# Kedge

> A lightweight, globally distributed cloud platform. Deploy static sites, HTML apps with live data, shebang handlers, container services, and databases from a source tree, a Git push, or a prebuilt image. Every app includes a replicated SQLite database and file tree, scales to zero, and runs in hardware-isolated VMs.

Every page below is also available as markdown at the same URL.
The complete documentation as one file is at https://kedge.dev/llms-full.txt.
The REST API is described by https://kedge.dev/api/openapi.json.
