About Streamlit Cloud
Streamlit Community Cloud is Streamlit's free managed hosting for data apps. Connect a GitHub repository, pick the app's entry file, and it deploys to a public streamlit.app URL, then redeploys automatically whenever the connected branch changes, with no servers, containers, or build pipeline to configure.
It is the default way to share a Streamlit app publicly. Each app gets a secrets manager for API keys and credentials, dependency installation from requirements.txt or other package files, logs in the browser, and viewer-access controls for private apps. Community Cloud is free: it hosts unlimited public apps plus one private app, all in US data centres.
Resources are modest by design. Each app gets limited CPU and memory, apps go to sleep after a period without traffic and wake on the next visit, and there is no custom domain or GPU support. That suits demos, portfolios, teaching material, and lightweight internal tools rather than production workloads.
Streamlit has been part of Snowflake since 2022, and Community Cloud has no paid tier. Teams that need private apps at scale, more compute, or governed data access move to Streamlit in Snowflake, Snowflake's paid native runtime, or host the app themselves on a platform such as Hugging Face Spaces, Render, or a container service.
