# Keelson

> Keelson is a PaaS for deploying and operating internal apps safely, especially apps created with AI coding tools.

This file is a curated map of Keelson documentation for LLMs. For deployment constraints and requirements, refer to the Keelson Deploy Spec first. For configuration, refer to the keelson.yaml reference.

## What is Keelson

- A PaaS for deploying web apps and scheduled jobs written in Python, Node.js (JavaScript/TypeScript), and Go
- Built-in authentication and access control for internal and team apps
- Designed so that non-developers can deploy and operate apps using AI agents such as Claude Code and Codex without managing infrastructure directly
- Pricing is based on app capacity and developers rather than end-user seats. Viewer count does not affect billing in the same way as seat-based SaaS
