We're on a mission to close the deployment gap.
We are a team of cloud engineers and educators who saw a simple, massive problem: universities teach computer science theory, but companies hire engineers who can ship code to production. DeployU is the bridge. We built the platform we wish we had as students—a place to learn, build, break, and fix real systems on live cloud infrastructure.
Our mission
We empower engineering students by providing hands-on labs in live AWS, Azure, and GCP environments. No theory-only lectures. No localhost projects. Just real-world deployments that prove you are job-ready.
Traditional computer science education focuses on algorithms, data structures, and theoretical foundations. While these are important, they leave a massive gap: how do you actually deploy and maintain software in production?
DeployU bridges this gap by giving students access to real cloud infrastructure where they can practice deploying applications, managing databases, configuring CI/CD pipelines, and handling the kinds of challenges that engineers face every day in the industry.
- 99% of students graduate without ever deploying a real app.
- The Problem
- To give every student real-world deployment skills.
- The Mission
- November 2025: Built by engineers, for engineers.
- The Launch
Our core beliefs
These principles guide everything we build and every decision we make at DeployU.
- One Goal: Your Job
- Our success is measured by your career success. Every lab, every feature, and every AI-guided hint is designed for one purpose: to get you hired for a top-tier cloud or AI role.
- Learn by Doing
- You don't learn DevOps from a video. You learn it at 2 AM when production is down. We believe in learning by doing: deploy real code, face real errors, and learn to fix them.
- Depth Over Quantity
- We don't have 1,000 courses. We have labs that matter. We focus on production-grade projects that teach the deep, transferable skills companies are desperate for.
- Zero Cost, Zero Fear
- A student's biggest fear is an unexpected cloud bill. DeployU provides real, sandboxed cloud access at a fixed cost. Focus on learning, not on financial anxiety.
- Real Infrastructure
- No simulations. No mock environments. You work with actual AWS, Azure, and GCP infrastructure, gaining hands-on experience that employers value.
- Community Driven
- We foster a supportive community where students help each other, share solutions, and grow together. Your success is our collective mission.
