Kilo Deploy: One-Click Next.js Deployments Directly From Kilo Code

TL;DR

  • Kilo Deploy: one-click flow that builds a repo, uploads artifacts, provisions infrastructure, streams build logs, and returns a public URL.
  • GitHub integration & zero config: pushes to a connected branch trigger auto rebuilds; detects package manager (npm, pnpm, yarn, bun) and generates build settings.
  • Next.js support: compatible with Next.js 14 & 15, Next.js 16 planned.
  • Deployment history and debugging: timestamps, logs, URLs retained; one-click redeploys and failure logs.
  • Config and backends: environment variables with encrypted secrets; no DB hosting but integrates with Supabase, PlanetScale, Neon, or any PostgreSQL instance.
  • Availability & start links: free to use for a limited period; available today. Onboard via https://app.kilo.ai/integrations and https://app.kilo.ai/deploy; docs at https://kilo.ai/docs; support at http://hi@kilo.ai.

Kilo Deploy brings one-click Next.js deployments into Kilo Code

Kilo has added an integrated deployment flow to Kilo Code that moves projects from editor to live URL without leaving the platform. The feature targets modern React stacks and aims to remove the typical context switching of configuring hosting, webhooks, and CI/CD pipelines.

One click to a public URL

Kilo Deploy builds a connected repository, uploads artifacts, provisions infrastructure, and streams build logs in real time. Once the process completes, a public URL is provided for sharing or testing. The system handles the orchestration so that developers do not need to create YAML files or manage separate hosting dashboards.

Built to fit existing workflows

The deployment experience centers on developer workflows already in place:

  • GitHub integration: pushes to a connected branch trigger automatic rebuilds, removing the need to configure webhooks or external pipelines.
  • Zero configuration: Kilo Code detects the project’s package manager — npm, pnpm, yarn, or bun — and runs the appropriate build steps. Deployment settings are generated automatically.
  • Full deployment history: timestamps, logs, and URLs for each build are preserved, with one-click redeploys for prior builds and access to failure logs for debugging.

Supported stacks and common use cases

Kilo Deploy currently supports Next.js 14 & 15, with support for Next.js 16 planned. That scope covers a large portion of contemporary React applications, from single-page prototypes to full-stack Next.js apps.

Practical scenarios highlighted include:

  • quick prototypes that can be shared as a working URL rather than screenshots,
  • staging or preview environments for team review or client feedback,
  • rapid iteration during active development, where automatic rebuilds keep live instances in sync with commits.

Configuration, secrets, and databases

Environment variables can be added during deployment through a simple key-value interface. Values can be marked as secrets, which are stored encrypted. Kilo Deploy does not offer built-in database hosting; it integrates with external database services such as Supabase, PlanetScale, Neon, or any PostgreSQL instance, allowing deployments to connect to existing backends.

Pricing and availability

Kilo Deploy is free to use for a limited period at launch. Kilo will introduce official pricing tiers later; during the introductory window the platform may manage or pause projects that consume extraordinary resources or exhibit unusual traffic patterns to preserve stability.

Kilo Deploy is available today for all Kilo Code users.

Getting started

Onboarding from Kilo Code takes only a few steps:

  1. Connect GitHub via Integrations: https://app.kilo.ai/integrations → GitHub → Configure.
  2. Open the Deploy tab in the Organization dashboard or Profile: https://app.kilo.ai/deploy.
  3. Click New Deployment, select repository and branch.
  4. Hit Deploy and watch logs stream until the deployment URL appears.

Documentation and support are available at https://kilo.ai/docs and via the support contact listed in the announcement: hi@kilo.ai.
