Pondoknusa Cloud (planned)

Pondoknusa Cloud is the planned managed hosting platform for Pondoknusa — the same relationship Vercel has to Next.js, or Laravel Cloud to Laravel. It does not exist yet; this page documents the target experience and what to use in the meantime.

Vision

Deploy a Pondoknusa app with:

git push origin main
# → build, migrate, cache warm, health check, traffic

No Dockerfile authoring, no manual view:cache in CI, no guessing worker counts. Pondoknusa Cloud runs the same commands you run today (config:cache, route:cache, view:cache, migrate) as an automated release phase.

Planned capabilities

Area	Target
Deploy	GitHub/GitLab integration, preview URLs per PR
Runtime	Managed Node 26+ processes with pondoknusa start / --cluster
Database	Managed Postgres with connection pooling
Redis	Managed Redis for cache, queue, broadcast fan-out
Storage	Cloudflare R2 by default (via @pondoknusa/storage-r2)
CDN	Cloudflare proxy + cache rules wired to Pondoknusa ETag middleware
Workers	Optional edge layer for headless JSON (future adapter)
Observability	Logs, metrics, /health/ready dashboards
CLI	pondoknusa deploy, pondoknusa env, pondoknusa logs

Design principles

1. Same framework, zero fork — Cloud runs stock Pondoknusa; no proprietary runtime lock-in.
2. Batteries included — Postgres, Redis, R2, and CDN configured from day one.
3. Headless-first path — smallest apps deploy fastest; SSR apps add view cache automatically.
4. Escape hatch — Every app remains portable to Docker/Fly/Railway via existing deploy/ manifests.

What to use today

Until Pondoknusa Cloud launches:

Task	Today
First production deploy	Railway or Fly.io
Container orchestration	Docker
Cloudflare CDN + R2	Cloudflare guide
Pre-deploy validation	pondoknusa deploy:check
CI release phase	CI/CD guide
Platform comparison	Platform matrix

Example manifests ship in examples/hello-world/deploy/ and examples/headless-api/deploy/.

pondoknusa deploy:check (available now)

Gate releases before traffic:

pondoknusa deploy:check

Runs doctor checks, route cache validation, and view compilation (skipped in headless mode). Pondoknusa Cloud will run an extended version of this suite on every deploy.

Contributing to the platform

Pondoknusa Cloud will build on:

• Production boot profile (prepareHttpServer, config/route caches)
• Headless mode and JSON fast path
• deploy:check and health routes
• @pondoknusa/storage-r2 for object storage
• Edge cache patterns from the cookbook
