Deploy Production-Ready Apps in Minutes, Not Days

Your stakeholders need an interactive dashboard by Friday. There's a conference next week and you've been tasked with creating a live report. Sound familiar?

For most data teams, this scenario means scrambling with server configurations, Docker expertise, and infrastructure headaches. But with Civis Platform's Service Deployment, you can go from code to production in minutes—no DevOps degree required.

The Fastest Way to Get Started: Service Templates

Head to the Publish menu in Civis Platform and you'll find pre-built Service Templates for the most popular app frameworks: RShiny, Streamlit, and Flask. Each template gives you a fully functional demo app with a GitHub repo you can clone and customize for your specific use case.

Select your framework (we'll use Shiny for this example), and you're ready to configure.

Three Simple Configuration Steps

1. Git Connection
Point to the GitHub repo where your app code lives. Specify your branch (like main) and the path to any subfolder. The template defaults to a demo app in Civis' public repos, but you can swap in your own repo instantly.

2. Docker Image
Civis provides default Docker images optimized for each framework. For most Shiny apps, you won't need to change a thing—just use the pre-configured image that's already set up to work in the Civis Platform environment.

3. Resources
Set your memory and CPU requirements. Most Shiny apps run great on the defaults (1000m CPU, which equals one core). If you're expecting heavy traffic, you can adjust the number of replicas to handle simultaneous users smoothly.

Cost Efficiency Built In

Here's where Civis really stands out. Click the Multischedule button and choose how your app runs:

• On Demand - Your app sleeps after an hour of inactivity and wakes up automatically when someone needs it
• Specific Times - Keep it running during business hours for instant access, then switch to on-demand
• Always On - For mission-critical dashboards that need zero startup delay

For most use cases, On Demand strikes the perfect balance between availability and cost.

From Code to Live App

Click Start Deployment and watch Civis pull your code from Git, set up the container, and deploy your app—all in seconds.

Your app gets a secure URL you can share immediately. It's automatically shared with your default platform groups, and you can add specific users or teams with one click.

The best part? When you update your code in Git, just click Update Deployment. Civis pulls the latest version without any downtime. No complicated deployment pipelines. No server management. No breaking things on Friday afternoon.

Whether you're building stakeholder dashboards, conference presentations, or internal tools, Service Deployment gets you from idea to production faster than ever.
