Miget

Miget is a modern, collaborative platform-as-a-service (PaaS) that fundamentally rethinks how teams pay for and manage their cloud infrastructure. It moves away from the traditional, costly model of charging per application, database, or worker. Instead, Miget operates on a simple, predictable principle: you select a fixed compute plan based on the resources you need, and then deploy an unlimited number of services—apps, databases, background workers, and preview environments—within that single allocation. This model is built for synergy, empowering developers, indie hackers, and engineering teams to experiment, iterate, and scale without the fear of spiraling, per-service billing surprises. Built on robust Kubernetes with full tenant isolation, Miget offers a production-ready experience from day one, featuring seamless Git integration, zero-config builds, managed data services like PostgreSQL and Redis, automatic TLS, and a 99.95% uptime SLA. It combines the affordability and control of a VPS with the legendary simplicity of platforms like Heroku, fostering a cooperative environment where infrastructure costs are predictable, and teams can focus purely on building what's next, together.

Unlimited Services per Plan

Miget's core innovation is its billing model. Once you choose a compute plan, you can deploy as many applications, relational databases, key-value stores, and background workers as your resources can handle. This eliminates the fragmented, per-component pricing of traditional PaaS, creating a collaborative environment where adding a new microservice or a preview environment is a technical decision, not a financial one. Teams can architect freely, knowing their monthly bill remains fixed and predictable.

GitHub-Native Deployments & Preview Apps

Fostering seamless team collaboration, Miget integrates directly with your GitHub workflow. Every push to a branch can trigger an automatic build and deployment, with aggressive caching for sub-40-second deploy times. Crucially, every pull request automatically generates a full-stack preview environment—complete with its own URL, isolated database, and configuration. This allows entire teams, from developers to product managers, to review and test features in a production-like setting, enhancing cooperation and quality.

Managed Data Services Within Compute

Miget includes managed databases like PostgreSQL and Valkey (Redis-compatible) as integral parts of your compute plan, not as expensive add-ons. This means provisioning a new database for a feature branch or a new service does not incur extra fees. It simplifies the stack, reduces cost anxiety, and allows developers to use the right data tools for the job, all while maintaining the operational benefits of a fully managed service.

Full-Stack Cloning & Instant Redeploys

To accelerate team development and testing cycles, Miget allows you to clone an entire application, its database, and its data with a single click. This creates perfect replicas for debugging, testing, or onboarding. Coupled with intelligent buildpacks (Migetpacks) that auto-detect your stack and cache dependencies, this feature enables instant redeploys and environment duplication, ensuring team members can collaborate on identical setups without manual, error-prone configuration.

Indie Hackers & Solo Founders

For indie hackers launching a startup, Miget is the ideal partner. It provides a full PaaS experience—application hosting, database, and cache—under one predictable, fixed monthly bill. This eliminates budgeting uncertainty, allowing founders to focus their energy on product development and user feedback. The push-to-deploy from GitHub and per-PR preview apps enable rapid, professional iteration cycles typically reserved for larger teams.

Growing Product Teams

As a startup scales, its infrastructure needs to scale cooperatively with the team. Miget supports growing teams by providing autoscaling within the pre-paid compute allocation, team roles, audit logs, and support for custom domains with automatic SSL. This allows engineering teams to adopt a microservices architecture, spin up preview environments for every feature, and manage staging setups without the cost explosions that force difficult platforming conversations.

AI & Prototyping Projects

For developers and teams experimenting with AI-generated code or rapid prototyping, Miget's model is perfect. The ability to deploy from a prompt or a simple configuration file (like skills.md) without deep Git or terminal knowledge lowers the barrier to entry. Unlimited services within a plan encourage experimentation with different models, APIs, and backend services, and preview URLs make it easy to share working demos with collaborators or stakeholders instantly.

Enterprise Development & Compliance

For larger organizations, Miget offers the control and compliance needed for enterprise-grade development. It supports bringing your own cloud (BYOC) or bare metal, and provides tools like Helm charts and Terraform modules for custom orchestration. This allows enterprise platform teams to offer a simple, Heroku-like developer experience internally, while maintaining control over security, compliance, data residency, and costs, fostering synergy between platform engineers and application development teams.

How is Miget different from traditional PaaS like Heroku?

Traditional PaaS platforms charge separately for each component: a web dyno, a worker dyno, a PostgreSQL add-on, a Redis add-on, etc. This per-service billing can become very expensive. Miget flips this model. You pay for a block of compute resources (CPU/RAM) in a fixed plan, and you can run an unlimited number of apps, databases, and workers inside that plan. This makes costs predictable and scales with your actual resource usage, not your service count.

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

Miget is designed for cooperative scaling within boundaries. Your applications can autoscale horizontally, but they will do so only within the total CPU and memory limits of your selected plan. If you consistently need more resources, you would upgrade to a larger compute plan. This model prevents surprise bills from unexpected traffic spikes while giving you clear control over your maximum monthly spend.

Are the managed databases (PostgreSQL, Redis) production-ready?

Yes, absolutely. The managed PostgreSQL, Valkey (Redis), and other data services are built with production workloads in mind. They run within your isolated compute environment, benefit from the platform's 99.95% uptime SLA, and include standard features like automated backups, point-in-time recovery, and high availability configurations. They are not "lite" versions; they are fully managed services included in your plan.

Can I use my own custom domain and SSL certificate?

Yes, Miget fully supports custom domains. You can easily connect your domain (e.g., app.yourcompany.com) to your Miget application through the dashboard or CLI. The platform automatically provisions and manages TLS/SSL certificates for you via Let's Encrypt, ensuring your applications are served over HTTPS with valid certificates that auto-renew, requiring zero ongoing configuration from your team.
