# What is Deployment Platform?

*Development · Last updated: September 29, 2026*

A service that allows you to upload the software you develop to the internet and make it available to everyone.

## Overview

A deployment platform is a system that takes the code you write on your computer and makes it run on cloud servers. It simplifies the developer's job by automating complex processes such as infrastructure management, SSL certificates, and domain binding.

***Analogy:** It is like a professional shipping and retail company that packages a product you made at home, places it on store shelves, and delivers it to the customer.*

## How it works

When you push your code to a source code repository like GitHub, the platform automatically compiles it, installs it on the server, and generates an accessible web address over the internet.

## Where it is used

It is used during the stage of launching websites, mobile app backends, and artificial intelligence projects onto the internet.

## Commonly confused with

It is different from the development environment where you only write code; it is where the code is presented to the end user.
