What is Cyclos 4 PRO?
Cyclos has been developed since 2002 and is deployed in dozens of countries to run local currencies, time banks, barter networks, agent-based mobile money and closed-loop payment systems. It provides multi-currency accounts, transfer types with fees and limits, POS and mobile apps, cards, vouchers, an online marketplace and a full permission system for administrators, brokers and members.
Because it handles money, Cyclos demands a reliable Java runtime and a PostgreSQL database with proper backups. The marketplace package deploys those pieces on MassiveGRID PaaS, giving operators a private instance in the region their regulator or community requires, with snapshots and the Database Backup/Restore add-on for recovery.
What the Cyclos 4 PRO Package Deploys
Marketplace packages are not bare container images. One click provisions a complete, production-shaped environment on MassiveGRID infrastructure.
- Java application server: Tomcat running the Cyclos 4 web application with JVM settings matched to the cloudlet allocation.
- PostgreSQL database: A linked PostgreSQL container, the database Cyclos requires, with credentials configured during installation.
- Persistent storage: Uploaded documents, images and configuration on persistent storage with platform snapshots.
- Built-in domain and SSL: Members and administrators connect over HTTPS immediately; attach your own domain via Let's Encrypt.

Why Run Cyclos 4 PRO on MassiveGRID PaaS
Built for uptime. Cyclos 4 PRO runs on MassiveGRID's high-availability platform, where every environment is covered by a 100% uptime SLA. Nodes live on redundant hosts, storage is replicated, and failed containers are restarted or migrated automatically.
Pay for what you use. Billing is hourly and per cloudlet (128 MiB RAM plus 400 MHz CPU). Vertical auto-scaling adds and removes cloudlets as load changes, so a quiet Cyclos 4 PRO environment costs a few dollars a month and a busy one grows without a migration. Full details are on the PaaS page.
Your choice of jurisdiction. Deploy in New York, London, Frankfurt or Singapore and keep data inside the region your users or regulators require. MassiveGRID is ISO 9001 certified and GDPR compliant, and has run hosting infrastructure since 2003.
No lock-in. The package is a standard Jelastic Packaging Standard (JPS) manifest. You keep root-level access to the containers, can export the manifest, and can move the workload to any other Jelastic-compatible platform or to your own servers at any time.
