Deploy powerful apps without touching infrastructure. Just set your variables. We handle the orchestration.

One-Click Apps is Esadax’s frictionless deployment system that lets you launch fully configured containerized applications with a single click — powered by our secure container orchestration engine and OCI image support.

Whether you're spinning up a blog, dashboard, database, analytics platform, or headless CMS — One-Click Apps eliminate the complexity of provisioning, deploying, and scaling infrastructure. Set a few environment variables. Click deploy. You're live.


🧩 What Are One-Click Apps?

At its core, One-Click Apps is about simplifying operations for developers and teams. It leverages containerized applications based on trusted OCI images and automates everything around them:

  • Container provisioning
  • Secure routing & domain assignment
  • Persistent environment variables
  • Automatic TLS and scaling

You choose the app. We handle the architecture.


🔧 How It Works

  1. Pick an App Choose from a curated catalog of apps — everything from databases to dashboards, tools to templates.

  2. Set Environment Variables Customize the deployment with just a few fields: PROJECT_NAME, USERNAME, PASSWORD, and app-specific configs.

  3. Click Deploy Behind the scenes, Esadax orchestrates containers, volumes, secrets, and networking.

  4. Instant Access You’ll receive a unique URL (e.g. your-project.esadax.sh) where your app is live — secured and ready to use.


🚀 Use Cases

One-Click Apps are perfect for:

  • Internal tools for your product or support teams
  • Demo environments for your clients or team
  • Microservices in a multi-app architecture
  • Proof-of-concept deployments with real data and users

Whether you’re building, testing, or collaborating — launching tools should never be a bottleneck.


🧠 Built on Containers, Driven by Simplicity

Under the hood, One-Click Apps are powered by:

  • OCI-compliant Docker images
  • Esadax’s secure container orchestration engine
  • Dynamic service discovery and routing
  • Built-in TLS, secrets management, and health checks

You don’t need to write Kubernetes manifests, fiddle with YAML, or configure reverse proxies. It just works.


🛡️ Safe by Default

  • TLS-secured by default
  • Private or public access options
  • No credentials ever exposed in URLs
  • Built-in rate limiting and network isolation

Your apps are deployed on isolated infrastructure and accessed only via secure endpoints.


⚙️ Example: Deploying a Headless CMS

Let’s say you want to deploy a headless CMS like Strapi:

  1. Select Strapi from the app catalog

  2. Fill in:

    • PROJECT_NAME=strapi-site
    • ADMIN_EMAIL=you@domain.com
    • ADMIN_PASSWORD=securepass123
    • JWT_SECRET=generated_secret
  3. Click Deploy

  4. Done — your CMS is live at strapi-site.esadax.sh


🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Built for Teams

  • Shareable URLs for every deployment
  • Team-based access control
  • Application secrets never exposed to collaborators
  • Role-specific environments for dev/stage/prod

Give your team tools without the operational overhead. Preview apps, test APIs, manage dashboards — instantly.


📈 Focus on What Matters

You write code. You run your project. Let Esadax run the rest.

  • No Dockerfiles required
  • No orchestration complexity
  • No downtime between updates

Perfect for solo devs, startups, and scale-ups — One-Click Apps bring zero-to-live into the modern age.
