How It Works
ACI publishes through hosting adapters, lightweight integrations that know how to deploy rendered artifacts and routing configuration to a specific platform. The adapter receives the output of the publish pipeline (static HTML, compiled JSON, route tables, and CDN configuration) and deploys it to your infrastructure. Once deployed, your hosting platform takes over entirely. The CDN serves your content with global edge caching. The edge functions run in your account. You get the full performance and availability of these mature platforms without building anything new.Available Adapters
AWS CloudFront + S3
AWS CloudFront + S3
Static pages and release artifacts served from S3 through CloudFront’s global CDN, with active-release pointers and edge routing handled by AWS-native infrastructure. Battle-tested infrastructure trusted by millions of sites.
Vercel
Vercel
Deploy to Vercel’s edge network with SSR-oriented release support. ACI stages the page JSON and route metadata your Vercel-hosted frontend reads at request time, so if you already use Vercel, ACI plugs into your existing setup.
Local Filesystem
Local Filesystem
Run the full release lifecycle on your own machine, no cloud account required. Perfect for local development, smoke testing, and validating a new adapter against the same publish flow production uses.
Why This Matters
World-class serving infrastructure
World-class serving infrastructure
When a user loads your site, the request goes to your CDN and your edge functions. These platforms are purpose-built for high availability and low latency at global scale. Your site’s performance comes directly from their infrastructure, with no extra hops or intermediaries.
You keep your existing infrastructure
You keep your existing infrastructure
Already using CloudFront? Vercel? ACI deploys to what you have. No migration to a proprietary hosting platform. No new vendor in your serving path. Your ops team manages the same infrastructure they already know.
Proven scale
Proven scale
CloudFront and Vercel handle billions of requests daily across millions of sites. Your site gets the same global distribution, edge caching, and availability guarantees that these platforms provide to everyone. ACI leverages that scale rather than replicating it.
Immutable releases on your infrastructure
Immutable releases on your infrastructure
Every release is an immutable artifact deployed to your hosting platform. Previous releases remain available on the CDN, making rollback a simple pointer change. Your ops team can manage releases with standard infrastructure tooling.
