How a buyer can evaluate the product
A developer can connect a repository and deploy on a Hobby workspace with free or low-cost service options. Public documentation covers build, start, environment and region configuration.
Production review adds instance sizing, autoscaling, health checks, deploy behavior, persistent disks, database backups and availability, outbound and private networking, secrets, logs, maintenance, support and incident ownership.
The current pricing model combines workspace subscription with fixed-instance compute and metered bandwidth, storage, build minutes, domains, PrivateLink and workflow compute. Enterprise is custom; startup and migration credits do not establish the steady-state bill.

Evidence a buyer can inspect
| Buyer question | Public evidence | How to use it | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| What gets deployed? | Docs distinguish services, workers, cron jobs, databases, key value and workflows. | Inventory every production resource and environment. | Docs |
| How does it recover? | Health checks, deploys, scaling and database controls are documented. | Exercise restart, failed deploy and restore paths. | Operations docs |
| What creates recurring cost? | Workspace, instance and metered infrastructure charges are listed separately. | Calculate steady state plus peak and data transfer. | Pricing |
| What moves to enterprise? | Private networking, organization controls, support and contract terms vary by plan. | Request the exact control and SLA schedule. | Pricing |

How to use this in your own materials
The buyer-ready blueprint is a resource inventory with owner, region, instance, scaling, persistence, backup and monthly unit. The speed of the first deploy is relevant evidence for onboarding, but production readiness depends on the operational choices attached to each resource.
Method and limits
We read the listed first-party pages on 2026-09-08 and compared them with our notes from a July 2026 review. We looked at what a technical buyer can verify before contacting sales. We did not test the product or check customer results the vendor reports.
- We did not deploy or load-test an application.
- Free-tier behavior and public prices can change.
- No public self-serve-to-sales conversion rate or enterprise minimum was found.
