Divio Documentation

Divio is a multi cloud infrastructure management service, with a platform for containerised web application deployment.

Divio aims to provide a better way to develop, deploy, scale and maintain web applications, and manage the infrastructure they run on, using workflows you’re familiar with and open-source tools you can trust.

Applications deployed on Divio can be created with any stack, platform or language.

They are containerised using Docker, versioned in Git and can be deployed to any one of multiple global cloud regions. Each application is provided with multiple environments (Test, Live, etc), with its own services (database, storage, backups, metrics, logging and more). Services are provisioned automatically for each environment.

For the convenience of developers, Divio includes comprehensive developer tools, and a powerful local development environment.

Our promises to developers

Divio will help you achieve the results of an entire DevOps team all by yourself - there are just three steps to deployment heaven:

• Docker: containerise your application using the world’s most popular containerisation technology.

• Divio: create an application with the database, storage and other services it will need - all wired up and ready to go.

• Deploy: go live, enjoying a fully automated build and launch.

If you let us take care of the dull, repetitive jobs, you’ll get to do the creative, enjoyable ones.
