Zylo is a lightweight, distributed build-and-deployment platform inspired by modern edge-first hosting systems. It automates the process of building, deploying, and serving web applications from source code to production.

The goal of Zylo is simplicity, transparency, and control — no magic, no hidden abstractions.

• Accepts source code via Git or upload
• Runs isolated builds in sandboxed environments
• Generates production-ready artifacts
• Stores build outputs in a distributed storage layer
• Serves deployments through a routing layer
• Provides unique deployment URLs per build
• Streams real-time build logs and status updates

• Infrastructure should be understandable
• Builds should be reproducible
• Deployments should be immutable
• Logs should be accessible
• Systems should fail loudly, not silently

Zylo is composed of independent services:

• Ingest Service – receives deployment requests
• Build Service – executes builds in isolated containers
• Storage Service – persists build artifacts
• Deploy Service – manages versions and rollbacks
• Routing Layer – maps domains to deployments
• Log Stream – streams build and runtime logs

Each service communicates through APIs or events.

• Backend: Node.js + TypeScript
• Build Isolation: Docker
• Queue / Events: Kafka or Redis Streams
• Storage: Object storage (S3-compatible)
• Database: PostgreSQL
• Reverse Proxy: Nginx
• Runtime: Linux-based containers

1. User triggers a deployment
2. Zylo validates project configuration
3. Source code is pulled into a sandbox
4. Dependencies are installed
5. Build command is executed
6. Artifacts are generated
7. Artifacts are uploaded to storage
8. A deployment record is created
9. Routing is updated
10. Deployment goes live

• Deterministic builds
• Versioned deployments
• Rollback support
• Real-time build logs
• Preview URLs per deployment
• Stateless edge routing
• Horizontal scalability
