What is Bahriya?

Bahriya is a container deployment platform that lets you run your applications across multiple global regions without managing any infrastructure. You bring your container image (any OCI-compliant image — built with Docker, Podman, Buildpacks, or anything else); Bahriya handles the servers, networking, DNS, TLS certificates, autoscaling, and billing.

Bahriya is a container deployment platform that lets you run your applications across multiple global regions without managing any infrastructure. You bring your container image (any OCI-compliant image — built with Docker, Podman, Buildpacks, or anything else); Bahriya handles the servers, networking, DNS, TLS certificates, autoscaling, and billing.

What you can do

  • Deploy containers — Point Bahriya at any container image (public or from your own private registry) and it runs it across your chosen regions.
  • Manage secrets — Store environment variables and credentials securely. They are encrypted at rest and injected into your containers at runtime.
  • Set up DNS automatically — Every container gets a hostname out of the box. You can also add a vanity subdomain or bring your own custom domain.
  • Scale automatically — Define a minimum and maximum replica count and Bahriya will scale your container up and down based on CPU or memory load.
  • Route traffic globally — Deploy to multiple regions and use round-robin or geo-based DNS routing to send users to the nearest instance.

How it works at a high level

  1. You create a project to group related resources.
  2. You add a registry (if your image is in a private registry).
  3. You store sensitive config in secrets.
  4. You create a container — specifying the image, port, resources, regions, and any secrets or environment variables it needs.
  5. Bahriya provisions your container across your chosen regions and your application is live within minutes.

From that point on, any change you make (updating the image, adjusting resources, adding a region) triggers a new deployment automatically.

Who is it for?

Bahriya is designed for teams that want global container deployment without the operational overhead. If you have a containerised application and want to run it globally with proper DNS, TLS, secrets management, and autoscaling — Bahriya handles all of that for you.
