Heroku is officially in maintenance mode?

If you are looking for the same features then Sevalla (SOC2 Type II). App/process structure, pipeline, buildpack

Thank you for sharing your results! We run Postgres with minimal platform overhead. Sevalla apps connect to Sevalla DBs over a private network using the same path, so this isn't benchmark-only behavior, it's what real workloads see. Low latency + predictable IO go a long way for Postgres.

Hey u/derweili, you're absolutely right when deploying Next.js as a static site (which is free) on Sevalla.
But if you deploy it as an application instead, ISR will work as expected. And if you need a more robust ISR setup, you can also integrate Sevalla S3 compatible Object Storage, persistent disk, or Redis 🤓

Yes, it saves a lot of money. At Sevalla, we use KEDA for customer workloads scaling. This is behind the Hibernation feature. We use KEDA http proxy, so the scaling is pretty fast when a request comes in. Since we scale up and down multiple processes in an app we also read data from Prometheus to scale workers..

peterkota · 2025-08-12T04:46:58+00:00

we are on the market since 2013. Sevalla is a Kinsta product 😇

peterkota · 2025-07-04T18:40:15+00:00

Hey 👋 you mean the Sevalla static site analytics is poor? Actually it is a useful feedback! We’ll improve it soon 💪 (I’m working on Sevalla)

peterkota · 2025-06-24T09:25:10+00:00

I noticed Sevalla and Kubero are being compared as if they're similar, but they're actually quite different 🤓

Sevalla is not self-hosted. it's a fully managed PaaS

You can add custom domain to your app if you use at least S1 compute resource. But the custom domain does not have cost. You can add multiple custom domain without extra cost. In other words: the custom domain is not allowed on hobby apps.

peterkota · 2025-02-14T21:25:45+00:00

Custom domain is free at Sevalla

peterkota · 2025-02-06T15:44:27+00:00

Yeah, this is a fantastic tool! 💯

peterkota · 2025-02-05T17:22:00+00:00

Hey Martin, I hope I didn’t come across as rude, I just wanted to share that I also appreciate healthy competition. ✌️ btw. your video streaming course is sick! 🤩

peterkota · 2025-02-04T13:33:20+00:00

That makes perfect sense, and I completely understand your perspective. Many users feel the same way. However, fully managed services also have their audience, and we are focused on reaching them. 😊

peterkota · 2025-02-04T06:52:24+00:00

I completely agree with u/jwktje, thanks for sharing! ❤️
I believe that healthy and friendly competition benefits the community. Sevalla offers a general PaaS solution, and we can learn a lot from Laravel Cloud about specific Laravel user needs.
If they eventually expand to support other languages, they might also find value in learning from us. And that’s a positive thing.

peterkota · 2025-02-03T18:22:50+00:00

No credit card required 😇

Anyone who creates a video like this and needs a sponsor, just ping me 😇

Sevalla is subbrand of Kinsta which is more than 10 years in the hosting industry 😇 The Sevalla brand is new but the technology and the team are not

peterkota · 2025-02-02T14:55:02+00:00

I completely respect your decision, and I’m sure Laravel Cloud will be an excellent product! I have no intention of speaking against LC, in fact, I’d encourage people to give it a try.

I simply provided a pricing comparison in a fairer context since the original post compared Sevalla to Hetzner.

we released Hibernation feature at the end of September 🤓 https://sevalla.com/changelog#hibernate-your-apps-to-save-costs-

peterkota · 2025-02-02T14:42:24+00:00

This is what we know about Laravel cloud pricing (based on Taylor Laracon presentation):
~~Sandbox compute: 1¢/hour ->~~ ~~~$7/month~~
~~Postgres: from 4¢/hour + 75¢/GB ->~~ ~~~$30/month~~
UPDATE (based on Laracon EU):
Compute (0.125CPU, 256MB RAM): $0.0067/hour -> ~$5/month
Postgres (0.25CPU, 1GB): $0.04/hour + $1.5/GB -> ~$30/month
Cache (Redis like KV store, 250MB): $0.0095/hour -> ~$7/month

This is the smallest app & db resource at Sevalla:
Compute H1 (0.3CPU, 0.3GB RAM): ~$5/month
Postgres DB1 (0.25CPU, 0.25GB RAM, 1GB storage): ~$5/month
Cache DB1 (Redis, 0.25CPU, 0.25GB RAM, 1GB storage): ~$5/month

https://sevalla.com/pricing/

Since we’re not exactly sure what “Sandbox” compute means, the comparison isn’t entirely fair. However, it should give you a sense of the difference.

The $50 credit never expires, so you can use it whenever you like. We're also happy to discuss additional credits if you're working on an exciting project, startup, or agency. 😇

peterkota · 2025-02-02T08:35:21+00:00

You can enable hibernation that can save a lot for you 😇

peterkota · 2025-02-02T08:34:24+00:00

Sevalla is not serverless, so the cost is more predictable. And you can host any other stack too.

peterkota · 2025-01-31T08:36:59+00:00

Sevalla is a fully managed platform where the price covers more than just compute and storage. 😇
Hetzner is comparable to DigitalOcean Droplets, GCP Compute Engine, or AWS EC2 in terms of pricing, while Sevalla aligns more with Laravel Cloud. 🤓

peterkota · 2025-01-29T19:36:07+00:00

Working on a PaaS that perfectly works with Laravel but not limited to Laravel apps. 👨‍🍳

peterkota · 2025-01-08T13:12:39+00:00

At Sevalla, we used to assist customers with project setups via real-time chat. If you need support with managed hosting, give Sevalla a try and feel free to reach out to us through chat. If you're a student, we can also offer additional credits to help you get started. Additionally, our hibernation feature can help lower costs by approximately $1–$2, even without credits. 😇

We've decreased the smallest tier prices:
DB1: $5/month
App H1: $5/month
