What is Runex?

Runex is an easy cloud deployment platform for developers: a platform as a service (PaaS) that turns a GitHub repo into a live web app with HTTPS. Also called Runex Cloud, it builds your code, runs it in an isolated container, and serves it on *.runex.cloud.

Definition

What does Runex do?

Runex takes code from GitHub and runs it as a live, secure web app. You don't set up or maintain a server.

A platform as a service (PaaS) is a cloud product that runs your application for you: it builds the code, starts it, and handles networking and HTTPS.

Runex is a PaaS focused on web apps and APIs. You connect a GitHub repository through the Runex GitHub App, and each push to your branch becomes a new deployment.

Every app gets its own isolated container and an HTTPS URL on *.runex.cloud. You can add your own domain with a CNAME record pointing to cname.runex.cloud.

How it works

How does Runex work?

Connect, push, and Runex does the rest. Four steps from repository to live URL.

  1. You

    Connect GitHub

    Install the Runex GitHub App on your repo.

  2. You

    Pick a branch

    Usually main. Pushes redeploy it.

  3. Runex

    Build and isolate

    Builds your app and starts its own container.

  4. Runex

    Serve over HTTPS

    Live at https://<slug>.runex.cloud.

Push = redeploy.

Every push to your branch ships automatically, and Runex verifies each webhook really came from GitHub.
