Quickstart

Phemeral deploys your Python backends automatically. Connect a GitHub repository, push your code, and get a live URL.

1. Create an Account

Sign up at phemeral.dev. When your account is created, Phemeral automatically provisions an organization with a default project called Launchpad and three default environments: Production, Staging, and Development.

2. Connect Your GitHub Account

1. Navigate to User Settings.
2. Click Connect in the GitHub section.
3. Authorize the Phemeral GitHub App on your GitHub account and grant it access to the repositories you want to deploy.

3. Connect a Repository to Your Project

1. Open your project and go to the Settings tab.
2. Select the repository you want to deploy from the list of accessible repositories.
3. Map a branch (e.g. main) to an environment (e.g. Production).

4. Deploy

Push a commit to your mapped branch. Phemeral automatically:

• Detects your Python framework, package manager, and project structure
• Builds and deploys your application
• Assigns a live URL on .phemeral.app

View the build status and logs from the deployment page in your dashboard.
