Comfy Deploy let’s you use ComfyUI in the cloud. We call this the workspace which you can access for each of your workflows.

The components that make a workspace are

  1. Machine environment - custom nodes, python packages, etc.
  2. Models folder - checkpoint, vae, etc.

The machine that your workflow is attached to needs to be built to use and see ComfyUI.

Static frontend

When you just jump into your workspace, you’ll see ComfyUI in a static frontend.

The purpose of which is to let you see your workflow, without paying for GPU time. It lets you update your workflow and save new versions.

You might see some issues or differences in the model dropdowns for nodes i.e. Load Checkpoint

If so we reccomend you create a session and use full ComfyUI.

Sessions

Sessions let you spin up a GPU in the cloud to run your workflow.

You will be asked to select a timeout period. The maximum amount of time your session will last for.

Currently you cannot add time while being in the session.

If you want to add new models to your account. You can do so by going to the storage page.

Once the model has finished downloading, you will need to restart your session to be able to use the model.
