What is Greenlight
Overview
Greenlight is an app platform for coding agents. Vercel-style infrastructure, purpose-built for the agents your citizen developers already use — Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini, or anything else that speaks MCP.
Citizen developers stay focused on the app they want to build. Their agent works with Greenlight on the rest: source control, deployment, data access, SSO, RBAC, network isolation, audit logging, and policy enforcement — the technical work that turns a local prototype into a real, governed application.

How it fits together
A citizen developer asks their coding agent to build something. The agent reads the right context from Knowledge, generates code, and opens a pull request in a repository owned by your team. Greenlight’s policy check evaluates the change against your organization’s rules and blocks merges that fail. When the change merges, Greenlight builds and deploys the app into an isolated environment, attaches a workload identity, and wires it into the configured data broker.
Three groups of people interact with the platform: citizen developers who build apps, coding agents that do the work for them, and IT admins who govern everything from a single dashboard.
Three things people ask first
Is this just vibe coding?
No. Every change is a pull request, and every pull request runs through Greenlight’s policy check before it can merge. The check covers secret scanning, code analysis, container vulnerabilities, and any organization-specific rules you’ve enabled — and nothing reaches production unless it passes.
How is this different from low-code platforms?
Apps deployed on Greenlight are real code in real repositories your team owns. There is no proprietary visual editor and no platform lock-in. The agent writes the code, but your developers can read it, fork it, and run it on their own infrastructure if they ever need to.
Do we lose control?
The opposite. IT gets a real-time view of every app, every integration, and every credential. A single action can stop any app instantly, and every override is logged. Greenlight’s role is to put guardrails between citizen developers and your production systems — not to remove them.
