HCode runs your web apps, APIs and background workers, and their PostgreSQL and Redis databases, on HostAfrica. Give it a GitHub repository or a .zip of your code and it builds the app, runs it and serves it over HTTPS on an address ending in .hcode.site. You can add your own domains, schedule database backups and invite your team as admins, members or viewers.
There is no public sign-up. You get access by ordering HCode in the HostAfrica client panel, or by accepting an invite from a team that already uses it.
