The Scalix World Blog
Engineering, sovereignty, and what it takes to build a cloud AI agents can operate — written by the two founders building it.
Deploy Claude Code Apps to Production
From agent-written code to live URL in one session. Migrate database, deploy container, wire environment, get a stable URL. The agent operates the cloud; you approve the consequential steps.
Teaching AI Agents How to Operate a Cloud: MCP Skills
Tools alone are not enough for an AI agent. By injecting architectural context into the agent's prompt via MCP Skills, we stop hallucinations before they start. Now available on NPM.
Test in a Scalix Sandbox
Ephemeral, hardware-isolated test environments that an AI agent can spin up, run your suite against, and tear down. Real Linux, persistent disks, zero idle cost.
What Is an AI-Native Neocloud
The category is empty. We are defining it. An AI-Native Neocloud is a cloud built from scratch for AI agents to operate, with serverless Postgres, compute, and inference unified under one key.
Give Claude Code a Database
Every project needs Postgres eventually. The friction is leaving your session to provision one. Connect Claude Code to Scalix and the agent creates the database and wires the DSN itself.
App hosting in 2026: Fly, Render, Railway and microVMs
Four ways to keep an app running. What Scalix Run does with per-deployment microVMs and scale to zero, and how Fly, Render and Railway differ on isolation, idle billing and regions.
Serverless Postgres in 2026: Neon, Supabase, and the tradeoffs
Three products wear the serverless Postgres label and mean different things by it. What Neon, Supabase and ScalixNova actually do, who each fits, and where the tradeoffs bite.
How to Deploy an AI Agent to the Cloud
Your agent loop works on your laptop. Here is what it needs to run 24/7: durable state, secret handling, real isolation, and a stable URL that does not change.
Deploy an MCP Server on Docker
Your MCP server runs on your laptop. Here is the Dockerfile, the local run, and the deploy that turns it into a container any agent can reach at a stable HTTPS URL.
How to Deploy with Claude Code (to a real cloud)
Claude Code can write your app but not ship it. Connect it to Scalix with one API key and the agent can stand up a database, deploy to a real cloud, and hand back a live URL.
PostgreSQL 16, 17, and 18 on a Serverless Engine
Choosing a Postgres major is a bigger decision on a serverless engine, because every branch and every restore inherits it. How ScalixNova pins 16, 17, or 18 for the life of a database.
How durability works in a storage engine we wrote ourselves
Durability means four different things at four different layers. Here is precisely what each one guarantees in ScalixNova, and what the engine does not do yet.
Built, not assembled
Most cloud platforms are acquisitions glued at billing. We wrote one system from scratch so the seams do not exist.
One key, one bill: the economics of an integrated cloud
Four vendors, four idle minimums, four invoices. We counted what the fragmented stack actually costs.
Remote vs Local MCP Servers, Explained
A local MCP server runs on your laptop and stops when you close it. A remote one runs always-on at a URL any authorized agent can reach. The practical difference: transports, auth, and access.
How to Host an MCP Server
You built an MCP server and it runs on your laptop. Here is how to get it hosted, always-on, and reachable by any agent.
What Is an MCP Server?
An AI agent can reason about your database but it cannot query one on its own. An MCP server is what closes that gap. Here is what it is, how it works, and what it exposes.
Sovereignty Is Now Law, Not Sentiment
Data residency went from preference to legal mandate. We built a cloud for the jurisdictions that enforce it.
Where does your agent's API key actually go?
Direct-connect or gateway-mediated: two MCP architectures look identical in the chat window. In one of them, a third company is on the line.
How an AI Agent Operates a Cloud
We gave an agent one API key and watched it migrate a database, deploy a service, and check its own bill.
Meet Scalix World — The AI-Native Neocloud
After a year of building, we're taking Scalix World public: one platform AI agents can operate, on sovereign European infrastructure.
