Ship Without an Ops Hire, and Redo Nothing Later
The Self-Service Cloud Platform, for Startup Founders
Your agent can build the infrastructure. You are not sure what it built, what it will cost next month, or how you will do it again for staging.
You are shipping a product with a small team and no ops hire, and every hour on infrastructure is an hour not on the product.
Planton turns your own cloud account into a self-service platform. AI designs the infrastructure, verifies the cost and permissions before anything is created, and publishes it as templates your whole team can deploy. Your services then ship onto that infrastructure straight from Git.
What Decides It
Push to Deploy
Connect a repository; every push is built, containerized, and deployed. No pipeline YAML and no Dockerfile required.
The Monthly Cost, Before It Exists
Before your agent’s design is created, you see what it will cost each month with its coverage stated honestly, never a zero that means unknown.
Free to Start, Nothing Redone
The hosted free tier is free for up to 3 seats with no card. The same manifests run when you are a team, so nothing is redone.
The Self-Service Cloud Platform
Your agent designs through Planton instead of around it: the design is verified, deployed, and published as a template you redeploy for staging.
Infra Hub: Describe what you need, watch it compose on a live canvas, see the monthly cost and the IAM policy before anything is created, deploy, and publish it as an Infra Chart — a template your team reuses.
Service Hub: Connect a Git repository and every push becomes a running deployment — no pipeline YAML, no Dockerfile required, with results written back into GitHub checks and deployments.
Your coding agent reaches Planton through the Planton skills and the Planton MCP server, or through the CLI. It sits beside the tools you already use; nothing about how you work changes.

Services Ship from Git
Once the infrastructure exists, push. Every push is built and deployed, promotion follows the order you declared, and the result lands in GitHub, where you already are.
No pipeline YAML and no Dockerfile required.
Builds can be manual, from a branch, or from an exact commit; promotion follows the order your environments declare; protected environments carry a manual gate.

The Rest of the Story
The chapters that matter next, each with the page that tells it in full.
Verified Before It Exists
The monthly cost of what your agent designed, before it exists, so next month’s bill is not a surprise.
Verified Before Deploy →Runs Where You Decide
Your cloud account, your keys, your bill. Start hosted with no card, or on your laptop for free; the same manifests move with you.
Hosted →Every Deployment Leaves a Record
When you hire the first engineer who asks what is running and why, the answer is a record, not a memory.
The Record →You Will Ask
I do not know what a multi‑AZ database is. Is this for me?
The prompt can be one sentence of intent: say what you built and where you want it to run. The depth is there when you have it, and every component is a typed schema, so a wrong field fails before it touches your cloud.
Infra Hub →Why not let my agent write the Terraform?
It can, and you get different Terraform every time, with nobody pricing it and nothing remembering it. Through Planton the agent writes a small validated manifest; the module that runs is pre-written, tested, and open source; and the design becomes a template you redeploy.
Coding Agents →What happens when there are five of us?
Nothing is redone: the same manifests and the same model run on every shape. The hosted free tier covers 3 seats with no card; after that, teams pay per seat, and below the self-serve ceiling nobody talks to sales.

Rakesh Kandhi
Senior Developer
“The dot-env file generation for services feature in Planton's ServiceHub been super helpful for me. I can now update service configurations without having to ping Balaji every time. Even better, creating new services and deploying them to dev, staging, or prod is completely self-service. I don't need to wait for DevOps anymore.”
