Quickstart

Ship a repo in five minutes.

The shortest path through Coday — sign up, connect a GitHub repo, and your first build runs through the security gate and rolls out behind HTTPS without any infra setup.

01

Sign up


Create a Coday account at coday.io/signup. The dashboard is free to explore; a subscription kicks in the first time you deploy a repo.

02

Connect the Coday GitHub App


From the dashboard, click Settings → GitHub → Connect. Authorize the Coday GitHub App on the repository (or organization) you want to deploy. Coday only reads the repos you explicitly grant access to — you can revoke at any time from GitHub.

03

Pick a repo


Go to Dashboard → New project, pick a repo from the list, choose a region (us-east-1 or eu-central-1), and confirm. Coday detects your framework automatically — Next.js, Vite, Django, and Rails are recognized zero-config; anything else falls back to a generic Node build.

04

Watch the security gate


Your first deploy enters SCANNING before it builds. Coday runs gitleaks, semgrep, and a dependency audit against your repo. A blocking finding stops the deploy and surfaces details in the Security tab. A clean scan continues straight to BUILDING.

05

Get your URL


When the deploy reaches LIVE (typically inside 60–90 seconds after a clean scan), Coday gives you a URL on *.coday.app with HTTPS already wired. Open it from the project overview, or attach a custom domain from Dashboard → Domains.

That's it. Every push to the default branch repeats the same flow.

From here, decide what you want next: the Deploying guide covers framework specifics, env vars, custom domains, and rollback; the SDKs wire managed auth/storage/realtime into your app; the MCP guide connects Claude Code or Cursor so you can deploy from a prompt.
