Introduction

Any application of any size, language or framework can be deployed to Hop. Deployments are Ignite's primary abstraction - containers run inside them

The Hop CLI allows you to manage and control every aspect of your Hop projects. It acts as a command-line replacement for the Hop Console with some extra features to support Hop deployments

Overview

Hop CLI supports tab completion for bash, zsh and fish

Since the CLI has a *nix download script it can be easily used in headless / continuous integration environments

Working in CI

Ignite is the pragmatic app deployment platform: deploy and scale any application worldwide.

Gateways allow you to expose your Hop deployments to your project or the internet

Enable zero-downtime, fault tolerant deployments with health checks

Health Checks

Project secrets act as a global secure secret store for each project on Hop. Secrets can be referenced in deployments as environment variables and will automatically be populated when a container starts

Project Secrets

When creating a deployment, you can specify an image from a remote registry (such as Dockerhub or GCR), or you can use the Hop Image Registry

Images

When deploying with GitHub, Hop will automatically infer your build environment and initiate a build for each push to git

Builds

Using the CLI, you can port-forward deployments to access them securely without having to expose them to the public internet

The Hop server-side JS SDK allows you to interact with all Hop products on the server side.

Server-side JS SDK

Channels allows you to easily create direct or grouped realtime message channels between users, server-side applications, IoT devices and more. You can use them to publish realtime events & even store realtime state objects which you can handle using our client-side SDKs.

As well as transient messages, channels can be used as a store for realtime, stateful and persisted state. You can think of it like a realtime database attached to every channel.

Pipe Overview

Pipe allows you to deliver real-time livestreams to users across the globe withour worrying about scale. As a developer, Pipe is easy to integrate - there's only 3 steps to getting your first broadcast going.
