Defang

What is Defang?

Defang is an AI-powered DevOps agent designed to simplify the deployment of agentic applications across multiple cloud platforms. By leveraging Docker Compose, Defang eliminates the complexity of traditional infrastructure-as-code (IaC) tools like Terraform, allowing developers to deploy applications in minutes rather than hours or days.

Key Features of Defang

1. Seamless Multi-Cloud Deployment

• Automatic handling of compute, storage, networking, and security settings.

2. IDE Integration

• Direct deployment from popular IDEs such as VS Code, Cursor, and Claude Code.
• Built-in failure detection and automatic fixes to ensure smooth deployments.

3. Framework Flexibility

• Supports a wide range of agentic frameworks including CrewAI, LangGraph, AutoGen, n8n, and Strands.
• No need to modify existing codebases; Defang works with your current setup.

4. Production-Ready Infrastructure
