Stop configuring. Start collaborating.

What if you could deploy Rocket.Chat with the confidence that comes from built-in best practices, automated setup, and expert guidance—all in just minutes? That's exactly what Launchpad delivers.

Meet Launchpad, Rocket.Chat's opinionated deployment path that gets your Secure CommsOS™ instance up and running quickly and reliably.

Deployment, streamlined

Launchpad is our answer to deployment complexity. It's a CLI-based tool that combines expert guidance, automation, and built-in monitoring to deliver a production-ready Rocket.Chat deployment with a single command.

Think of it as the "easy button" for Rocket.Chat deployment—except it's also the secure, reliable, and scalable button.

How Launchpad works

1. Deploy with confidence in minutes

Launchpad's opinionated CLI knows exactly how Rocket.Chat should be deployed. No Helm knowledge required. No YAML editing. No manual wiring. Just run the command, and Launchpad guides you through the entire deployment process with built-in best practices from our engineering team.

2. Automation that empowers your team

Launchpad handles the heavy lifting so your team can focus on what matters most. The tool automatically takes care of:

• Deploying Rocket.Chat with all core components configured and ready
• Validating your Kubernetes cluster, MongoDB, and S3-compatible storage
• Setting up Ingress controllers and certificates for routing and security
• Configuring monitoring to catch issues before they become problems

The result? Consistent deployments, reliable operations, and more bandwidth for your team to focus on collaboration and innovation.

3. Complete operational visibility

Launchpad includes an integrated monitoring stack with Prometheus and Grafana dashboards that provide real-time visibility into your Rocket.Chat instance. Stay informed about everything that matters:

• System health metrics (CPU, memory, performance)
• Key performance indicators (message delivery, workspace responsiveness)
• Potential opportunities for optimization and performance improvement

With Launchpad, you have the insights you need to keep your deployment running smoothly and efficiently.

What's on the horizon

We're not stopping here. The Rocket.Chat team is actively developing new features to make Launchpad even more powerful:

• Easier storage options with enhanced S3-compatible setups for simpler, more flexible file management
• Built-in load validation to ensure your instance scales reliably as your team grows
• Expanded sizing tiers to support larger workspaces with predictable performance

This is only the beginning — we’re committed to continuously investing in Launchpad to make it more comprehensive and valuable with every update.
