Get started
Create a project, turn on the services it needs, and find your way around.
Invite your team and set access
Add people to the account, give them a role, and choose which services they can use.
Plans and billing
Choose a plan for each service; they’re all billed together on one subscription.
Keep your account secure
Two-factor authentication, passkeys, sessions and account-wide security rules.
Use the API
Automate deploys and more with API tokens.
Run client work (agencies)
Your branding on what clients see, a monthly report for each client, and costs passed on with your markup.
Ask the assistant
Ask about deploys, errors, checks, incidents, Analytics and servers in plain language, in the app or from your AI tools.
Webhooks
Send deploys, incidents, servers, backups, findings and billing changes to your own automation.
Claim your project’s domains
Add the hostnames a project serves and verify them, so no other account can claim them.
Download or delete your data
Get a copy of what we hold about you, or delete your user account.
Connect a cloud provider
Let BuildPusher create servers in your DigitalOcean, Hetzner Cloud, Vultr, Linode, AWS (Lightsail or EC2), Google Compute Engine, Azure, OVHcloud, Scaleway or UpCloud account.
Create a server
Provision a server in your cloud account and follow its setup live.
Add a website
Host a website on a server, with a domain, TLS and a database.
Cron jobs, processes, firewall and services
Schedule commands, keep workers running, open ports and install search or cache on a server.
Web server, files, logs and CDN
Adjust how a website is served, look at its files and logs, and put it behind a CDN.
Run commands and open a terminal
Run a one-off command on a server, or open a root shell in your browser to troubleshoot.
Recipes and the recipe gallery
Your own scripts for new servers, and ready-made ones other accounts have shared.
Storage buckets
Object storage for your apps, from S3, Spaces, R2, Google Cloud Storage and others.
Move from Forge or Ploi
Read your servers and sites from Laravel Forge or Ploi and recreate them here, one site at a time.
Costs and right-sizing
See what your servers cost and what your providers billed, set a budget, and size them to what they actually use.
Back up and restore
Scheduled, verified backups to your own storage.
Add a read replica
Copy a database server continuously to another one that serves reads, and promote it if the primary fails.
Load balancers
Spread a hostname’s traffic across app servers, skipping any that fail a health check.
Deploy from Git
Connect a repository and deploy it to a website on every push.
Deploy from the command line
Deploy, follow logs and roll back from your terminal or CI with the BuildPusher CLI.
Environments and variables
Configure each environment: variables, workers, how deploys run, and recipes.
Autoscaling, maintenance mode and regions
Scale with demand, take the site down for planned work, and see where it runs.
Preview pull requests
Give every pull request its own running copy.
Roll back, compare and promote
Go back to a known release, see what changed, and move a tested build forward.
Configuration as code
Describe environments in YAML, see exactly what would change, and apply it as a review.
Monitor uptime
Check your sites and jobs, and get told when something breaks.
Send errors, traces and metrics
Instrument your application so problems point at the release that caused them.
Alert rules
Open incidents from errors, latency, log lines, metrics and SLO burn, and keep alerts quiet enough to trust.
On-call schedules
Decide who gets paged, by rotation, and cover for people who are away.
Incidents and status pages
Respond to problems and keep your users informed.
Service level objectives (SLOs)
Promise how reliable a service is, and see how much room is left before you break it.
Dashboards
Bring telemetry, incidents, monitors and SLOs together on one page your team can share.
Get started with Security
Turn on Security, read the findings and fix what matters first.
Vulnerable packages, secrets and the deploy gate
Find known vulnerabilities and leaked credentials in what you deploy, and stop risky deploys.
Harden and update servers
See how each server is set up, fix problems in a click, and install security updates on a schedule.
Firewall, bots and attacks
Cloudflare protection for your zones, and automatic blocking of attackers.
SSH keys and access reviews
Give people their own SSH access, and review who can reach the account.
Compliance evidence
Download evidence for SOC 2, ISO 27001 and security questionnaires.
Add analytics to a website
Count visitors without cookies, and measure the goals that matter.
Explore your traffic
Choose any period, compare it, save segments, and dig into paths, retention and sales.
Funnels
See how many visitors take the steps you care about, in order, and where they drop off.
Reports, alerts and sharing
Send regular reports and CSV exports, get told about spikes and unusual days, and share or embed a report.
Import, export and your own domain
Bring your Google Analytics history, send raw data to BigQuery, and avoid ad blockers.
Run an audit of your site
Watch a simulated visitor try real tasks on your site and your competitors’, and see what to improve.
