# Deploy Strapi in One Click with AI

Open source headless CMS for building customizable APIs

## What is Strapi? Why use it?

Strapi is an open-source headless CMS built with Node.js that allows you to create APIs and manage content through a customizable admin panel.
Strapi gives full control over your content architecture, but production deployment requires proper secret management and environment configuration.

## Features

Strapi requires 6 essential environment variables for a secure production setup. These ensure authentication, token security, and encryption work correctly. 
Once added, Strapi runs securely in production mode.

## What's Included

### Strapi Deployment: The Kuberns Way

Deploying Strapi properly requires secure secrets and a production-ready runtime. On Kuberns, the process is easy and straightforward:

- Fork the Strapi template repository for full customisation
- Connect your GitHub repository
- Add the required environment variables
- Click Deploy and your Strapi instance goes live with HTTPS and production configuration ready.
- No manual server setup. No Docker configuration. No infrastructure management

### Why Deploying Strapi Elsewhere Is Not Easy and Ideal

On other platforms, Strapi deployments often require:

- Manual secret generation
- Dockerfile adjustments
- Handling build failures
- Managing scaling and runtime restarts
- Also, the customisation is limited
- Strapi is powerful, but a production-ready setup is not plug-and-play on every platform.

### Built for Customisable Backends

Strapi is not a static app. It is a fully customizable backend system. 
Kuberns ensures:

- Stable, always-on API runtime
- Secure secret handling
- Clean deployment from your own repository
- Predictable infrastructure without manual tuning
- You own the code. You control the CMS. Kuberns runs it reliably.
