About Lizard
Lizard is an AI-native cloud deployment platform built specifically for coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor. It provides a machine-readable CLI that enables agents to deploy applications, provision managed Postgres, Redis, and S3 databases, and read structured logs without manual intervention. Deployments run in isolated containers, ensuring security and consistency across environments. The platform supports all major languages and frameworks through an automatic build planner, simplifying setup for developers. Lizard bills per second based on measured CPU and memory usage, making it cost-effective for applications with variable workloads compared to traditional platforms that charge for reserved instances. This pricing model aligns costs directly with actual resource consumption, reducing expenses for bursty or intermittent workloads. The platform is designed to integrate seamlessly into agent-driven workflows, enabling end-to-end automation from code to deployment.

Frequently asked questions about Lizard
How do I deploy from Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor?
Tell your agent to deploy with Lizard. It installs the CLI, runs 'lizard up', and provides machine-readable output for every command, deploy event, and log line, enabling automated error handling and fixes.
Do I need a credit card to try Lizard?
No. The Free plan includes a limited credit amount for your first month without requiring a credit card; you only add one if you choose to upgrade to a paid plan.
Which languages and frameworks does Lizard support?
All major languages and frameworks are supported. Lizard's build planner, lizardpack, automatically detects the stack and generates a multi-stage Dockerfile for deployment.
Can I migrate an app from Railway, Render, or Heroku?
Yes. You can use a coding agent to migrate by installing the Lizard skill and redeploying services, provisioning databases, and importing data with automated support.
Does Lizard support SOC 2 or HIPAA compliance?
SOC 2 and HIPAA compliance are available on the Enterprise plan, along with additional features like SSO/SAML.
How does Lizard's pricing model work?
Lizard bills per second based on measured CPU, memory, and egress usage, ensuring you only pay for active resources and reducing costs for idle or bursty workloads.
