DCHQ

DCHQ (Data Center HQ) was a cloud automation and Docker container management platform out of San Francisco, offering both a hosted PaaS (DCHQ.io) and self-hosted on-premise editions for modeling, deploying, and managing container-based applications across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Rackspace, and OpenStack. The platform covered application modeling (Docker Compose / JSON), infrastructure automation, multi-tenant governance and access controls, and lifecycle management including monitoring, backup, and auto-scaling, with integrations for Docker, GitHub, and Jenkins. The company is now defunct — its primary domain (dchq.co) no longer resolves and dchq.io serves a frozen 2020 marketing snapshot with no live developer portal, API reference, or machine-readable API surface. This profile is retained as a historical company record; no live API artifacts were available to enrich.

DCHQ is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Containers, Docker, Container Management, and Cloud Automation.
