Cloud that respects developers — human and AI.
Full Linux containers, managed services, a dedicated
private network — from remote / agent environments
to highly-available prod, nothing changes but scale.
Try Zerops in < 5 minutes without installing or forking anything — deploy one of our curated recipes, which are examples covering the full development lifecycle from local dev through staging to production, with built-in seeding, migrations, backups and scaling.
Your favorite language / framework not covered by our recipes? Deploy the Showcase recipe, or join Zerops Discord and we'll help you out.
Production-ready image processing pipeline showcasing distributed architecture on Zerops — a Bun + React frontend with real-time WebSocket updates and live architecture visualization, a Python worker for async image processing via NATS, backed by PostgreSQL, Valkey, and S3-compatible object storage.
Pricing model that doesn't get in the way of good development practices — no feature tiers, no seat fees and minute-based pricing combined with automatic scaling ensures you only pay for what your apps need, at one of the lowest rates amongst popular PaaS.

with system containers
Up to 50 containers for runtime services. HA / non-HA modes for managed services. See detailed pricing in docs
Need more? We offer dedicated nodes (up to 128 cores, 512 GB RAM) and premium support for enterprise customers. Contact [email protected].
Full Linux OS containers with root access for your applications + managed, highly available services. Built-in flexible CI/CD pipeline. Powerful, yet sensible YAML configs. Nothing abstracted beyond recognition. SSH, cron, apt-get, hostname:port — everything works the way you already know.
Container efficiency.
VM-level access.
Most platforms run your code in application containers — a single process in a locked-down filesystem. You've probably worked around the limitations so many times you stopped noticing them.
That background job running as a separate service because your platform won't allow two processes? That's an app container constraint. The video processing pipeline that shells out to a third-party API because you can't install ffmpeg? App container. The production issue you debugged blind because there's no SSH? App container.
System containers share the host kernel — so you get container-fast startup and density — but run a full Linux userspace. Install system packages. Run multiple processes. SSH in. Set up cron jobs. It's your environment, not a sandbox with guardrails.
Same services. Same networking.
Same pipeline. Different scale.
"But it works on my machine."
Matching production isn't about running the same software. It's about running the same infrastructure. Postgres in Docker Compose isn't managed Postgres with replication and failover. A local Redis instance isn't a cluster with eviction policies. Load balancing, TLS termination, object storage, CORS — missing or faked. Anything complex enough — Elasticsearch, message queues, vector databases — gets skipped or outsourced to a third party that behaves nothing like production.
Zerops doesn't have environment tiers. There are just projects — same managed services, same private networking, same load balancers, same pipeline. A project becomes dev, stage, or production by the resources you give it. Nothing else changes.
Founded in 2024 by 
Aleš and 
Honza with Czech Republic's top developer, devops and networking talent, Zerops is a vshosting.eu spin‑off, building on two decades of managed hosting experience.
The cloud made developers choose. Managed platforms trade visibility for convenience and charge you for the privilege. Self‑hosted PaaS on a cheap VPS nails the economics but you manage everything. And when you outgrow both, the industry answer is big cloud — with the overhead, the complexity, and the bill to make most teams quit before they ever get anywhere near production.
We didn't want to build on top of any of that. Every layer of Zerops was written from scratch — Incus containers, VXLAN networking, our own L3/L7 balancing — running on our own AMD EPYC hardware with NVMe storage and ECC RAM across high‑tier datacenters with n+1 redundancy. No off‑the‑shelf orchestration, no hyperscaler middleman — just our hardware, our software, our prices.
The philosophy follows from the architecture. You deploy in minutes and still know exactly what's running, what it costs, how it's configured. Depth when you need it, out of the way when you don't. Readable, transparent config — no abstractions hiding your infrastructure, no zero‑config magic that works until it doesn't.
And of course — GDPR and DPA compliant, SOC 2 and ISO 27001 in progress (done in April), with datacenters in the EU and US and Asia on the way.

What are we up to
Might as well call it Zerops 3.0 — huge updates and what's next
A year of shipping in the shadows. Multi-region with US-East live and more on the way, passkeys and 2FA, a full role system with integration tokens, per-route configuration, backup management, and a complete observability stack — plus a first look at ZCP, our infrastructure layer for AI coding agents. Here's everything that's changed since April 2025.
AlešThe perfect cloud platform for development and production of RAG / AI apps
Zerops is a cloud platform built on four core principles - developer experience, flexibility, scalability and of course, affordability. These principles along with the platform design of Zerops make for the ideal platform for the whole lifecycle of developing and operating production of RAG / AI apps.
