ServiceHub

Your Command Center for Modern Application Delivery

Remember when deploying code meant SSH-ing into servers, running scripts, and crossing your fingers? Or maybe you're currently maintaining a maze of CI/CD pipelines across different tools? ServiceHub changes all that.

ServiceHub is Planton Cloud's answer to the question: "Why can't deploying backend services be as simple as pushing to Vercel?" It's where your code meets the cloud, automatically and intelligently.

The ServiceHub Promise: Push code to Git, get production deployments. No YAML wrestling, no pipeline debugging, no sleepless nights.

What ServiceHub Does

Think of ServiceHub as your application delivery platform that handles the entire journey from code to cloud:

📦 Services

Connect Git repos & configure builds Define what to build, from where, and how. Support for monorepos, custom triggers, and more.

🔄 Pipelines

Automated CI/CD workflows Every commit triggers intelligent pipelines that build, test, and deploy your applications.

🚀 Deployments

Multi-cloud, multi-platform delivery Deploy to Kubernetes, AWS ECS, Google Cloud Run, or anywhere else your apps need to live.

The Developer Experience You Deserve

ServiceHub was born from a simple frustration: why is deploying applications still so hard? Here's how we've made it better:

1. Connect Once, Deploy Forever

# Traditional approach
- Set up CI/CD pipeline
- Configure build scripts
- Set up deployment scripts
- Configure webhooks
- Manage secrets
- Debug failed builds
- Repeat for each service...

# ServiceHub approach
- Connect your repo
- Push code
- Done.

2. Intelligent Defaults, Full Control

We make smart decisions so you don't have to, but give you escape hatches when you need them:

• Auto-detect your language and framework
• Auto-build using Cloud Native Buildpacks
• Auto-deploy to your configured environments
• But also: Bring your own Dockerfile, your own pipelines, your own everything if needed

3. Monorepo-First Design

Real applications aren't always neat single-repo projects. ServiceHub embraces complexity:

• Configure multiple services from one repository
• Set up smart triggers so only relevant services rebuild
• Use sparse checkout for faster clones
• Share code between services without deployment headaches

How ServiceHub Fits in Planton Cloud

ServiceHub is one part of the larger Planton Cloud ecosystem:

• InfraHub provisions the infrastructure where your services run
• ServiceHub builds and deploys your applications to that infrastructure
• Secrets Manager provides runtime configuration
• IAM controls who can deploy what, where

ServiceHub by the Numbers

Here's what ServiceHub enables under the hood:

• < 30 seconds from commit to pipeline start
• Zero-config builds for 8+ major languages
• Parallel builds for monorepo services
• Preview environments for pull requests
• Multi-cloud deployment targets
• Complete observability of your build and deploy process

Why Developers Love ServiceHub

"It's like Vercel and Heroku had a baby, but for serious backend services. Push code, get deployments. Finally." - A happy developer

"We went from 45-minute Jenkins pipelines to 5-minute ServiceHub builds. Our monorepo with 12 services just works." - Platform team lead

"The preview environments for PRs changed how we do code reviews. Seeing is believing." - Frontend developer
