What is Nexlayer?

Nexlayer is an agentic cloud platform where AI agents deploy, scale, and manage your applications autonomously—you describe what you want, and the platform handles the rest.

No Kubernetes expertise. No YAML sprawl. No 3 AM pages. Just ship it.

The Agentic Difference

Traditional cloud: You write infrastructure code → You debug infrastructure code → You maintain infrastructure code forever.

Agentic cloud: You describe intent → Agents handle infrastructure → You focus on your product.

Traditional DevOps	Nexlayer
Write Dockerfiles, Kubernetes manifests, Terraform	Describe your app in plain English or simple YAML
Debug networking, DNS, certificates, ingress	Agents configure networking automatically
Monitor dashboards, set up alerts, respond to pages	Agents detect and fix issues before you notice
Estimate capacity, over-provision "just in case"	Agents scale precisely to demand

---

What Lives Under the Hood

Three specialized agents — each with a single job — sit between your coding agent and your production infrastructure. One protocol connects them all.

Your coding agent sees one connection and one result. The three agents handle all complexity internally — your context window stays clean, your shipping loop stays fast.

---

Three Anxieties We Eliminate

1. Deployment Anxiety

"What if I break production?"

Every deployment gets its own isolated environment with a unique URL. Test it, share it, verify it—then promote to production when ready. Rollback is one click. Agents validate health before routing traffic.

2. Scaling Anxiety

"What if we get featured on Hacker News?"

Agents monitor traffic patterns and scale automatically. No capacity planning. No manual intervention. Your app handles the spike while you enjoy the moment.

3. Bill Shock

"What if I wake up to a $50,000 bill?"

We built explicit protection into the platform:

Status	What It Means
🟢 Green	Running normally, within your credit ceiling
🟡 Amber	Approaching limit—we email you with options
🔴 Red	Credit ceiling reached—apps are paused, not deleted

The guarantee: Nothing is lost without your permission. Your apps pause gracefully. Your data stays intact. You decide what happens next—add credits, optimize, or wind down. No surprise charges. No panic. No lost work.

Quick Start

Connect Nexlayer to your AI coding assistant:

npx @nexlayer/mcp-install

Then just tell your assistant: "Deploy this to Nexlayer"

That's it. One command. Your agent handles the rest.

FAQ

Is Nexlayer open source?

No. Nexlayer is a managed platform. This repository contains documentation, examples, and community resources—not the platform source code.

What happens to my data if I stop paying?

Apps pause. Data persists. We email you. You have 30 days to export or resume. Nothing is deleted without explicit confirmation from you.

Can I use my own Kubernetes cluster?

Currently, Nexlayer runs on our managed infrastructure. Bring-your-own-cloud options are on the roadmap.

How is this different from Vercel/Railway/Render?

Those platforms require you to configure deployments. Nexlayer agents figure out the configuration. You describe intent; agents handle implementation. It's the difference between writing infrastructure and describing outcomes.

Does Nexlayer use MCP?

Yes. The Nexlayer Agent Protocol is built on Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open standard created by Anthropic. We've extended it with Nexlayer's embedded agent layer — so your coding tool stays compatible, and Nexlayer handles the rest.
