# LayerRail documentation

> Developer-first cloud infrastructure docs for virtual machines, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, networking, GitHub runners, and AI inference.

LayerRail is a developer-first cloud infrastructure platform for teams that want simple compute without losing control of the important parts.

Start with a virtual machine, then grow into managed PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, private networking, load balancers, GitHub runners, and AI inference as your project becomes more serious.

## How the docs are organized

LayerRail docs follow the same practical shape as a serious cloud provider:

* **Quick start** pages show the shortest path to a working resource.
* **Product docs** explain each service and the common operations around it.
* **API docs** cover authentication, request shape, pagination, and automation.
* **Security and architecture** pages explain how the control plane is organized.

<Tip>
  If you are new to LayerRail, begin with [Managed services](/quick-start/managed-services), then read the service page for the product you want to deploy.
