Seenode

Seenode is a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) designed to streamline the deployment of applications directly from GitHub or GitLab repositories. It enables users to connect their repositories, select branches and commits, and have their applications live with SSL and a public URL in minutes, all without requiring account registration or a credit card upfront. The service offers a 7-day free trial, after which users can claim their account if desired.

js, Go, and Elixir. Users do not need to provide configuration files or have Docker knowledge. Seenode provides zero cold starts, ensuring applications are always running with no spin-up or warm-up times. Features include support for long-lived connections such as WebSockets and SSE, centralized logging with 14 days of retention, private networking for secure internal service communication, and zero-downtime deployments. The platform also allows for horizontal and vertical scaling, letting users adjust the number of instances or resource allocation as needed. Team collaboration is supported with unlimited team members and no per-seat pricing, and projects can be organized by environment or customer within a unified dashboard.

Seenode offers managed PostgreSQL and MySQL databases that can be created and connected with a single click, facilitating quick integration with deployed applications. The platform supports both web services—handling HTTP, HTTPS, and WebSocket traffic with built-in load balancing—and worker services for background jobs, queues, and cron tasks. Static site hosting is noted as a forthcoming feature.

Support is provided through live chat, email, and Discord, with assistance from developers involved in building the platform. The service emphasizes a hands-on approach to troubleshooting, with rapid first response times and a high rate of issue resolution in a single conversation.
