start coding instantly with the online Code-Hero platform. Code-Hero provides an online IDE and terminal, with all essential tools pre-installed. This lets you focus on your code instead of installation and setup.
