PaaS power on your own server.
Better-PaaS is a self-hosted platform-as-a-service. It behaves like Heroku, Render, or Netlify, but runs entirely on your own virtual private server (VPS). Get 100% control, privacy, and zero platform markups.
How it works (in 3 simple steps)
Connect Git
Point Better-PaaS to your GitHub repository. It works with Node.js, Go, Python, Rust, and more.
Automatic Build
We automatically detect your language and framework, compile it securely, and prepare the container.
Live with SSL
Your app goes live instantly with automated SSL certificates, ready to receive web traffic.
Core Platform Capabilities
Zero-Downtime Deployments
When you push updates to your application, your visitors won't notice a thing. We boot up the new version of your app in the background, perform health checks, switch the router traffic over automatically once healthy, and retire the old version safely.
One-Click Managed Databases
Provision PostgreSQL, Redis, or MySQL containers with a single click. Better-PaaS automatically configures secure shared networks and auto-injects connection credentials to your applications. Managing databases has never been this simple.
Automatic HTTPS & Domains
Just type in your custom domain name. Better-PaaS automatically obtains free SSL certificates from Let's Encrypt, configures secure routing, and handles automatic renewals. You never have to manually touch DNS certificates or routing configurations.
Real-time Metrics & Logs
Know exactly what's happening. Stream container logs in real time over WebSockets directly in your browser. Inspect live graphs for CPU and memory usage, and execute commands within your containers via the integrated, web-based secure shell terminal.
Secrets Encryption & Lockout
Security is built-in. Database secrets and Git credentials are encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM before writing to storage. Failed login attempts trigger an automatic, escalating brute-force lockout window to protect your admin dashboard.
Scheduled Backups & Cron
Set up automated backups of your server configurations and databases to run on schedules. Run routine maintenance tasks, database migrations, or cleanup jobs inside your application containers automatically with standard Cron schedules.
Deploy your first app in 2 minutes
Better-PaaS is free, open source, and lightweight. Run it on a cheap VPS and deploy as many applications as your server can hold.
