Best Codex plugins for deployment and hosting
We found 11 listings for deployment and hosting that work with Codex. 8 of them are in OpenAI's official curated catalog (CircleCI, Cloudflare, CrowdStrike Falcon Foundry, Expo, OpenAI Developers, Product Design, Temporal, Vercel), so they install from the built-in marketplace. 3 are community repos that pass our quality filter (not tested by us).
How this list was made: every listing in the CodexStacks catalog whose name or description mentions deploying, hosting, Vercel, Cloudflare, Netlify or serverless. "Best" here means "available and documented", not a ranking: we haven't benchmarked these, and there are no paid placements in this list. Order: official OpenAI curated listings first (A–Z), then community repos by GitHub stars at last sync. This is not a quality ranking.
