Deploy a Streamlit app

Share a Streamlit dashboard with coworkers without spending time building login, server, and data connection infrastructure around it. Tokay keeps the app running, gives it an HTTPS URL, and can restrict access to the people who should see it.

Start with the dashboard you already built

You do not need to build a separate server setup around a working Streamlit dashboard. Push a private repository or paste the files, and Tokay detects Streamlit, the start command, environment variables, and data connections used by the code.

The app runs as a long running Service, including the WebSocket connection used for interactive sessions.

Coworkers get access without a login project

Tokay can protect the dashboard at the Project boundary, so company data does not require custom authentication inside Streamlit. Make the Project Private, keep the dashboard Restricted, and set the shared audience to your company email domain or chosen coworkers. Visitors enter through a magic link, and their access appears in the Project log.

Streamlit dashboards and refresh jobs share data and Secrets

You do not need separate infrastructure for the database and refresh pipeline. When the code expects Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB, or Redis, Tokay creates the resource and supplies the connection through the environment variable the app already reads. External warehouse credentials stay encrypted as Project secrets.

A nightly refresh runs as a scheduled Service in the same Project, sharing the dashboard's database and secrets. Tokay records each run and sends email when it fails.

Your AI agent can return a private work app

A coding agent like Claude Code or Codex can carry a generated dashboard through deployment and access setup instead of handing you the hosting work. Through Tokay's GraphQL API, it can deploy the files with the credentials you provide, protect the dashboard as a Restricted Service in a Private Project, set the audience, and verify the protected URL.

Point your agent to app.tokay.io/llms.txt for the deployment protocol.

Deploy your first app on Tokay's permanent free plan without a credit card.
