Deis is a Django/Celery API server, Python CLI and set of Chef cookbooks that combine to provide a Heroku-inspired application platform for public and private clouds. Your PaaS. Your Rules.
If you are new to Deis, you should start with :ref:`Concepts`. Once you've completed :ref:`installation` of your private Deis controller, you should explore :ref:`usage` of the command-line client which is elaborated on in the :ref:`tutorial`.
Want to learn about Deis internals? You'll find complete API documentation in the :ref:`client` and :ref:`server` sections.
