What is Sliplane?
Sliplane is a European cloud platform designed to simplify app hosting and infrastructure management for developers. It allows you to deploy any application directly from a GitHub repository or Docker image, with automatic framework detection, zero-downtime deployments, and built-in monitoring. The platform offers three core products: App Runtime for running containers, Managed PostgreSQL for production-ready databases, and Object Storage (S3-compatible) for files and backups.
With Sliplane, you pay a flat monthly fee per server, and you can run as many services as the server can handle without additional charges. The platform is GDPR compliant by default, headquartered in Berlin, Germany, and operates under European law. It includes features like free SSL, free egress, unlimited collaborators, and a powerful REST API for programmatic management. Sliplane is ideal for startups, freelancers, indie hackers, and established companies that want to ship fast without hiring a DevOps team.
