How ComfyUI Deploy Works

At its core, comfyui-deploy operates by providing a platform where you can manage and deploy your AI workflows. Here’s a simplified breakdown of how it works:

1. Comfy Deploy Dashboard: This is your control center. You can access it via comfydeploy.com (https://comfydeploy.com) or set up a self-hosted version. The dashboard allows you to manage your machines and workflows.
2. Machines: These are the engines that run your workflows. They can be long-running, on-premise ComfyUI machines, or serverless machines. You can choose from various options like runpods, modal, and hosted ComfyDeploy machines.
3. Workflow Execution: Once your machines are set up, you can deploy your workflows to these machines. The platform supports different environments, ensuring that your workflows run smoothly and efficiently. ComfyUI Deploy Overview
