Simplifying Self-Hosting for Developers Everywhere

💡 For anyone new to PikaPods, especially those in the dev community:
One of the biggest misconceptions about self-hosting is that it has to be complex. Managing servers, configurations, setting up monitoring, automating updates… It’s powerful, but it takes time you don’t always have.

PikaPods was built to remove that friction.

You choose an open-source app.

We handle deployment, updates, backups, scaling, and monitoring — all on infrastructure optimized for lightweight, efficient workloads.

You keep full control of your data and the freedom of FOSS, without the operational overhead.

For developers, this means:
🔹 Faster prototypes and internal tools
🔹 Zero-maintenance side projects
🔹 Predictable pricing for production deployments
🔹 No vendor lock-in — ever

It’s the simplest way to run open-source software without giving up reliability or control.

What was the first app you deployed on PikaPods, and what are you building next?
