The developer ecosystem that goes from
We build the framework, the applications, and the platformthat ships them — so you don't have to bolt five vendors together to get one product live. Open where it counts, AI-native throughout, and free to start across every piece.
Most “platforms” are a logo on topof someone else’s infrastructure.
MonkeysCloud is different. We wrote the framework our applications run on. We built the CMS on that framework. We run the email infrastructure ourselves. And we ship all of it through a platform we operate end-to-end.
One set of conventions, one mental model, one team accountablefrom the request pipeline to the DNS record. When something breaks, there’s no finger-pointing between vendors — it’s all us.
The Ecosystem
Four products. One foundation.
Each works standalone. Together, they’re a full path from idea to traffic.
The Developer Platform · monkeys.cloud
Ship to production. Free. AI-powered.
Git hosting, task management, multi-stack hosting, and auto-deploy — all from one dashboard, with AI reviewing every pull request before your team even opens it. Every project gets 2 free compute instances and 2 free databases with custom domains and auto-SSL.
The PHP 8.4 Framework · monkeyslegion.com
PHP, reimagined for the AI era.
MonkeysLegion is a modular, PSR-compliant framework built on PHP 8.4 property hooks, a compiled DI container, and 28 focused packages — the speed of a micro-framework with the batteries of a full-stack one, and no runtime magic.
composer create-project monkeyscloud/monkeyslegion-skeleton my-app
The Code-First CMS · monkeyscms.com
Drupal-grade structure. WordPress-simple editing.
MonkeysCMS gives you real content modeling — content types, fields, relationships, taxonomies, permissions — with the usability teams actually want, all from a code-first approach on a clean relational schema.
Transactional Email API · monkeysmail.com
Transactional email that ships at developer speed.
A drop-in API, real-time tracking, and deliverability that doesn't fight you. Add a domain, copy three DNS records, and send — your first 4,500 emails a month are free, forever. No credit card, no demo calls.
How it works together
Build it on the framework. Manage content with the CMS. Send mail through the API. Deploy it on the platform.
Scaffold
Start a MonkeysLegion app, or stand up MonkeysCMS for content-heavy sites.
Wire in email
Add MonkeysMail for transactional email — welcome flows, receipts, notifications.
Add AI
When you need intelligence: routing, pipelines, and guardrails are already in the framework with Apex.
Deploy
Push to MonkeysCloud — auto-detected, AI-reviewed, deployed in seconds with a custom domain and SSL.
One ecosystem, one set of conventions, one team behind all of it.
Who it’s for
Built for teams that ship.
AI-native product teams
Apex makes PHP a first-class AI citizen: multi-provider routing, guardrails, and crews in one package.
API-first startups
Attribute routing + DTO validation + OpenAPI + JWT = a full REST API in a day, deployed in minutes.
Agencies & multi-site shops
Model content cleanly in MonkeysCMS, run a dozen sites from one platform dashboard, mostly on free instances.
High-throughput services
A lean framework and a platform tuned for fast, low-overhead deploys.
Modern PHP shops
PHP 8.4 property hooks, strict types, attribute-first everything. No more legacy magic.
About Us
Built in Denver. Shipped worldwide.
MonkeysCloud LLCbuilds developer tools that go from code to production without the usual vendor patchwork. We’re a small, focused team that believes the best platforms are built by people who also write the frameworks and applications that run on them.
Every product in our ecosystem shares the same conventions, the same quality bar, and the same team. That vertical integration means fewer moving parts, faster debugging, and a developer experience that actually holds together.
Open Source First
MIT-licensed core. No vendor lock-in. Your code is yours.
Vertically Integrated
We build the framework, the apps, and the platform that ships them.
AI-Native
Not bolted on — AI runs through the framework, platform, and CMS from day one.
Benchmarked, Not Marketed
We lead with performance numbers, not buzzwords or demo-call gatekeeping.
Developer-First
Free tiers built to actually be used. No per-seat pricing, ever.
Ship Fast
From composer create to production in minutes, not months.
