Simple Container

Simple Container (SC) is an open-source CLI for declaring and deploying cloud infrastructure as YAML. A server.yaml describes shared infrastructure (databases, queues, secrets, registrars, deployment templates); a client.yaml describes a service that consumes it. SC translates both into Pulumi calls and ships them to AWS, GCP, or any conformant Kubernetes cluster.

Start here

  • Installation — get the sc CLI on your machine.
  • Quick Start — deploy a first service end-to-end.
  • Main Concepts — parent stacks, service stacks, and how they compose.
  • Reference — full list of resources, templates, and config keys.
  • Guides — task-focused walkthroughs (ECS Fargate, GKE Autopilot, pure Kubernetes, secrets, migration).

Forge — built on SC

Forge is our AI workflow engine. It emits SC YAML natively via the MCP server, so if you drive deployments through Forge, every workflow run produces the same server.yaml / client.yaml shapes documented here. The integration is first-class — Forge speaks SC primitives, not a translation layer.
