When to use lowcloud Platform
Last updated: August 27, 2026
Use lowcloud Platform when you'd rather work on your product than on infrastructure.
Fullstack applications
Run a backend, a frontend, and a database in the same project. Services reach each other by their service name on the internal network. There are no ports to open, no networking to configure, and no service discovery to set up.
Predictable costs
You pay per running container, by the hour, at the size tier you pick. Load balancing, TLS certificates, build minutes, and customer egress are included. To get started, one XS container runs free for 7 days, so you can try a small project at no cost.
Ship fast
Sign up, connect a Git repo or paste a Docker image, deploy. No cloud account, no API tokens, no infrastructure work. You go from sign-up to a live URL with valid TLS in a few minutes.
European data sovereignty
Projects run on European infrastructure under GDPR. Your code, your customer data, and your databases stay in Germany.
Common use cases
- SaaS products: one project per environment (production, staging), each with a web service and a database.
- Side projects and prototypes: a real domain with TLS, without paying for idle infrastructure.
- Internal tools: dashboards, admin UIs, and internal APIs that are only reachable inside the project.
- Agency client work: ship the customer's app quickly and hand over a clean project at the end.
