Introduction - Pipecat

Pipecat Cloud is a managed platform for deploying and scaling Pipecat agents in production. It handles infrastructure, scaling, and operations so you can focus on building your agent.

Key Capabilities

Auto-scaling: Scale from zero to thousands of concurrent sessions
Built-in WebRTC: Daily WebRTC transport included, no separate infrastructure needed
Secrets management: Securely store and inject API keys and credentials
Session management: Start, stop, and monitor agent sessions via REST API or SDK
Logging & monitoring: Built-in logging with Datadog integration support
Global regions: Deploy close to your users for lowest latency
