Everything Square Cloud does, category by category
Square Cloud is a self-service cloud hosting platform: you deploy the code, the platform provisions an isolated container, a TLS certificate, logs, metrics and a public address. Every feature below comes with the plan, with no add-ons.
Build and deploy
Every stack is different, but the primitives are the same: an application in an isolated container, a database next to it and a way to ship code. These are the building blocks behind every project hosted on Square Cloud.
Applications
Bots, sites, APIs and SaaS products run in isolated containers with dedicated CPU, RAM and disk, always on, with no cold starts and automatic restart if the process exits.
Sources
Deploy from wherever you work. Each path ends in the same container, online in under 5 seconds, with a squarecloud.config that declares runtime, memory and entry file next to your code.
- GitHub repository, deploy on every push
- Command line (CLI)
- ZIP upload in the dashboard
- VS Code extension
- squarecloud.config, infrastructure as code
Runtimes
Eleven production runtimes with up-to-date versions, each with its own page, recommended version and examples. Static sites ship with no server process at all.
All runtimes
Network and domains
Every web application gets a public address with HTTPS the moment Web Publishing is enabled. Your own domain, load balancing, CDN, firewall and DDoS protection come with the plan, on Cloudflare's network.
Domains
A squareweb.app subdomain with TLS on every web deploy, and your brand's domain from the Standard plan. The dashboard lists the exact DNS records to create and shows the validation status of each one.
- squareweb.app subdomain with HTTPS
- Custom domains from Standard
- Automatic TLS, issued and renewed
- DNS status: Pending, Initializing, Validated
- Accented domains via Punycode
Edge and CDN
Static content is cached at 200+ points of presence and routed by Anycast to the nearest one. Purge the cache for specific routes and see it reflected globally in about 30 seconds.
- 200+ points of presence
- Anycast routing
- HTTP/3 and Brotli
- One-click cache purge
- WebSockets
Protection
An application firewall and always-on DDoS mitigation sit in front of every application, on a backbone of redundant private fibre with 10 Gbps throughput and 20 Tbps of transit through multiple Tier 1 providers.
- Application firewall (WAF)
- Always-on DDoS mitigation
- 10 Gbps private backbone
- 20 Tbps transit, Tier 1 providers
Scale up and out
Grow an application vertically by giving it more memory, or horizontally by putting several applications behind the same domain with load balancing. Both happen from the dashboard, with no per-request billing.
Vertical scaling
Each application and database has an amount of RAM allocated from your plan. Change it in the settings or through the API when the workload grows; upgrading the plan raises the total and applies immediately.
- RAM allocated per application
- RAM allocated per database
- Change memory from the dashboard or the API
- Plan upgrades apply immediately
Horizontal scaling
Add the same custom domain to more than one application and the edge balances the traffic round-robin, with automatic failover when an application goes offline. Up to 2 applications per domain on Standard, 5 on Pro and 10 on Enterprise.
- Load balancing per domain
- Round-robin at the edge
- Automatic failover
- 2, 5 or 10 applications per domain by plan
Always on
Containers never sleep and there is no cold start: the first request after a quiet night is as fast as the thousandth. If a process exits, it restarts automatically.
- No cold starts
- Automatic restart
- 99.9% availability
- Deploys in under 5 seconds
Observe and debug
See what each application is doing without leaving the dashboard: live logs and status, resource metrics, traffic analytics and error tracking on every plan, latency percentiles on Pro and Enterprise.
Logs and status
A live console and real-time status for every application, in the dashboard, the CLI, the VS Code extension and the mobile app.
- Real-time console
- Logs in the CLI and in VS Code
- Logs in the mobile app
- Live status: online, restarting, stopped
Metrics and analytics
CPU, RAM and network usage collected every 5 minutes and kept for 24 hours per application (from 512 MB of RAM), web analytics with visitors and sources, and 4xx/5xx error tracking.
- CPU, RAM and network metrics
- Web analytics: visitors and sources
- 4xx/5xx error tracking
- p50, p95 and p99 latency on Pro and Enterprise
Status and history
Deploy status and history per application, a public status page for the platform and the network, and email alerts when errors appear.
- Deploy status and history
- Public status page
- Email alerts
- Native Android app and iPhone PWA
Data and storage
Databases, object storage and snapshots live in the same datacenter as the applications that use them, so a query travels 1 ms on average and a restore takes one click.
Databases
MongoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL and Redis provisioned in seconds from the same dashboard, on enterprise NVMe disks, with a direct connection from your applications at 1 ms average latency.
Blob Storage
Object storage for images, videos, documents and backups with Cloudflare's CDN included and no hidden egress fees. Files above 100 MB upload in chunks, and a single account scales up to 1 PB.
- Up to 1 PB of storage
- 99.999999999% durability
- No egress fees
- Global CDN included
- Chunked uploads above 100 MB
Snapshots and files
Daily snapshots of applications and databases kept for 7 days, the latest for up to 30 days, manual snapshots before risky changes and rollback in a few clicks. Files and environment variables are edited in the browser, with no rebuild.
- Daily snapshots from Pro
- Manual snapshots
- One-click rollback
- File manager in the browser
- Environment variables without rebuilds
Automate and integrate
Everything in the dashboard is also available through code: a public API, official SDKs, a CLI, a GitHub Action, a VS Code extension, a mobile app and an AI agent that works with your application's real context.
API and SDKs
Deploy, restart, logs, status, environment variables, DNS records, custom domains and load balancers all have endpoints, authenticated with API keys and scopes you manage in your account.
- Public API with scoped API keys
- JavaScript SDK
- Python SDK
- API reference in 8 languages
CLI and integrations
The CLI deploys, restarts and streams logs from the terminal and powers the official GitHub Action; the VS Code extension and the mobile app bring the dashboard to the editor and the phone.
AI agent
An agent inside the dashboard that reads logs, metrics and files, finds the cause of failures, edits code and restarts the application, always when you ask and with confirmation before destructive actions. Included on every plan with a daily budget.
- Reads logs, metrics and files
- Finds the cause and proposes the fix
- Edits code and restarts, with confirmation
- Ask by text, voice or screenshot
- Every plan, with a daily budget
Team, billing and trust
