04/28/2023, 6:03 AMHi @important-noon-13871 It would surprise me very much if Cypress Cloud had access to your source code. It normally only deals with test results. You can find the documentation together with links to demos on https://docs.cypress.io/guides/cloud/introduction. (There is a special board https://discord.com/channels/755913899261296641/1064949020235149442 for the Cloud.)

04/28/2023, 7:30 AMThanks, so if I run tests in parallel with 5 machines, could I say "machines" not provide by Cypress but Github actions or AWS?

04/28/2023, 7:37 AMThat is correct. You provide the machines, not Cypress. They could be self-hosted, GitHub-hosted, AWS, or one of many other CI providers. You can find a list of common providers on https://docs.cypress.io/guides/continuous-integration/ci-provider-examples.

05/09/2023, 11:21 AMThe Cypress website https://www.cypress.io/security/ answers this question explicitly:
"No access to customer systems
The open-source Cypress app runs locally within the customer environment, typically on a user’s computer and/or within a continuous integration pipeline, and sends Testing Content to Cypress Cloud. Cypress Cloud records results from the Cypress app and maintains no access to customer systems, source code, or software."
