Northflank

Unified CI/CD and deployment platform with GPU support

freemiumupdated Apr 21, 2026

Northflank is a unified platform for CI/CD, deployment, and infrastructure management that supports both traditional web applications and GPU-native AI workloads. It provides preview environments with full-stack database and AI model inclusion, BYOC deployment on any cloud, built-in observability, and automated scaling. Handles the complete deployment lifecycle from Git push to production with support for containers, databases, and GPU instances.

Northflank consolidates the fragmented DevOps stack into a single platform handling CI/CD, deployment, database management, and observability. Unlike tools that focus on just one layer, Northflank manages the entire deployment lifecycle — from building container images on Git push, through staging and preview environments, to production deployment with autoscaling and monitoring. The platform supports BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud) deployment on AWS, GCP, Azure, or bare metal, giving teams full control over infrastructure while abstracting away operational complexity.

The GPU-native support distinguishes Northflank from traditional PaaS platforms. Teams can deploy AI workloads alongside web applications in the same platform, with preview environments that include the actual ML models and databases rather than mocked dependencies. This eliminates the environment drift that causes AI applications to behave differently in staging versus production. The platform provides GPU instance scheduling, model deployment templates, and resource management for mixed CPU/GPU workloads.

Northflank offers usage-based pricing with a generous free tier for getting started. It includes built-in secrets management, environment variable handling, database provisioning for PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, and more, along with observability features for logs, metrics, and alerts. For teams deploying both traditional applications and AI workloads, Northflank provides the unified platform experience that eliminates the need to manage separate toolchains for different workload types.
