Introduction to Guara Cloud
Guara Cloud is a Brazilian cloud platform built for developers who want to ship their applications without worrying about infrastructure. You connect your repository, configure a few options, and your service is live with automatic HTTPS and its own subdomain.
What is Guara Cloud?
Guara Cloud is a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) that lets you deploy containerized applications quickly and easily. All billing is done in Brazilian Reais (BRL), with no currency exchange surprises.
Instead of configuring servers, networks, and certificates manually, you focus on your code. We take care of the rest.
Key features
- Automatic deploys via GitHub — connect your repository and every push to the configured branch triggers a new deploy automatically.
- Free HTTPS — all applications receive automatic SSL certificates with no additional configuration.
- Included subdomain — each service gets a URL in the format
your-service-your-project.guaracloud.com. - Custom domains — point your own domain to your service with simple DNS configuration.
- Scalability — adjust the number of replicas for your service based on demand.
- Environment variables — manage secrets and configurations securely through the dashboard.
- Persistent volumes — store data that needs to survive between deploys.
- Billing in BRL — all plans are billed in Brazilian Reais, including a free plan to get started.

- Developers who want to deploy web apps, APIs, and microservices without managing infrastructure.
