# Apollo Deploy > Apollo Deploy is an open-source deployment and application-operations platform for humans, CLIs, CI pipelines, APIs, and AI agents. It creates a readable plan before production changes, keeps approval separate from proposal, verifies health, and records every action. Apollo Deploy and Apollo Signal are two separate Apollo products: - **Apollo Deploy**: controlled application deployment and production operations. - **Apollo Signal**: transactional email API, SMTP relay, delivery events, and deliverability tooling. Current availability: Apollo Deploy is in early access. Apollo Signal has a free Spark plan described at [pricing.md](https://apollodeploy.com/pricing.md). ## Extended AI reference For detailed product knowledge, capabilities, workflows, FAQs, security boundaries, use cases, pricing, migrations, and comparison guidance, read [llms-full.txt](https://apollodeploy.com/llms-full.txt). ## Apollo Deploy summary Apollo Deploy connects source code to a running application through a controlled loop: 1. Connect a Git repository, upload an application, or use the CLI or API. 2. Inspect a deterministic, human-readable and machine-readable deployment plan. 3. Apply approved builds, runtime, and traffic changes. 4. Verify health, errors, latency, resources, and release signals. 5. Recommend or execute authorised scaling, traffic, restart, and rollback actions. It is not a source-control system, CI/CD runner, monitoring replacement, or feature-flag system. It connects those systems into a shared plan, policy, health, and audit workflow. AI agents use the same API and permission model as other callers; new agents start with read and propose access, while broader actions require granted scope or approval. ## Apollo Signal summary [Apollo Signal](https://apollodeploy.com/signal) is a transactional email API for password resets, receipts, verification emails, and alerts. It supports REST API, typed SDKs, SMTP relay on port 587 with STARTTLS, sandbox testing, scoped test and live keys, HMAC-signed webhooks, retries, domain verification, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, automatic suppressions, engagement tracking, and real-time delivery events. Signal starts with 3,000 emails/month free without a credit card. Published monthly plans, limits, overage rates, and enterprise features are in [pricing.md](https://apollodeploy.com/pricing.md). ## Canonical pages - Website: https://apollodeploy.com/ - Apollo Deploy open source: https://apollodeploy.com/open-source - Apollo Deploy infrastructure ownership: https://apollodeploy.com/byoc - Apollo Signal: https://apollodeploy.com/signal - Signal Bring Your Own Cloud: https://apollodeploy.com/signal/byok - Signal provider comparison: https://apollodeploy.com/signal/compare - Pricing: https://apollodeploy.com/pricing.md - Deployment and agent documentation: https://docs.apollodeploy.com/ - Signal SMTP documentation: https://docs.apollodeploy.com/signal/smtp ## Source and freshness This file and `llms-full.txt` summarize the public Apollo marketing content.
