What is FTL? ​

FTL helps developers deploy web applications to production servers. It automates all the complex parts of deployment that usually require DevOps expertise:

• Sets up your server with all required security
• Installs and configures your database
• Gets free SSL certificates for your domain
• Keeps your site running during updates

How Simple Is It? ​

1. Install FTL on your computer
2. Rent a basic server from any provider
3. Create a simple config file
4. Run ftl deploy

That's it. FTL handles everything else - server setup, security, SSL, databases, and more.

Perfect For ​

• Developers deploying their first production application
• Small to medium web applications
• Teams without dedicated DevOps engineers
• Anyone who wants to focus on coding, not server management

When to Consider Alternatives ​

• Large enterprise applications
• Microservice architectures with many components
