Create an example project using the tech you are familiar with. Exploration on easy mode — single click and you can watch Zerops build and deploy a project, and then explore the platform through it. No need to install CLIs, setup configurations, SSH keys and whatnot.
A simple example with read and write to DB.
SSG / SSR examples of popular frameworks.
More complex examples with DB, Redis, storage.
Dedicated, robust, and fully managed infrastructure is deployed with each project in Zerops. This infrastructure is what allows Zerops to provide a unified and flexible experience, no matter if you deploy a simple static page or a large setup with multiple databases, storage solutions, and microservices. The same infrastructure is then used for development, production, or any other environment, including those for local and remote development.

Our vision is a platform with a unified experience you can use for the whole lifecycle of the project, from local development to production. No more "but it works on my machine." For that, we needed a pricing model that doesn't get in the way of good development practices with artificial fees for seats, doesn't hamper the experience with different feature tiers, and is always affordable and transparent no matter how many resources your projects use.
Single-container core services with modest build hours, backup storage, and egress bandwidth included. Ideal for development and smaller production projects.
Highly available core services with generous build hours, backup storage, and egress bandwidth included. Perfect for production workloads that mean business.
We'll compare a medium-sized real-life production project with a typical setup, and try to configure a similar setup for each provider. When possible, dedicated CPU cores will be used to normalize performance levels, as shared CPUs can have varying overcommit ratios between providers. While this example represents a specific project, pricing trends remain consistent across various project sizes, from smaller to larger projects.
Zerops, originally founded in 2018, began as an internal project at vshosting.eu, one of the largest provider of managed hosting solutions in Central Europe. Following years of extensive development and a brief "stumble", Zerops was acquired by the original development team in 2024 and launched as an independent spin-off, with vshosting / Contabo as a strategic partner, and backed by Presto Ventures and Gi21. Zerops is running on bare metal, the platform is built from ground up, created using Golang, with containers built on top of Incus.
