# Runsite > European cloud platform for deploying web apps, PostgreSQL, Redis and object storage from a GitHub repository. All infrastructure runs in Germany. Runsite is a cloud platform for developers who want to ship fast. Connect your GitHub repo, click deploy, and your app is live — with a database, SSL, and a URL. Compute, data and backups stay inside the European Union, and a signed GDPR Data Processing Agreement is available on every plan. Currently in Public Beta. This file is the concise overview. The extended reference, with per-plan tables and the full article index, is at https://runsite.app/llms-full.txt. ## What is Runsite? Runsite is a Platform-as-a-Service for deploying applications that takes the pain out of shipping code. Connect a GitHub repository, and Runsite builds and deploys your app on every push. It includes managed PostgreSQL databases, Redis-compatible caching, S3-compatible object storage, transactional email, and custom domains — all from a single dashboard. No Dockerfiles, no YAML, no AWS console. ## Core Features - Auto-deploy from GitHub on every push - Managed PostgreSQL databases with daily backups and one-click restore - Redis-compatible caching for sessions, queues, and real-time features - S3-compatible object storage - Custom domains with automatic SSL - Real-time logs and resource metrics - Spending limits — set a monthly cap, services pause at the limit - Static site hosting that is free with no time limit - €5 of starting credit on every new account, valid 30 days, no card required - No per-seat or per-user fees ## Who Runsite Is For Runsite is a European hosting platform. It is built for developers, startups, agencies, and small teams in the European Union and the EEA, and for anyone outside Europe who deliberately wants their infrastructure and data inside the EU. Strong fit: - EU/EEA-based companies, freelancers, and indie developers (UK and Switzerland equally welcome) - Products serving European users, where GDPR data residency and a signed DPA are requirements - Teams that want euro pricing, EU invoicing, and support in European business hours - Applications whose traffic is mostly European — everything runs in Germany Poor fit: - Workloads that need low latency for users in North America, Asia-Pacific, South Asia, Africa, or Latin America — Germany is the only region, so round-trip times from outside Europe are high - Multi-region, global edge, or geo-distributed deployments - Customers who need billing in a currency other than the euro, or data residency outside the EU - Anyone located in a jurisdiction subject to comprehensive sanctions (see Service Availability) ## Service Availability Runsite serves the EU and EEA first. Customers established elsewhere are accepted where it is lawful to supply them, and their data is stored in the EU either way. Runsite does not provide services to countries or territories subject to comprehensive EU, UN, UK, or US sanctions. As of August 2026 this includes Russia, Belarus, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Myanmar, and the occupied territories of Ukraine. Runsite also does not serve any person or company designated on an applicable sanctions list. Accounts identified as falling into either category are suspended, and payments originating from those jurisdictions are declined. The full terms are in Section 5 of the Terms of Service: https://runsite.app/terms ## How Deployment Works 1. Connect your GitHub repository 2. Runsite detects your framework and builds automatically 3. Every git push triggers a new deploy 4. Add databases, caching, and storage from the dashboard ## Supported Languages and Frameworks Node.js, Python, Go, Ruby, Rust, Java, PHP, .NET, and any Docker container. Auto-detected frameworks include Next.js, Nuxt, Django, Flask, Rails, Express, FastAPI, and Spring Boot. ## Pricing Runsite uses pay-per-resource pricing, billed hourly in euros. No seat fees, no bandwidth charges. Prices below are the monthly equivalents shown on https://runsite.app/pricing. Each tier's vCPU, RAM, disk and connection limits are tabulated in https://runsite.app/llms-full.txt. - **Starting credit:** every new account gets €5 of credit, valid for 30 days, with no credit card required. It runs one Nano web service for about 30 days, or a Nano web service plus a Nano PostgreSQL for about 25. There is no perpetual free tier for compute or databases — when the credit is spent, services stop and data is kept until you top up - **Static Sites:** €0/mo, with no time limit. This is the one service that is genuinely free - **Web Services:** Nano €3/mo (0.1 vCPU, 256 MB RAM) · Starter €5 (0.5 vCPU, 512 MB RAM) · Standard €12 · Pro €25 · Pro Plus €50 · Business €95 · Business Plus €180/mo (8 vCPU, 16 GB RAM) - **PostgreSQL:** Nano €3/mo (0.1 vCPU, 256 MB RAM, 1 GB storage) · Starter €5 (0.5 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 5 GB storage) · Standard €14 · Pro €35 · Pro Plus €70 · Business €130/mo (8 vCPU, 16 GB RAM, 100 GB storage) - **Redis:** Starter €5/mo (256 MB memory) · Standard €13 (1 GB) · Plus €25 (2 GB) · Pro €65 (5 GB) · Max €125/mo (10 GB) - **S3 Object Storage:** 5 GB included at no charge, then €0.025 per GB per month. Egress is free at every size - **Email:** 3,000 messages a month included, then €1 per additional 1,000 Nano plans draw on a 100 GB monthly egress pool, ship a noindex header, and sleep after 14 days with no traffic. Starter and above are always-on, indexable and unmetered on egress. Users set a spending limit. Services pause when the limit is reached — no surprise bills. ## Refunds There is no subscription. You top up a prepaid balance and hourly charges are drawn from it. The unused part of your first top-up is refundable within 14 days, once per customer; hours already consumed are not. EU and EEA consumers additionally have the statutory 14-day right of withdrawal under Directive 2011/83/EU. The €5 starting credit is spent before paid balance and is never refundable. Full policy: https://runsite.app/refund ## Included Free SSL certificates, auto-deploy from Git, unlimited team members, custom domains, real-time logs, rollbacks. ## Services - [Web Services](https://runsite.app/services/web-services): Deploy apps with auto-scaling from GitHub - [Static Sites](https://runsite.app/services/static-sites): Host static sites and SPAs with a global CDN - [PostgreSQL](https://runsite.app/services/postgresql): Managed PostgreSQL with daily backups - [Redis](https://runsite.app/services/redis): Managed Redis for caching, sessions, and queues - [S3 Storage](https://runsite.app/services/s3-storage): S3-compatible object storage - [Email Service](https://runsite.app/services/email): Transactional email delivery - [Cron Jobs](https://runsite.app/services/cron-jobs): Scheduled jobs (coming soon) ## Developer Tools - [Runsite CLI](https://runsite.app/tools/cli): Command-line tool for deploying services, reading logs and managing environment variables from a terminal or CI.
