Hi, I'm Patrick, co-founder of Shpyrd. After helping friends build apps with AI, I kept getting the same question: how do I put this on the internet? We built Shpyrd to make that next step easier, with hosting, databases, sign-in, backups and infrastructure in one place. You can work through Claude Code, Codex or Cursor, or use the CLI directly. There is also an open-source core you can self-host. I'd love to hear what you're building and where deployment still gets in your way.
- Deploy from code, Git repo or container image
- Each deployment is recorded as a release
- Use your own custom domain
- CLI and API for automated workflows
- Built‑in TLS, authentication and managed databases
Shpyrd lets you deploy web apps, APIs and AI agents with built-in hosting, PostgreSQL, Redis, sign-in and automatic sleep.
- for
- Developers and teams who want simple deployment with auth, databases and usage-based billing.
- pricing
- freemium
- license
- MPL-2.0
Key features
- One-click deployment — Deploy from a project folder or Git using Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or VS Code CLI.
- Built-in auth (Security Door) — Add a sign-in page and role-based access without writing authentication code.
- Integrated databases — PostgreSQL and Valkey are provisioned per project and exposed via DATABASE_URL and REDIS_URL.
- Automatic sleep — Apps idle for a configurable period sleep, consuming no CPU or memory until woken.
- Metrics & logs — View request latency, errors, CPU, memory and release history in a single dashboard.
- Self-hostable open source core — Run Shpyrd on your own Kubernetes cluster under the MPL-2.0 license.
- Custom domains & TLS — Attach your own domain with automatic TLS certificates.
- Rollback & releases — Create releases on each deploy and roll back to previous versions with a single command.
Use cases
- Deploy an internal tool for finance with company-wide sign-in and PostgreSQL storage.
- Publish a public website that scales automatically and sleeps when traffic drops.
- Run an AI agent that needs occasional compute, paying only for active time.
- Host a backend API with built-in logs and metrics for quick troubleshooting.
- Self-host the platform for a regulated enterprise on its own cloud.

- shpyrd vs Render: Render offers similar app deployment but focuses on static sites and serverless functions without built-in auth sleep.
- shpyrd vs Railway: Railway provides one-click deployments and managed databases but lacks automatic sleep and built-in sign-in.
- shpyrd vs Fly.io: Fly.io runs full-stack apps close to users with edge networking; Shpyrd adds integrated auth and usage-based sleep.
- shpyrd vs Vercel: Vercel specializes in frontend deployments with serverless functions, whereas Shpyrd includes databases and sleep for any app type.
shpyrd FAQ
What happens when my app outgrows the Free plan?+
Free stops at its limits (project count, CPU, memory) and returns a refusal message; existing apps keep running and you can upgrade.
Does a sleeping app lose data?+
No. Code, settings and data remain; the app wakes in seconds on the next visit.
Can I run Shpyrd myself?+
Yes. The core is open source under MPL-2.0 and can run on any Kubernetes cluster, laptop, AWS or Oracle Cloud.
How am I billed?+
Monthly in US dollars for the calendar month, with usage shown per project in the workspace.
What compute and storage pricing applies?+
CPU is billed per core-hour, memory per GiB-hour (reserved while awake), storage per GiB-month, and egress per GiB.
