Services
Virtual machines
General purpose compute for apps, services, workers, and custom infrastructure.
Managed PostgreSQL
PostgreSQL instances with connection details, networking controls, and operational visibility.
Managed Kubernetes
Kubernetes clusters for container workloads and team deployment flows.
Networking
Private subnets, firewalls, public IPs, service hostnames, and load balancers.
GitHub runners
On-demand runner infrastructure for GitHub Actions workflows.
AI inference
Project-scoped model endpoints, API keys, and a playground for testing prompts.
Console model
LayerRail uses a few core objects across the platform:| Object | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Account | Your identity and login methods. |
| Project | A boundary for resources, billing, access, and audit logs. |
| Location | The region where infrastructure is provisioned. |
| Resource | A VM, database, cluster, subnet, firewall, load balancer, or runner. |
| API token | A personal access token used to call the LayerRail API. |
Where to start
Create or open a project
Sign in to the LayerRail console and open the project where you want to work.
Choose a first service
Start with Virtual machines if you need direct compute, Managed PostgreSQL if you need a database, or Kubernetes if you are deploying containers.
Add networking
Use private subnets, firewalls, and load balancers when the service needs controlled access or a public endpoint.
LayerRail currently focuses on practical cloud primitives: compute, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, networking, runners, and inference. App deployment documentation will be added as that product surface is finalized.
