Miget

Miget is a modern Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) that fundamentally rethinks cloud pricing and developer experience. It solves the core financial problem with traditional platforms like Heroku, where every new application, database, or background worker adds a separate, recurring charge to your bill. This per-service model stifles innovation, punishes architectural experimentation, and turns infrastructure into a constant budgeting headache. Miget flips this model on its head. Instead of paying for each component, you select a fixed compute plan based on the resources you need (like CPU and RAM). Within that reserved capacity, you can deploy an unlimited number of services—web apps, APIs, managed PostgreSQL databases, Redis instances, and background workers—all for one predictable monthly price. Built on robust, isolated Kubernetes infrastructure, Miget offers a seamless, production-ready workflow with GitHub-native deployments, automatic TLS, custom domains, and preview environments for every pull request. It’s designed for everyone from indie hackers and solo developers launching side projects to growing startups and enterprises that need to scale their microservices architecture without unpredictable cost explosions. With Miget, you only pay for the compute you reserve, not the number of things you build on it.

Unlimited Services Per Plan

This is the cornerstone of Miget's value proposition. Once you choose a compute plan, you are not limited in the number of applications, databases (like PostgreSQL or Redis), or background workers you can deploy within its resource boundaries. This eliminates the fear of "service sprawl" costing you hundreds of dollars extra per month. You can experiment freely, build microservices, and create preview environments without ever seeing a per-service fee on your invoice, leading to truly predictable and often significantly lower costs.

GitHub-Native Deployments & Preview Apps

Miget integrates deeply with your GitHub workflow for a zero-friction deployment experience. Simply connect your repository, and every push to your main branch triggers an automatic production deployment. More powerfully, every pull request automatically generates a full-stack, isolated preview environment with its own unique URL. This includes your app, its database, and environment variables, allowing for thorough testing in a production-like setting without any manual configuration or extra cost.

Managed Databases Inside Your Plan

Unlike traditional PaaS that charge separately for data services, Miget includes managed databases like PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Valkey (a Redis-compatible store) as part of your compute allocation. There is no extra billing line item for adding a database to your application. This simplifies your stack management and cost forecasting, ensuring that building a full-featured application with persistent storage doesn't break your budget.

Full-Stack Cloning & Instant Redeploys

Miget empowers rapid development and testing with its one-click cloning feature. You can clone an entire application, including its database schema and data, to create a perfect replica for debugging, feature development, or staging. Combined with intelligent build caching (via Migetpacks that auto-detect your stack), this results in incredibly fast deployment times—often under 40 seconds—for both initial deploys and subsequent redeploys, dramatically improving developer velocity.

Indie Hackers & Solo Founders

For solo developers building and launching products, Miget is ideal. It provides the simplicity of a traditional PaaS for easy deployment but with the crucial advantage of fixed, predictable pricing. An indie hacker can deploy their main application, a separate admin panel, a PostgreSQL database, a Redis cache, and multiple background workers for tasks like email processing—all under a single, affordable monthly plan, avoiding the complex and expensive billing of other platforms.

Growing Startups with Microservices

As a startup scales from a monolith to a microservices architecture, costs on per-service platforms can skyrocket. Miget allows engineering teams to decompose their application into multiple, isolated services (APIs, frontends, workers) and deploy them all within one compute plan. This enables architectural best practices and scaling without the corresponding financial penalty, keeping infrastructure costs predictable and manageable during growth.

Agency & Client Project Development

Development agencies managing multiple client projects benefit immensely from Miget's model. Each client project can be deployed as its own set of services within the agency's compute plan. The ability to spin up full-stack preview environments for every PR is perfect for client reviews and approvals. This setup consolidates infrastructure management and costs, providing clarity and control over all client work from a single dashboard.

Enterprise Development & Internal Tools

Large organizations can use Miget to host a vast array of internal tools, dashboards, and APIs. Teams can innovate and deploy new tools without requiring separate budget approvals for each new service, as they all fall under the organization's existing compute allocation. Features like team roles, audit logs, and support for custom domains/VPCs make it suitable for enterprise-grade security and compliance requirements.

How does pricing work if services are unlimited?

Miget operates on a capacity-based model. You select a monthly compute plan that reserves a specific amount of CPU and memory resources (e.g., 2 vCPUs, 4GB RAM). You can deploy as many apps, databases, and workers as you want, as long as their collective resource usage stays within the limits of your chosen plan. You pay for the plan, not per individual service, making your bill simple and predictable.

What happens if I exceed my plan's compute resources?

If your collection of services begins to use more CPU or memory than your plan includes, Miget's infrastructure will throttle performance to stay within your allocated limits to avoid overage charges. To maintain optimal performance, you would need to upgrade to a larger compute plan. This model gives you clear cost control and prevents surprise bills from unexpected traffic spikes or resource leaks.

Are the databases truly production-ready?

Yes. The managed databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Valkey) offered within your Miget plan are not lightweight containers; they are fully managed, durable services with automated backups, failover, and patches. They run with the same isolation and reliability guarantees as your applications, making them suitable for production workloads without the management overhead or extra cost.

How does the preview environment feature work?

When you create a pull request on GitHub, Miget automatically detects it. It then builds your application from the feature branch, provisions an isolated copy of its linked database (with schema but optionally without production data), and deploys everything to a unique, temporary URL. This creates a complete, functional preview of the changes for testing and review. Once the PR is merged or closed, the preview environment and its resources are automatically cleaned up.

Miget offers a tiered pricing model based on compute capacity, with each tier allowing unlimited services. A free tier is available to start building at no cost. Paid plans begin with a Starter tier and scale up to higher-performance plans for production workloads, all featuring a 99.95% uptime SLA. The key differentiator is that all plans include unlimited apps, databases (PostgreSQL, Redis), and workers within the selected compute limits, with no per-service fees. This contrasts sharply with traditional PaaS pricing, where a comparable setup of multiple services could easily cost over $200 per month. Miget's model ensures one predictable monthly bill for your reserved compute power.
