Runsite is a developer platform for shipping web apps without babysitting servers. Push from Git, get a URL. Add a managed Postgres, a Redis, an S3-compatible bucket, or a transactional email API in a few clicks.
Everything runs in the EU (Frankfurt, Germany), with a signed GDPR Data Processing Agreement on every plan.

- Web Services — deploy from Git or a Docker image. Custom domains, env vars, autoscaling, sleep on idle.
- Static Sites — build from Git, instant atomic deploys, custom domains.
- PostgreSQL — managed Postgres 14–17 with backups and point-in-time restore.
- Redis — managed Redis 6–8 for cache, queues, and pub/sub.
- Object Storage — S3-compatible buckets, scoped keys, presigned URLs.
- Cron Jobs — scheduled containers with logs and retries.
- Email — transactional email over a REST API with sending domains and webhooks.
No credit card, no trial countdown:
| Resource | What you get for free |
|---|---|
| Web service | 0.1 vCPU, 256 MB RAM, 1 GB disk, 100 GB bandwidth |
| Static sites | Unlimited, global CDN, 100 GB bandwidth |
| PostgreSQL | 0.1 vCPU, 256 MB RAM, 1 GB storage, 25 connections |
| Redis | 50 MB memory, 50 connections |
| Object storage | 5 GB |
Web services, static sites, and object storage have no time limit — a free web service only sleeps after 14 days without a single request, then cold-starts on the next visit. Databases are the exception: free PostgreSQL and Redis run for 30 days, then stop. We email you first, hold the data for 7 more days, and keep the final PostgreSQL backup for 12 months, so upgrading later still restores it. Paid plans start at €5/mo.
Application containers, environment variables, build artifacts, logs, databases, backups, and stored objects all live in the Frankfurt region. There is no replication to non-EU regions and no fallback to overseas infrastructure. A signed GDPR Data Processing Agreement comes with every plan — no upcharge, no sales call.
We wanted Heroku-style ergonomics on European infrastructure, with prices that don't make you flinch when traffic spikes. No vendor lock-in tricks — your apps are containers, your databases are real Postgres and Redis you can dump and walk away with.
