Introduction

Lizard documentation

Lizard builds and runs applications from a GitHub repository or a local folder. Use Lizard CLI or the dashboard to deploy a web service, run a background worker, connect Managed Postgres or Managed Redis, and inspect logs. Use Lizard SDK to create Sandboxes for code execution.

Deploy an app

Install Lizard CLI and sign in, then deploy a repository you can access:

npm install -g @lizard-build/cli
lizard login
lizard add -r your-org/your-app

Lizard builds the image on its servers, so this path does not need local Docker. lizardpack detects supported projects; projects with special build needs can use explicit commands or a Dockerfile. Check the build logs and verify the application URL after deployment.

Understand your resources

A workspace groups members and projects. A project groups services, databases, and Sandboxes. A service runs an application or worker. Managed Postgres, Managed Redis, and Managed Object Storage provide data services that applications connect to through environment references.

Apps and Sandboxes have different runtime and storage rules. Read limits and storage and recovery before depending on a resource’s size, lifetime, or data retention.
