Frequently asked questions

How do I give Devin access to Elestio?

Install the Elestio CLI with npm install -g elestio and authenticate with elestio login. Devin can install and configure the CLI autonomously in its cloud environment.

What can I deploy with Devin + Elestio?

Anything from Elestio's catalog of 400+ open-source templates — databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB), CMS (WordPress, Ghost), development tools (GitLab, Gitea), monitoring (Grafana, Prometheus), and more. You can also deploy custom apps from GitHub with CI/CD pipelines.

Can Devin manage existing Elestio services?

Yes! Devin can list, manage, resize, and delete your existing services. It can also configure backups, firewall rules, SSL certificates, and check billing — all autonomously.
