Cloud Hosting Is Broken

Why Grid Exists

These aren't edge cases. They're the standard experience — and each one gets a platform-level fix.

Problem
How Grid Solves It
Product
P—01

The Cloud Tax

Hyperscalers mark up compute 3–10x. Managed PaaS adds another layer. Infrastructure eats your runway.

Run on your own VPS. Grid orchestrates while you keep full ownership — compute costs drop by up to 90%.

P—02

Vendor Lock-In

Proprietary APIs, custom runtimes, opaque pricing. Your infrastructure becomes a liability.

100% open source (AGPL v3). Standard Docker containers — if Grid disappears, your workloads keep running.

HA Sold as Premium

Replication, failover, and autoscaling are table stakes — yet every platform charges extra for basic reliability.

PostgreSQL HA, Redis Sentinel, and AI autoscaling built in. Zero extra cost.

DevOps Complexity

Kubernetes, Terraform, Helm, IAM. Developers spend more time on infrastructure than on product.

Push to deploy. Nixpacks builds any language or framework; PR previews ship full-stack environments.

No Other PaaS Does This

Unique Capabilities

Built-in, not bolted on. Open-source, not proprietary. 5 deploy types — Git, Docker, Upload, Template, Function.

AI Senate Committee

17 LLM providers deliberate every infrastructure decision. Multi-model consensus with cost caps — before any automated action.

Jules Auto-Fix Loop

Failed deploy? Jules analyzes the error, opens a pull request with the fix, and redeploys. Remediation that ships code.

Zero-Downtime Transfers

Move services between nodes with automatic backup, transfer, restore, and DNS update. 48-hour rollback window.

Docker Socket Isolation

Build containers never touch the Docker socket. A read-only proxy mediates every command.

SPIRE mTLS

Every workload gets a cryptographic identity. Service-to-service auth without shared secrets, across two trust domains.

SSRF Guard

Runtime blocks metadata and internal IPs. Resolve-then-check — immune to DNS rebinding attacks.

Custom Addon Bundles

Declare Postgres, Redis, Meilisearch, MinIO, Kafka, and 40+ engines as code. Full lifecycle: logs, health, backup, metrics.

Node Attestation

Every server proves identity via HMAC challenge-response before joining the mesh. Strict SSH host verification.

Inter-Server TLS

TLS between all nodes with certificate validation. STRICT mode by default — no trust-on-first-use.

Fail-Closed Model

Missing keys? Grid crashes on boot — never falls back to hardcoded defaults. Defense in depth.

WAF Shadow Parity

The WAF proves every verdict byte-identical on a shadow port before any edge cutover.

Idle-Minimal

Burst workers idle-stop, memory merges and compresses. Heavy load consumes freely — idle sips ~3.5GB.

03

Zero Downtime, Every Layer

High Availability

Replication, failover, autoscaling, and recovery are table stakes. Grid ships them all — at no extra cost.

PostgreSQL HA

Patroni-managed primary with streaming replicas. Automatic failover in seconds, PgCat read/write splitting.

Redis Sentinel

Automatic cache and broker failover. Configurable quorum and replica priorities.

AI Autoscaler

Three engines: classic CPU hysteresis, AI anomaly detection, and container admin surface.

Disaster Recovery

Tiered backups (6h/24h/7d), cloud replication to S3/R2/MinIO, encryption key rotation.

WireGuard Mesh

Encrypted node-to-node mesh across your fleet. Auto-allocated IPs, per-peer latency tracking.

Self-Healing

Daemon down, disk full, OOM — classified and fixed automatically. Escalates to AI after 5 failed attempts.

Ship With Confidence

Deploy Pipeline

Every push runs the full pipeline: build, scan, sign, deploy, health check, monitor. AI auto-remediates failures. Zero-downtime blue-green releases.

$ git push origin main
✓ Nixpacks build — any language, any framework
✓ Trivy scan — 0 critical CVEs · Cosign signed
✓ Blue-green deploy — 0ms downtime
✓ Health check — 200 OK · AI Guardian watching
live in 23s

Signed & Hardened

Trivy CVE scans, Cosign image signing, gVisor sandboxes, Falco syscall monitoring, fail2ban, scoped registry RBAC. Every deploy.

Blue-Green + Previews

Health-gated cutover with zero downtime. Every pull request gets a full-stack preview environment.

CLI + Dashboard

Control your fleet from anywhere. AI scans repos and generates dependency-aware deploy plans; addons auto-provision.

Observability + Secrets

Loki, Prometheus, and Grafana built in. Self-hosted secrets vault with formal rotation runbooks.

Deploy your first
cluster in minutes.

100% free and open-source. Connect your VPS — any provider, bare metal, or air-gapped — and start deploying. No credit card required.
