Missing or broken Dockerfiles are a common deployment failure. Defang avoids this by using Railpack to build images automatically for Node, Python, Go, Java, Ruby, Rust, PHP, Elixir, and static sites.
Just bring your app and a Compose file.

Defang keeps networking familiar: public services use load balancers, private services run in isolated subnets, and internal DNS handles service-to-service calls.
It’s the Compose networking model applied securely and at scale in your cloud.

Wiring logs shouldn’t be hard.
* `defang compose up` streams build + runtime logs right away
* Or jump into `defang tail --name my-service`
Deploy first, *then* decide if you ever want to open your cloud provider’s logging console again. 🚢🐙

Defang has three deployment modes:
Affordable for dev,
Balanced for staging,
High Availability for production.
Each mode adjusts compute, logs, networking, and storage so you only pay for what you need at each stage.

Deploying Defang with Defang: Part 1
Deploying applications is hard. Deploying complex, multi-service applications is even harder.
When we built Defang Portal, deploying its six services, including auth, databases, and frontend, was more complex than we wanted, even with early Defang tooling.
