gpu.nz features
- Per-minute billing. Pay only for the exact minutes the GPU runs, with prices fixed at launch.
- API and CLI access. Control servers programmatically via an OpenAPI 3.1 REST API or the open-source gpunz CLI.
- Ready-to-run templates. Launch pre-configured environments like ComfyUI, Stable Diffusion, Ollama, vLLM, Jupyter, or your own Docker image.
- Global GPU pool. Access 3,886 GPUs across 62 countries with live price and stock updates.
- SSH and web UI access. Connect to running servers over SSH or through web interfaces for each environment.
- Interruptible servers. Cheaper bid-based instances that pause when outbid, ideal for batch jobs.
Render features
- Zero-ops deployments. Connect a repo and Render automatically builds, deploys and scales your service.
- Full-stack previews. Ephemeral preview environments for every pull request across the whole architecture.
- Load-based autoscaling. Automatic horizontal scaling that handles traffic bursts up to 100x.
- Managed Postgres. Fully-managed PostgreSQL with point-in-time recovery, read replicas and high availability.
- Durable workflows. Run background agents and long-running jobs without managing queues or retry logic.
- Private networking & security. Private networks, DDoS protection, TLS, RBAC and compliance (SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO 27001).
- Integrated logs & monitoring. Built-in metrics, logs and optional streaming to external observability tools.
- Infrastructure as code. Define the entire stack in a single YAML file for reproducible deployments.
