Ship confidently without the DevOps tax
Upsun is a managed application platform driven entirely by your repository. Bring your stack, any language, any framework, any AI tool. The result: predictable costs, consistent environments, and a reliable path to production.
Less drift, faster onboarding, readable audits
Your environments stay in sync
Every branch deploys with the same configuration as production, including services, route and data. No separate staging mode that quietly drifts.
Fast onboarding
Your stack lives in YAML in your repo. New developers, contractors, and AI coding tools all read the same source of truth, no tribal knowledge, buried admin UI, or waiting on console permissions.
Audits become readable
Every infrastructure change is a Git commit. Audits go from days of digging through logs to a git log your auditors can actually follow.
Evaluate with the right framework
Most platform comparisons stop at price and uptime. But the real cost of a platform is measured in deploy confidence, incident recovery time, and cloud portability. Use these criteria when comparing your options:
- Team velocity : How much faster can you ship when infrastructure is automated.
- Environmental parity: Does dev match production exactly, or are you guessing.
- Service density: How many services, languages, or runtimes can fit in one project.
- Build reproducibility: Can you rebuild the same artifact six months from now.
- Downtime tolerance: What is the real cost of maintenance windows versus zero-downtime deploys.
- Compliance posture: How much audit preparation time do built-in certifications save.
How Upsun delivers against those criteria
| Capability | What it means | Outcome |
| Production-parity preview environments | Every branch gets a byte-for-byte clone of production. Data, services, and routing included | Stakeholders review a URL, not a screenshots |
| Zero-downtime deployments | Blue-green deploys with automatic health checks. | Ship during business hours. No maintenance windows |
| Multi-stack in one project | Multiple languages, frameworks, and services in a single repo and deploy | No splitting services across projects to make them fit |
| Infrastructure as code | Your entire stack lives in YAML in your repo. Versioned, auditable, rebuildable | Hours to onboard. Reproducible six months later |
| Built-in compliance | PCI DSS Level 1, SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA | Pass audits faster. No bolt-on security tooling |
| Built-in APM | Continuous profiling and performance traces, no external agents | Find bottlenecks before customers do |
| Resource-based scaling | Scale CPU, memory, or instances independently | No over-provisioning. No manual intervention during spikes |
One project. Any stack
Production-parity preview environments
Every branch becomes a full-stack environment with cloned data, services, and routing. Reviewers test real behavior, not screenshots. QA catches real issues before merge.
Multi-cloud, no lock-in
Upsun runs on AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, IBM Cloud, and OVHcloud with portable YAML configuration. Pick a region by compliance, cost, or latency. No provider-specific tooling, no rewrites between clouds.
25+ managed services
Upsun ships PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, OpenSearch, Solr, RabbitMQ, and more patched, scaled, and backed up automatically. Add them to your stack with a few lines of YAML.
Governance and control
Set environment policies, service configuration, and access controls once at the team level. Apply them across every project, environment, and application; no re-implementing per app.
Observability and APM
Upsun ships with continuous profiling, APM traces, and infrastructure metrics out of the box. Find bottlenecks before customers do without separate vendor, extra agent, or second bill.
Git-driven workflow
Every branch is an environment. Every merge is a promotion. Activity hooks let you script the rest. Your delivery pipeline follows your code
Pay only for what you provision
CPU and RAM determine your bill. No per-seat fees, traffic-spike penalties, or surprise overages. Size your project before you commit.
See the pricing calculatorGet started in three steps
Connect
Link any Git repository. Define your stack in a YAML file inside the repo.
Push
Every push triggers a build. Every branch becomes an isolated environment with its own URL, services, and data.
Deploy
Merge to main, and Upsun deploys to production with zero downtime. Same configuration, no hand-offs.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I migrate my existing application to Upsun?
Yes. Add a YAML file to your repository describing your stack, point Upsun at the repository, and deploy. Upsun supports PHP, Python, Node.js, Ruby, Java, Go, and .NET. Your existing application deploys without re-architecting.
Do I need DevOps experience to use Upsun?
No, but YAML helps. Most teams are productive within a day.
Are the resources I configure guaranteed?
Yes. CPU and RAM are defined per service in YAML and dedicated to your service. You pay for the horsepower you provision, and you get it.
Will Upsun scale as my traffic grows?
Yes. Scale vertically for more CPU and RAM per instance, scale horizontally for more instances, and add managed services as you grow.
Can I bring my own cloud region?
Yes. Upsun runs on AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, IBM Cloud, and OVHcloud across multiple regions with a portable YAML configuration that works across every cloud.
What happens to data in a preview environment?
Cloned from production, isolated, and sanitizable. Destroyed when the branch is deleted.
