Starlight™ Hyperlift updates

August 2026

Command line access for Hyperlift

Manage your Hyperlift apps directly from the terminal with the new Hyperlift CLI. Built on the live Hyperlift API, the CLI gives you another way to work with Hyperlift without opening the dashboard. It uses the same authentication and permissions while fitting naturally into existing developer workflows, including shell scripts, Makefiles, CI/CD pipelines, and AI coding agents.

• Manage Hyperlift apps directly from your terminal

• Skip the dashboard and extra browser tabs

• Integrate Hyperlift into scripts, Makefiles, and CI/CD pipelines

• Use the same secure API, authentication, and permissions as the Hyperlift dashboard

• Enable AI coding agents to work with Hyperlift through the CLI

This update gives developers a faster, more flexible way to integrate Hyperlift into the tools and workflows they already use

See how to install and configure the CLI here: https://github.com/NCCloud/hyperlift-cli/blob/main/README.md .

OpenClaw template

We've added a new OpenClaw Hyperlift template, making it easier than ever to deploy and run OpenClaw AI assistant on Hyperlift. The template automates the installation and configuration process, allowing you to deploy a preconfigured OpenClaw environment in just a few clicks.

By integrating OpenClaw directly into the Hyperlift Unboxing flow, you can get started quickly without needing to manually install dependencies or configure infrastructure.

The OpenClaw template can be installed during the Unboxing process or directly from Hyperlift Manager on Medium, Large, and Extra Large plans, and provides a preconfigured deployment that includes:

• Automated OpenClaw installation and setup

• A ready-to-use OpenClaw environment

• Required resources and persistent storage configuration

• Access to the OpenClaw dashboard after deployment

This update removes the technical complexity of manually setting up OpenClaw, helping you get started faster with fewer steps.

Preconfigured templates also reduce the risk of setup errors, and let you focus on building AI-powered workflows instead of configuring infrastructure.

Hyperlift Monitoring

We’ve introduced Hyperlift Monitoring, giving you real-time visibility into your application’s past and present resource usage directly from the Hyperlift dashboard.

You can now track performance metrics through clear, interactive graphs, helping you better understand how your app is performing and when it may be approaching plan limits.

You can find this new feature in Hyperlift Managerby clicking on Manage, then selecting Monitoring in the side panel menu.Hyperlift Monitoring allows you to track:

• CPU usage

• RAM usage

• Ephemeral disk usage

• Bandwidth consumption

By default, monitoring graphs load with a 1-hour time range, you can filter to view data from up to 14 days in the past.

All metrics are displayed in easy-to-read visual graphs to help you quickly assess performance trends.

Prepaid billing model

Hyperlift now supports a prepaid billing option, offering monthly, quarterly, and yearly billing cycles. This model provides an alternative to pay-as-you-go usage for teams working within fixed budgets or procurement processes.

The update enables more predictable cost management and creates additional flexibility for how Hyperlift is adopted across different project timelines. Prepaid plans also help streamline internal approvals by supporting upfront invoicing:

• Get predictable spending for projects requiring pre-approved budgets or upfront invoicing.

• Enjoy a 7-day free trial period to evaluate Hyperlift before committing to a plan.

• Align your billing cycles with different deployment or development schedules.

Introducing Hyperlift: our new cloud development platform

We're excited to announce the launch of Hyperlift, a powerful new platform in the Starlight™ Cloud suite that lets you deploy containerized apps quickly, without touching infrastructure.

All you need to do is connect to GitHub, and Hyperlift will deploy your app from any GitHub repo. There’s no need to deal with servers, YAML files, or DevOps.

What’s more, Hyperlift uses a pay-as-you-go model, with billing starting once your app is live. With rates from just $0.0005/hour, it’s an affordable option for solo devs, students, and indie hackers.

• Deploy in seconds, just push to GitHub

• Connect custom domains with ease

• Free SSL certificates

• Real-time logs and secure setup

• Transparent pricing. Only pay for what you use

But this is just the beginning. Watch the new features to come:

• Autoscaling for dynamic workloads

• Real-time resource monitoring

• Version and build history

• Image vulnerability scanning
