Platform Features | StackShift

Core Platform Features

Everything you need to run workloads across hosted infrastructure, BYOServer nodes, BYOCloud accounts, domains, databases, email providers, and operational recovery from one StackShift control plane.

Project deployments

Deploy from GitHub or a Docker image, inspect build and deployment history, and roll back to an earlier release when needed.

Compose stacks

Run multi-service Docker Compose workloads as stacks with logs, health, public routing, and safer restore-aware lifecycle flows.

Template services

Use versioned templates as curated service blueprints with saved inputs, upgrade previews, and rollback support.

Node placement

Run on hosted nodes, connect your own servers, or place workloads on provisioned BYOCloud nodes with manual or selector-based scheduling.

BYOCloud nodes

Connect AWS, Azure, Hetzner, or DigitalOcean accounts, provision StackShift-managed nodes in them, and track provisioning from request to healthy heartbeat.

Managed databases

Create managed databases with credentials, connection details, metrics, backups, restore flows, and recovery-aware status.

Operations visibility

Track services, alerts, nodes, logs, health signals, retries, and recovery state from one operational surface.

Control plane workflows

Your control plane for day-two operations

StackShift is built for more than initial deployment. Use it to inspect status, manage backups, follow recovery state, and keep workloads operating across hosted infrastructure, connected servers, and BYOCloud nodes.

Manage project and stack environment configuration from the dashboard.

Inspect logs, health, service state, provider-backed node resources, and operational alerts from the same control plane.

Roll back project releases, restore backed-up stack or database data, and keep ownership of your cloud and email providers when needed.

Infrastructure capability

Operator surfaces that support real workloads after deployment.

Hosted, BYOServer, or BYOCloud

Choose StackShift-hosted infrastructure, connect an existing server, or let StackShift provision nodes inside your own cloud account.

Bring your own email provider

Use SMTP, Resend, Mailgun, Postmark, SES, or MailerSend on projects and stacks, with provider env vars injected during deploy.

Backups and restore

Protect stack volumes and databases with S3-backed backups and tracked restore flows.

Domains and email

Manage domain search, registration, DNS, project connection, transfers, and hosted email.

Operational guardrails

Use maintenance workflows, upgrade guidance, retries, and clearer failure and recovery handling.

Plays well with your stack

Build on the tools and platform surfaces StackShift already works with today.
