​
Before you begin

Square Cloud is a paid platform — an active plan is required to deploy, so your project runs on production-grade infrastructure from day one. Create your account, then select the plan that’s right for you (see what each plan includes).

Sign Up

If you’ve never used Square before, sign up to get started.

Log in

If you already have an account, log in to get started.

​
Upload your project 😁

You can upload your project to Square Cloud in a few simple steps, as shown below:
1

First, read the instructions about your language:

JavaScript

Python

Java

Rust

Elixir

PHP

Go

C#

Ruby

For this example, we will use the JavaScript (Node.js) language.
2

After, create your Square Cloud config file.

Next, you need to create a configuration file. Learn how in the configuration file guide.

Example for website. (URL: "batman.squareweb.app")
3

And then, ZIP your project.

After creating the configuration file, you need to zip your project.
Planning to deploy via the CLI below? You can skip this step — squarecloud upload zips your project for you.

​
Deploy it 😉

Choose how you want to deploy: through the dashboard (upload your ZIP) or with a single command using the CLI — the same workflow developers know from other modern platforms.

​
Via dashboard

1

Access the Upload Page

Access the upload page and upload your project zip file.
2

Configure Your Environment

After uploading your zip, you will need to configure the name, main file or runtime environment and other settings for your project.
If you are uploading a web project, make sure to select “Web Publication” and set a subdomain to your project.
3

Deploy Your Project

Finally, click on the “Deploy” button to host your project on Square Cloud.
After deployment, you can monitor your project’s status and logs from the dashboard.

Confirm Your App Is Live

Your first deploy usually takes less than a minute. In the dashboard, wait for your application status to show as running and check the logs for any startup errors.
If you deployed a website or API, open https://<your-subdomain>.squareweb.app in your browser — you should see your application responding. If you deployed a bot, send it a command to confirm it is online.

​
Via CLI

To use this method, you need to create a config file named squarecloud.app in the root directory of your project. This file will contain the necessary configuration for your project.
