How deployments work
When you deploy an application:
- Connect Repository - Link your Git repository
- Auto-Detect - Temps detects your language and framework
- Build - Your app is built into a container
- Deploy - Container starts with your environment variables
- SSL - Automatic SSL certificate is issued
- Go Live - Your app is accessible at your domain
See Deployment Pipeline for the full pipeline breakdown, including build caching, rollback behavior, and zero-downtime deploys.
Data & analytics
What gets tracked
- Every Request - All HTTP requests to your apps
- User Sessions - Visitor and session tracking
- Errors - All application errors with context
- Performance - Response times and metrics
Analytics dashboard
- Real-Time Views - See activity as it happens
- Historical Data - Analyze trends over time
- Funnel Analysis - Track user conversion paths
- Custom Reports - Build reports for your needs
See Data Flow for details on how data moves from your apps through the proxy and into the analytics store.
Security & privacy
Your data, your control
- Self-Hosted - All data stays on your infrastructure
- Encrypted Storage - Sensitive data encrypted at rest
- Secure Transport - TLS 1.3 for all connections
- Access Control - Fine-grained permissions
Security features you can use
- IP Whitelisting - Restrict access to specific IPs
- CAPTCHA - Protect against bots
