The PaaS you can actually own.
Push code, get a URL. Helicarrier builds straight from your Git repo, runs managed databases, and scales functions to zero — on our cloud, or on a single box you control. No lock-in, no Kubernetes to babysit.
No credit card to start · Free tier on the cloud · MIT-licensed engine
A whole platform team, compiled into a single static binary.
No add-ons to wire up, no control plane to operate. Git builds, managed data, edge routing, and TLS all ship together — and arm themselves on first boot.
Deploy from Git
Connect a repo and push. Railpack builds zero-config, or bring your own Dockerfile. Webhooks auto-deploy the branch you map.
Managed databases
Postgres (+pgvector), MySQL, MariaDB, Redis, MongoDB, ClickHouse, Qdrant and MinIO — with backups, data explorers and one-drag linking.
Functions that scale to zero
Ship HTTP functions that sleep when idle and cold-start on the next request. You pay for traffic, not for an idle container.
Staged changes
Plan, review, then apply. Every edit batches into a changeset that provisions in dependency order — and rolls back losslessly on failure.
Instant rollbacks
Every release keeps its image. Roll back to any previous deploy in one click — no rebuild, no downtime, volumes untouched.
Domains & TLS, automatic
Point a domain and the managed Caddy edge handles HTTPS, routing and certificate renewal. Health probes gate every promotion.
Three steps to your first deploy.
Connect GitHub
Install the Helicarrier GitHub App on the repos you choose. Each tenant gets its own scoped, revocable installation.
Drop services on the canvas
Add a web service, a database, a worker or a function. Drag an edge between them to inject the connection URL — no copy-paste secrets.
Apply & push
Hit apply and Helicarrier builds, health-checks and routes it. Every later push redeploys automatically — with one-click rollback if it bites.
Run it our way, or run it your way.
The Helicarrier engine is open source — the same code whether you self-host on a $5 VPS or let us run it for you. Start on the cloud, move to your own infrastructure, and never rewrite a thing.
Helicarrier Cloud
ManagedWe run the box, the edge and the backups. You ship. Onboard in minutes and never touch a server.
- Zero-setup — sign up and deploy
- Managed Postgres, Redis & more, with backups
- Pay only for the RAM you actually run
- Automatic TLS & custom domains
Self-hosted
Open sourceOne command on any Linux box with Docker. The engine self-provisions everything else and runs entirely on your terms.
- A single static Go binary — no runtime deps
- Self-provisions BuildKit + Caddy on first boot
- Your data, your domains, your hardware
- MIT licensed — fork it, audit it, keep it
Pay for what runs. Nothing else.
No per-seat tax, no surprise egress invoice. Cloud usage is metered on the RAM your services actually use, by the minute. Self-hosting is, and always will be, free.
