Lobu Cloud

Lobu Cloud is the managed deployment option for teams that want Lobu without operating a server, containers, Kubernetes, ingress, database migrations, or chat-platform webhooks.

When to use Lobu Cloud

Section titled “When to use Lobu Cloud”

Use Lobu Cloud when you want:

  • A hosted public URL for Slack, Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp, Teams, Google Chat, and REST API webhooks.
  • Managed runtime updates and database migrations.
  • The same admin UI for agents, providers, skills, platform connections, and tool policy.
  • Lobu-managed OAuth and integration credentials so workers never receive raw secrets.
  • A fast path to production without provisioning Postgres or Kubernetes.
