# Agent Application Platform

> The service that deploys Agent Projects and operates releases, instances, workspaces, fleets, and commercial distribution.

> **Agent Application Platform** is the developer- and publisher-facing service
> that deploys Agent Projects, operates instances and workspaces, manages fleets
> and costs, and supports distribution and monetization.

The platform turns a framework-native project into an operating product. It
packages an immutable release, creates instances at the application's privacy
boundary, attaches a durable workspace and scoped authority, and runs the
sessions that perform the work.

It also supplies the shared services that do not belong in each application:
identity, scheduling, interfaces, artifact delivery, evaluation, fleet
upgrades, cost controls, distribution, and billing.

## Agent Cloud and platform

Ordinary cloud infrastructure provides compute, storage, networking, and
databases. [Agent Cloud](/concepts/agent-cloud) adds infrastructure for
persistent agents, including durable workspaces, resumable execution, sandboxed
tools, checkpoints, and per-instance metering.

An Agent Application Platform is the larger product layer. It may use an Agent
Cloud, provide those services itself, or assemble them from ordinary cloud
services.
