Everything you need to ship

Heroku-level developer experience. Infrastructure you control.

One-click deploys

Powered by Kamal — push your code and LaunchPad handles the rest. Zero-downtime rolling deployments, every time.

Managed PostgreSQL

Provision and manage PostgreSQL databases directly on your Hetzner servers. No separate database bill.

Automated backups

Scheduled pg_dump backups uploaded to Backblaze B2. S3-compatible, affordable, and automatic before every deploy.

Zero-downtime rollbacks

Restore your database to any backup with the swap strategy. Verify before cutting over — no data loss, no panic.

Server health monitoring

Health checks on every server. Know instantly when something is wrong before your users do.

Beautiful dark mode

A dashboard you actually want to look at. Full dark mode support with system preference detection.

Up and running in minutes

Three steps from sign-up to your first deployment.

1

Connect your Hetzner account

Paste in your Hetzner Cloud API token. LaunchPad takes it from there — provisioning servers, setting up Docker, hardening with UFW and fail2ban.

2

Deploy your app

Add your app, point it to your Git repo, and hit deploy. Kamal handles zero-downtime rolling deploys with automatic health checks.

3

Sleep easy with automated backups

Backblaze B2 keeps your database backups safe and affordable. Every deploy triggers a backup. Roll back to any point in minutes.
