Miget

Miget is a modern platform-as-a-service (PaaS) that redefines cloud hosting by shifting from a per-service billing model to a simple, predictable compute-based plan. Instead of paying separately for each application, database, and background worker, you select a fixed compute plan and deploy an unlimited number of services within its resources. This model is built for developers, indie hackers, and growing teams who are tired of surprise invoices and want to experiment, build, and scale without financial friction. At its core, Miget combines the affordability and control of a VPS with the legendary simplicity and developer experience of platforms like Heroku. It's production-ready from day one, offering managed PostgreSQL, Redis, automatic TLS, and Git-based deploys in under 40 seconds. Whether you're shipping a quick AI side project or managing a complex microservices stack, Miget ensures you only pay for the compute you reserve, empowering you to build more for less.

Unlimited Services Per Plan

With Miget, your monthly compute plan is a single, powerful resource pool. You can deploy as many web apps, APIs, managed databases (like PostgreSQL and Redis), and background workers as your plan's resources can handle, all for no additional fee. This eliminates the per-component pricing of traditional PaaS, turning infrastructure from a budgeting headache into a simple, predictable cost. You get one bill, with no surprises, no matter how many services you spin up.

GitHub-Native Deployments

Deployment is seamlessly integrated with your GitHub workflow. Simply connect your repository, and Miget handles the rest. Every push to your main branch triggers an automatic production deployment, and every pull request generates a full-stack preview environment with its own unique URL. There's zero configuration needed for builds thanks to intelligent buildpack detection and an aggressive caching system, making deploys fast and effortless.

Full-Stack Preview Environments

Every pull request automatically gets its own isolated, full-stack preview. This includes a clone of your application, its database, and even the data, allowing for thorough testing in an environment that mirrors production. You can share these preview URLs with teammates or clients to gather feedback, ensuring that every change is validated against real conditions before it ever hits your main branch.

Managed Infrastructure & Auto-Scaling

Miget provides fully managed databases and caches like PostgreSQL and Valkey (Redis-compatible) within your compute allocation. Your applications also benefit from horizontal auto-scaling, but critically, this scaling happens within the confines of your pre-purchased compute plan. This means your performance can improve to handle traffic spikes without any change to your monthly bill, giving you the elasticity of the cloud with the cost predictability of a fixed plan.

Indie Hackers & Solo Developers

For bootstrappers launching a new SaaS or side project, Miget is the ideal launchpad. You get a complete PaaS (app, database, cache) on a single, predictable bill. The fixed monthly pricing means no usage surprises, and the GitHub push-to-deploy workflow lets you ship features incredibly fast. It's the perfect blend of simplicity for getting started and robustness for handling your first customers.

AI-Powered Application Prototyping

Developers building with AI tools can ship code instantly from prompts. Using features like Miget skills, you can set up infrastructure with one click without touching Git or a terminal. Instantly generated preview URLs make it easy to share working prototypes with stakeholders for rapid iteration and feedback, dramatically accelerating the AI development cycle.

Growing Startup Teams

As your team and product complexity grow, Miget scales with you without forcing a costly re-platforming. Teams can manage roles, audit logs, and use custom domains with automatic SSL. The model of autoscaling within a fixed cost allocation allows engineering to focus on building features instead of managing infrastructure costs, perfect for microservices architectures.

Internal Tools & Preview Staging

Miget is excellent for deploying internal dashboards, admin panels, or staging environments. The ability to clone an entire app and database stack in one click makes creating accurate staging or testing environments trivial. The per-PR preview feature also serves as a perfect, ephemeral staging area for every feature branch, improving code review and QA processes.

How is Miget different from traditional PaaS like Heroku?

Traditional PaaS platforms charge you separately for each component: a web dyno, a worker dyno, a database, and a cache all appear as line items on your bill. Miget flips this model. You pay for a block of compute (CPU/RAM) and can run an unlimited number of apps, databases, and workers inside that block for one flat, predictable price. This makes it vastly more cost-effective for projects with multiple services.

What does "deploy in under 40 seconds" mean?

This refers to our optimized build and deployment pipeline. When you push code to your connected Git repository, Miget uses intelligent buildpacks (Migetpacks) to automatically detect your stack (Node.js, Python, Ruby, etc.). Combined with an aggressive layer caching system, this means subsequent deploys are extremely fast, typically completing in under 40 seconds from push to your application being live.

Is there a free tier?

Yes, Miget offers a free tier to start building at no cost. This allows you to experiment with the platform, deploy sample applications, and understand the workflow. The free tier includes a limited amount of compute resources, perfect for testing, prototypes, and small hobby projects before you upgrade to a paid plan for production workloads.

Can I use my own custom domain?

Absolutely. Miget supports custom domains for your applications. Once you point your domain's DNS records to Miget, the platform automatically provisions and manages TLS/SSL certificates for you, ensuring your site is served over HTTPS with no manual configuration required. This is included across all paid plans.

Miget operates on a fixed compute plan model. You choose a plan based on the amount of vCPU and RAM you need, and that single monthly fee covers all the apps, databases, and workers you can run within those resources. This stands in contrast to per-service billing. The platform offers a free tier to get started, with paid plans beginning at a predictable monthly rate (e.g., a plan comparable to a $215 traditional PaaS setup can cost as little as $19/month on Miget). All plans include core features like GitHub deployments, preview apps, managed databases, custom domains, and automatic TLS.
