Station guide / 01
What is a Station?
A persistent, private workspace where your coding agents can keep their tools, repository, and context ready between sessions.
A computer for the work, not another chat
A Defang Station is a dedicated cloud machine prepared for agent-driven software work. Claude Code and Codex can live beside the repository and development tools they need, without making your laptop the always-on server.
The simple model
You bring the agent account and the code. Station provides the persistent place to work.
What persists
- Your working tree and project files.
- The terminal sessions where agents are running.
- The machine-level tools and configuration your project needs.
- A record of when your Station was built, stopped and started.
How the pieces fit
Your account owns your Station, and the ownership boundary is created for you on first sign-in. There is nothing to set up and nothing to choose. It exists so that separating work later does not mean moving machines you are already running.
What Station does not replace
Station does not sell or proxy an Anthropic or OpenAI subscription. It does not own your Git history, and Defang never receives your agent credentials. It gives the tools you already chose a durable, isolated place to run.
The current plan
Each Station costs $39/month. Subscriptions run through Stripe Checkout, with a seven-day free trial that begins once you provide card details and charges nothing while it lasts. Additional compute tiers are not currently available.
