🔀Using Multiple Ports in Your App Deployment

Learn how to use multiple ports in your app deployment on Clouddley.

Until now, when you deployed an app on Clouddley, you could only publish one port. That worked fine for simple apps, but many modern applications need more than one way to connect.

We’ve listened, and we’ve made it better. Clouddley now supports multiple ports. This means you can run apps that expose both HTTP and gRPC, or any combination your workload needs, without extra workarounds.

Why this matters

Developers often build apps that serve different types of traffic. For example:

• A web app that uses HTTP for users and gRPC for internal services

• An API that exposes REST on one port and an admin dashboard on another

• A service that needs to handle both secure and non-secure connections

With multiple port support, Clouddley makes these setups simple. You don’t have to split workloads or hack around the limitations anymore.

How it works

When you deploy your app, you can now define more than one port. Each port can handle its own traffic type, and Clouddley will manage the routing for you. It’s as easy as adding another port in your configuration.

Example: Using Multiple Ports

In this example, your app needs to handle traffic on both HTTP (80) and HTTPS (443). You can set this up during app deployment with Clouddley.

In Step 4: Configure App settings. Add both ports to the ports field.

What’s next

This is part of our bigger goal: to give you flexibility without complexity. Multiple port support helps you build and scale apps the way they’re meant to run.
