What is seenode?
Seenode is a European PaaS for deploying web apps directly from a GitHub repo. The platform autodetects Python, Node.js, Go, and Elixir, containerizes the project, and ships it with built-in SSL, persistent storage, worker queues, and 14 days of build, runtime, and request logs. Pricing is per-resource with examples like $9 per month for three 512 MB app instances and $4 per month for a 1 GB PostgreSQL database.
Why seenode works
Most small teams want a Heroku-style deploy experience without paying Heroku-era prices or assembling AWS plumbing themselves. Seenode hides the container and infrastructure layer behind a GitHub connection while keeping pricing per-resource and EU-hosted, which removes both the operational cost and the data residency objection in one move.
seenode features
- GitHub connect and deploy. A repo connection plus four minute deploy gets a first version live without an account upfront.
- Multi-runtime support. Python, Node.js, Go, and Elixir are detected automatically and containerized in production-ready images.
- Worker queues and managed databases. Background workers and managed PostgreSQL run alongside web services so a side project becomes a real app on one platform.
- Centralized logs. Fourteen days of build, runtime, and request logs are retained without a separate logging service.
- Private networking. Internal service-to-service traffic stays inside Seenode's private network instead of going over the public internet.
- Unlimited team members. The pricing model is per-resource rather than per-seat, so team size does not push monthly costs up.
Who seenode is for
- Indie developers and side-project builders who want a Heroku-style flow without the cost or vendor lock-in.
- European startups that need GDPR-aligned EU hosting without operating their own Kubernetes cluster.
- Small SaaS teams running a web service, worker, and database who want one bill and one console.
- Bootstrap founders watching unit economics who want predictable per-resource pricing rather than usage-based surprises.
