Start with the quickstart. The shortest route to a working app is an HTML app: add data-kedge to a page and deploy the directory. kedge up covers source deployments of every other type, and the app model is the one-page summary of how those types fit together.

start

• quickstart — Publish a page, function, routed site, source build, and image
• deploy workflows — Deploy directories, Git branches, images, and repositories

build

• sites & routing — Static file trees, Markdown, clean paths, and fallbacks
• HTML apps — Add live data and managed writes to ordinary HTML
• handlers — Turn shebang files into request handlers
• builds & images — Automatic source builds, Dockerfiles, and prebuilt images
• app authentication — Protect any app and pass verified identity to HTML, handlers, and services
• GitHub deploys — Automatic deploys and pull-request previews

data

• shared data — SQLite and files built into every app
• persistent volumes — Private local filesystems for software that needs one

run

• instant sandboxes & scale-out — How sandboxes and app instances become ready in milliseconds
• security & isolation — VM, network, access, and secret boundaries
• runtime & scaling — Autoscaling, readiness, snapshots, and cold starts
• network & domains — HTTPS, custom domains, private networking, and CDN
• global coverage — Compute regions and measured network latency
• sandboxes — Disposable VMs for one-shot code and interactive work

operate

• logs & metrics — Live logs, metrics queries, events, and webhooks
• pricing & billing — Metered resources, rates, credits, and suspension

reference

• HTML app reference — Bindings, forms, interpolation, identity, and Markdown shorthand
• app model — Apps, services, instances, members, and global placement
• configuration — Configuration sources, precedence, and property reference
• Compose reference — Supported Compose fields and x-kedge extensions
• starters & shared apps — Curated starters, deploy links, and repeat deploys
• GitHub Actions runners — Disposable VMs for GitHub Actions jobs
• CLI & SSH reference — Install the CLI, deploy and manage apps, or use SSH directly
• REST API reference — Authentication, conventions, examples, and generated endpoints

For automation, use the CLI & SSH reference, REST reference, or OpenAPI document.

Every page here is also plain markdown: append .md to its URL. Language models can start from /llms.txt for an annotated index, or /llms-full.txt for the whole corpus in one request.
