Host anything, quoted flat
Not every workload is a static site or a single dedicated instance. Queues, background workers, realtime apps, multi-service stacks — when it doesn't fit the two standard shapes, we design the stack that does and run it at one fixed monthly rate.
When the workload doesn't fit
Static hosting and a single dedicated instance cover most sites. This is for everything else — though before assuming your stack is one-of-a-kind, check the compatibility register; more frameworks are already named there than you'd expect.
Background workers & queues
Jobs that run off a queue, retry on failure, and never touch a browser — sized to the workload, not a per-invocation meter. See Background jobs for how one actually runs.
Scheduled & cron jobs
Nightly rollups, reminder emails, data syncs — anything that runs on a clock rather than a request. See Background jobs for the clock, and Email for how the mail half of that actually gets sent.
Object storage & media
Uploads, transcoded video, generated exports — durable storage sized and priced for what you actually keep. See Files for what goes on it.
Realtime & websockets
Live dashboards, chat, presence — long-lived connections that a stateless edge function can’t hold open.
Multi-service apps
A front end, an API, a worker, and a database that need to talk to each other on one coherent stack.
Data & event pipelines
Ingest, transform, and land events somewhere queryable — wired together and kept running.
From a description to a running stack
Five steps from a plain-language brief to a stack we manage for as long as you run it.
- 1
Describe the workload
Tell us what you’re running through the quote form — no email address to hunt for, no sales call required.
- 2
We design the stack
We map the workload to the pieces it actually needs — compute, queues, storage, a database — nothing bolted on for its own sake.
- 3
A fixed monthly quote
One flat number, back within 24 hours — no usage meter to watch, no line-item surprises later.
- 4
We provision, harden, and run it
Provisioned as code, patched, monitored, and backed up nightly — the same management as every other tier we run.
- 5
Keep iterating with the loop
Once it’s live and defined as code, CodeHerder briefs turn into pull requests against it, and CustomLabs is there for the bigger builds.
What's included
Same management as every tier we run — folded into the flat monthly quote, not billed as an add-on.
- TLS certificates
- DNS management
- Daily backups
- Monitoring & alerts
- Security patching
- A human who answers
No proprietary platform sits underneath it — it's your stack, running on tier-one infrastructure, and nothing you can't take with you.
It doesn't stop at launch
Keep exploring
- What we host
Named stacks and frameworks, from Next.js to Docker Compose — see where yours lands.
- Dedicated compute
A fixed-price instance for APIs, databases, and full applications.
- Databases
Managed databases, backed up nightly alongside the rest of your stack.
- Migrations
Already running somewhere else? Point us at it and we move it — any app, any stack.
- The Loop
How CustomLabs builds it and CodeHerder keeps iterating on it once it’s live.
- Background jobs
What actually runs a background worker or a scheduled job, and who owns whether it is safe to run twice.
- Email
Outbound mail for a background worker or a scheduled job — the sending path and the records it needs.
- Pricing
The full rate card — flat, predictable, and posted in the open.
