Specific

The cloud platform built for coding agents

Visit Specific

Specific is a cloud platform designed for coding agents that need to both write application code and manage the infrastructure required to run it. It addresses the gap where agents can generate software but struggle with defining resources, setting up local environments, deploying to production, and debugging issues. The platform provides a structured way for agents to handle the full lifecycle of an application, from initial definition through to production operations.

The platform includes modules for defining resources via configuration, local development with one-command environment setup, deployment through a single command or GitHub integration, and observability for querying logs and metrics. It supports frontend frameworks, services including APIs and workers, Postgres databases with autoscaling and migrations, real-time sync, vector storage, S3-compatible object storage, and durable workflows powered by Temporal. Environments include dedicated staging and preview environments with copy-on-write data branching, along with secrets management.

Specific is intended for developers and teams using coding agents to build and deploy applications. It is packaged in a tiered model: a free plan for hobby projects with limited compute and storage, a Pro plan for production applications with usage-based billing, a Scale plan for growing teams with no compute or storage limits, and an Enterprise edition with custom deployment options including bring-your-own-cloud and on-premises setups. Local development is free, and paid plans include usage credits.
