For developers used to Heroku, Render, or Vercel, the "per-service" tax is a constant hurdle. Adding a single database, a background worker, or a preview environment often means a direct increase in your monthly bill. Miget changes the game by introducing a fixed compute plan where you pay for capacity, not components.
The Problem: The "Microservice Tax"
Traditional platforms punish experimentation. A simple microservices setup (Web + Worker + Postgres + Redis + 3 Previews) can easily exceed $215/month on legacy PaaS providers.
On Miget, that exact same setup costs as little as $19/mo because you can deploy unlimited apps, databases, and workers inside your allocated compute resource.
Production-Ready Features
Miget combines the affordability of a VPS with the "push-to-deploy" simplicity of a high-end PaaS:
- GitHub-Native Deploys: Every push to your main branch triggers a production build. Every Pull Request automatically spins up a full-stack preview environment with its own URL.
- Migetpacks: Zero-config container builds for 14 languages (Node.js, Python, Go, Ruby, etc.). No Dockerfile required.
- Full-Stack Cloning: Clone your app and its database in one click to test new features against real-world data conditions.
- 99.95% Uptime SLA: Reliable infrastructure designed for engineering teams building "what's next."
Specialized for Every Developer
Miget adapts to your specific workflow, whether you are building with AI or scaling a team:
- Vibe Coders: Use "Agent Skills" to deploy AI-generated code instantly from your editor (Cursor, Windsurf) without touching the terminal.
- Indie Hackers: Launch fast with predictable monthly billing—no surprise costs from usage spikes.
- Enterprise: Bring your own cloud or bare metal while utilizing Miget's control plane, audit logs, and SSO.
Open Source at the Core
Unlike black-box platforms, Miget builds in the open. Key infrastructure components are available on GitHub, including:
- migetpacks: Automated container builds.
- agent-skills: AI agent skills for infrastructure management.
- kubeoos: Kubernetes controller for automated node management.
| Feature | Legacy PaaS | Miget |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing Model | Per Service / Component | Per Compute Capacity |
| Additional Services | Increases Bill | $0 (Unlimited within plan) |
| Deploy Time | Varies | < 40 seconds |
| Preview Apps | Often Paid Add-on | Included / Unlimited |
Conclusion: Capacity, Not Components
By moving away from per-service billing, Miget allows developers to focus on building rather than budgeting. It’s an ideal solution for anyone running mixed stacks or multiple microservices who wants to keep costs flat and predictable.
