Overview

Runsite Web Services runs your web apps and APIs in production straight from Git. Connect a repository and every push to your main branch gets built into a container and released with zero downtime. You don't need a Dockerfile, since Runsite detects your framework, but you can supply your own when you want full control over the build.

Everything runs on infrastructure inside the European Union. Your code, environment variables, and runtime data stay on EU soil, and a signed GDPR Data Processing Agreement comes with every plan instead of an enterprise add-on.

It handles full-stack apps, REST and GraphQL APIs, and microservices in any language that runs in a container: Node.js, Python, Go, Ruby, Rust, and the rest. Reach for [managed PostgreSQL](/services/postgresql) when you need a database, [Redis](/services/redis) for caching, or [transactional email](/services/email) for the mail your app sends. If you are shipping a prebuilt site rather than a server, [Static Sites](/services/static-sites) is the lighter option — those are never billed. The entry Nano plan is €3/mo and covered by the €5 credit every new account starts with, and it keeps active apps warm with no cold starts.

Features

## Everything to Ship Web Apps

Built-in tools and capabilities to deploy and manage with confidence.

### Auto-Deploy from Git

Push to your main branch and Runsite builds and deploys automatically. Supports GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket with webhook-driven pipelines.

The build runs on the commit, not on your machine, so what ships is reproducible and the log is there to read afterwards. Configuration is applied at release rather than baked into the image, which is what lets the same artifact run in a preview environment and in production.

### Preview Environments

Every pull request gets its own isolated environment with a unique URL. Review changes before merging with zero configuration.

The preview gets its own URL and its own process, so a reviewer clicks a link instead of checking out a branch. What it does not get is its own database unless you attach one, which is worth knowing before a reviewer writes test data into production rows.

### Zero-Downtime Deploys

Rolling deployments ensure your application is always available during updates. Automatic rollback on health check failures.

Instances are replaced in waves with a health check between each one, which means the old and new versions serve traffic at the same time for a minute or two. Every migration therefore has to be backward compatible with the version it is replacing, or the overlap breaks it.

### Health Checks & Auto-Restart

Configure custom health check paths and intervals. Failed containers are automatically restarted and rescheduled on healthy nodes.

A check that only proves the port is open will pass while the database connection is down, so point it at something that exercises a dependency. Interval and timeout decide how long a genuinely broken release keeps taking traffic before the platform pulls it.

### Horizontal Auto-Scaling

Scale from 1 to N instances based on CPU and memory utilization thresholds. Load balancing across all instances is automatic.

Instances are added and removed on CPU and memory thresholds, and the count changes without telling you. That matters for anything holding state in process memory: an in-process cache, a rate-limiter counter, or a scheduler, each of which now exists once per replica rather than once in total.

### Framework Auto-Detection

Runsite detects your framework — Next.js, Django, Rails, FastAPI, and more — and configures the build pipeline automatically.

Detection covers the common build and start commands for Next.js, Nuxt, Django, Flask, Rails, Express, FastAPI and Spring Boot. When it guesses wrong, or the project is not one of those, a Dockerfile in the repository takes over and the platform builds exactly what you wrote.

Deploy Pipeline

## From git push to live

Every deploy follows the same reliable pipeline — from source code to running containers with zero downtime.

1

### Git Push Triggers Build

A webhook fires when you push to your configured branch. Runsite clones the repo, detects the framework (or reads your Dockerfile), and starts a containerized build with layer caching for faster rebuilds.

2

### Image Stored & Health Check Prepared

The built Docker image is stored in Runsite's internal registry. Environment variables, secrets, and health check configuration are attached to the deployment manifest.

3

### Rolling Deployment

New containers start alongside existing ones. Once health checks pass, traffic is gradually shifted to the new version. If anything fails, Runsite automatically rolls back to the previous healthy release.

4

### Live with SSL & Monitoring

Your app is live on its runsite.app subdomain (or custom domain) with automatic HTTPS. Real-time logs, CPU and memory metrics, and deploy history are available immediately in the dashboard.

