What is Sliplane?
Sliplane is a simple and cost effective cloud platform for running applications, databases, and storage without managing infrastructure yourself.
Use Sliplane to deploy services from GitHub or container registries, run them on managed servers, add managed PostgreSQL databases, and store files in S3-compatible object storage. The platform handles the production basics around builds, deploys, health, logs, metrics, backups, SSL, and access control so you can focus on shipping.
Sliplane started out as a Docker hosting platform, and containers are still at the heart of what we do. But you no longer need to know anything about Docker to deploy with us, and the platform now covers more of your stack — from deploying your apps to managed PostgreSQL databases and object storage.
One of Sliplane’s core features is continuous deployment. Connect a GitHub repository, and Sliplane can automatically build and deploy your application on every new commit.

How much does Sliplane cost?
Section titled “How much does Sliplane cost?”Sliplane charges per server. Host unlimited services for one price. Servers start at €9/month + VAT with per-hour billing (you only pay for the time your server exists). See our detailed billing guide for more information.
Where are my servers hosted?
Section titled “Where are my servers hosted?”Servers in Germany and Finland run on infrastructure from Hetzner GmbH. Servers in the US and Singapore run on Datapacket and Latitude. In all locations you get stable and powerful hardware at highly competitive rates.
Can I bring my own server?
Section titled “Can I bring my own server?”No, we provide a fully managed service, so you don’t need to deal with server management at all. A public Sliplane agent that you can install on your own infrastructure does not exist.
Why should I use Sliplane?
Section titled “Why should I use Sliplane?”Sliplane is built for shipping real applications quickly without taking on the operational work of managing servers yourself. You can deploy code with or without a Dockerfile, run multiple services on one server, add managed PostgreSQL databases, store files in S3-compatible Object Storage, and keep the setup affordable with simple per-server pricing.
Do I need to know Docker to use Sliplane?
Section titled “Do I need to know Docker to use Sliplane?”No. You can deploy straight from a GitHub repository without writing a Dockerfile — Sliplane detects your application’s stack and builds it for you using Railpack. If you do want full control over the build, you can add a Dockerfile and Sliplane will use it instead.
