Introduction

Learn about monolayer, a next-generation developer platform designed to radically simplify full-stack application development and deployment.

Meet monolayer

monolayer is a developer platform that connects your application code with the cloud infrastructure it needs — automatically.

You can focus entirely on building your app, while monolayer provisions and deploys everything behind the scenes.

With monolayer, you can:

  • Define background jobs, cron tasks, databases, Realtime channels (WebSockets), and storage buckets directly in your app code.
  • Spin up preview environments for every branch, with live databases and migrations applied.
  • Deploy to production with a single step, no Terraform, no YAML.
  • And run all of this inside your own cloud account — so you keep control, compliance, and flexibility.

It's optimized for the entire software development lifecycle: from coding, to testing, to deployment, to operating in production. And because it runs on your own AWS account, you don't get locked into yet another PaaS.
