# Ownkube documentation

> Deploy web apps, workers, scheduled jobs, managed Postgres and Valkey on Ownkube from GitHub, GitLab, a container image, the CLI, or your coding agent. Live URL, TLS, logs, metrics and autoscaling included.

Ownkube is a cloud for personal software. Push a GitHub or GitLab repo or point at a container image and Ownkube builds it, runs it, and gives you a live URL with automatic TLS. Managed [Postgres](/docs/data/postgres) and [Valkey](/docs/data/valkey), [logs](/docs/observability/logs), [metrics](/docs/observability/metrics), [alerts](/docs/observability/alerts), [autoscaling](/docs/deployments/autoscaling) and [rollbacks](/docs/deployments/rollbacks) are built in. You pay per minute from a [prepaid wallet](/docs/billing/plans), with no cloud account and no subscription to start.

## Prefer your own cloud?

The same app runs in your own AWS account with the same dashboard, CLI and observability, if you ever want it there. See [Run in your own AWS account](/docs/own-cloud).
