Utexo Cloud provides a managed control plane for deploying and operating RGB Lightning Nodes (RLNs). It is designed for applications that require direct control over node-level infrastructure — channel management, asset issuance, backups, and observability — without building or maintaining that infrastructure themselves. Cloud is optional and complementary to the SDK. Applications can combine Cloud-managed nodes with the Utexo SDK depending on their deployment model and trust requirements.Documentation Index

What Utexo Cloud Provides
| Capability | Description |
|---|---|
| Node lifecycle management | Create, start, stop, upgrade, and destroy RLN nodes via dashboard or API |
| Health and status monitoring | Real-time node status (RUNNING, PAUSED, FAILED) and build progress tracking |
| Controlled access | mTLS and API-token–based authentication for secure remote connections |
| Versioned deployments | Upgrade nodes to the latest RLN image with a single operation |
| Backup and restore | Snapshot node state and restore from backup at any time |
| Webhook events | Receive real-time notifications when node state transitions occur |
When to Use Cloud
I need to run payment infrastructure without managing servers

Use Utexo Cloud to provision and operate RGB Lightning Nodes directly from the dashboard. The node lifecycle — creation, upgrade, backup, teardown — is managed via a control plane API, not raw server access.

Once a node is running, it exposes a REST JSON API for all Lightning and RGB operations: channel management, asset issuance, payments, and more. See RGB Lightning Node API.
