Nitric

About Nitric

Nitric is a cloud-native development platform offering two related products: the Nitric Framework, an open-source infrastructure-from-code tool, and Suga, a deployment platform in early access. The Nitric Framework lets developers define cloud resources such as APIs and storage buckets directly in application code using SDKs for JavaScript, Python, Go, and Dart, then deploy that code to AWS, GCP, or Azure.

Suga is positioned as a way to deploy any application instantly, supporting frameworks including Django, Node, and Laravel, with sub-10-second deployments, a visual infrastructure canvas, and real-time observability. It is accessed through a separate dashboard (dashboard.suga.app).

The product is aimed at developers and teams building backend services who want to manage infrastructure alongside application code rather than through separate cloud consoles. Source code for the Nitric Framework is publicly available, and the company provides documentation, a Discord community, and a blog.