Code

## Get Started in Minutes

Simple integration with your existing tools and workflows.

git-deploy.sh

```
# Push to deploy
git push origin main

# Runsite automatically:
# 1. Detects your framework
# 2. Builds your application
# 3. Deploys with zero downtime
```

Use Cases

## Built for Any Web Workload

Common scenarios where this service shines.

### Full-Stack Web Apps

Deploy Next.js, Nuxt, SvelteKit, or any full-stack framework with server-side rendering and API routes.

### REST & GraphQL APIs

Run Express, FastAPI, Django REST, or any API framework with automatic HTTPS and health monitoring.

### Mobile Backends

Build and deploy mobile app backends with WebSocket support, push notification services, and real-time features.

### Microservices

Deploy individual microservices with private networking, service discovery, and independent scaling.

EU-Sovereign

## EU Data Residency for Your Apps

Hosted in Germany — your data stays under EU jurisdiction.

Your application containers, environment variables, build artifacts, and logs run in Runsite's German region and never leave the EU. There is no replication to non-EU regions and no fallback to overseas infrastructure.

Every account is GDPR-compliant by default and includes a signed Data Processing Agreement at no extra cost and with no sales call. You can review how we handle data in our [Privacy Policy and DPA terms](/privacy). That makes Runsite a fit when you handle EU customer data or fall under the GDPR or the EU Digital Services Act.

Pricing

## Simple, transparent pricing

Pay only for the resources you actually use. Switch between monthly and hourly to see what you'll spend.

Runsite is in Public Beta

Every service listed here is live, and paid plans bill exactly as shown. Beta means the platform is young. Features still change, and parts of the roadmap are not built yet.

Redis starts at Starter. The 50 MB free instance is no longer offered. Every plan here includes RDB + AOF persistence, TLS and automatic failover, and is billed by the hour like everything else. A Starter instance runs for roughly a month on the €5 starting credit, if it is the only thing you have running.

Runsite hosts applications, not relays. VPN endpoints, proxies, VLESS / Xray / V2Ray and Shadowsocks nodes, and traffic tunnels of any kind are prohibited on every plan, paid ones included, and are blocked without notice or refund. See the Acceptable Use Policy in Section 4 of the Terms.

FAQ

## Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about this service.

### Can I run a VPN, proxy, or tunnel as a web service?

No. Proxies, VPN endpoints, VLESS, Xray, V2Ray and Shadowsocks nodes, and any service whose purpose is to forward third-party network traffic are prohibited on every plan, paid ones included. Services identified as running them are blocked without notice and without a refund. This is not a bandwidth cap we might raise later. Relay traffic saturates egress other customers paid for, and it lands our IP ranges on blocklists that take months to leave. An ordinary application that opens outbound connections — a scraper, a bot, a webhook relay, an API that calls other APIs — is fine. The line is whether the service exists to carry someone else's traffic. Section 4 of the Terms of Service sets this out in full.

### Which programming languages are supported?

Runsite supports any language that can run in a Docker container: Node.js, Python, Go, Ruby, Rust, Java, PHP, .NET, and more. For popular frameworks like Next.js, Django, Rails, and FastAPI, Runsite auto-detects the build configuration.

### How does auto-deploy work?

When you connect a Git repository, Runsite sets up a webhook. Every push to your configured branch triggers a new build and deploy automatically. The entire process — clone, build, deploy — typically completes in under 60 seconds.

### Can I use a custom Dockerfile?

Yes. If your repository contains a Dockerfile, Runsite uses it to build your application. You can specify a custom Dockerfile path and build context in the service settings.

### How does scaling work?

On Pro and Business plans, you can enable horizontal auto-scaling. Set minimum and maximum instance counts along with CPU/memory thresholds. Runsite automatically scales instances up during traffic spikes and down during quiet periods.

### What happens during a deploy?

Runsite performs a rolling deployment: new containers are started alongside old ones, health checks verify the new version is healthy, then traffic is shifted gradually. If health checks fail, Runsite automatically rolls back to the previous version.
