🚀 Meet CloudBlast Workers
We’re known for our hourly‑priced AMD EPYC VPS, and now we’re adding a fully managed app platform called Workers. Deploy a Git repo, a Docker image, or choose from a catalog of templates, select a data centre, and you’ll instantly receive a public URL with SSL – no Dockerfile, CI pipeline, or server maintenance required.
Start deploying: https://console.cloudblast.io/

🧩 What a Worker Is
A Worker runs your application, service or database inside an isolated container. Provide a repository, an image, or a template, pick a region and resource limits, and the platform takes care of the rest.
- Any language, any framework – Node, Python, Go, Rust, PHP, Ruby, etc., or bring your own Dockerfile.
- Zero‑config builds – The system detects the build steps, installs dependencies and launches the process automatically.
- Instant roll‑back – Every deployment is stored, allowing you to revert to a previous version in seconds.
- Persistent storage – Attach a disk that survives redeploys, restarts and scaling; supports Postgres, MySQL, Redis, MongoDB and more.
- Logs, metrics and SSL included
🔁 How It Works
- Connect a Git repo, Docker image or one of the 100+ templates.
- Build runs automatically on each push, with the ability to roll back instantly.
- Run the service behind a public URL, with SSL, logging, metrics and optional persistent disk.
💶 Pricing – Pay‑by‑Minute Only
There are no plans, seat fees or minimum commitments. Usage is metered per minute and billed at the hourly rates below. When a worker stops, CPU and RAM meters stop as well; only the disk continues to accrue charges.
| Meter | Price | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | €0.011 | per core hour |
| RAM | €0.004 | per GB hour |
| Disk | €0.0001 | per GB hour |
| Traffic | €0.01 | per GB out |
Charges are calculated each minute, applied at the hourly rates, and invoiced monthly. A continuously running 1 vCPU + 2 GB RAM instance costs roughly €14 per month.
📊 Cost Comparison – Same Load, Lower Bill
Running a 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM workload for 100 hours a month illustrates the savings:
| CloudBlast | Fly.io | Railway | Vercel | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| vCPU, per hour | €0.0110 | n/a | €0.0252 | €0.1178 |
| RAM, per GB hour | €0.0040 | €0.0063 | €0.0126 | €0.0098 |
| Outgoing traffic, per GB | €0.01 | €0.02 | €0.05 | €0.14 |
| Minimum monthly fee | none | none | €4.60 | €18.40 |
| 1 vCPU + 2 GB, 100 hrs/month | €1.90 | €4.06 | €5.04 | €18.40 |
| 2.1× | 2.7× | 9.7× |
List prices are taken from each provider’s September 2026 pricing page and converted at $1 = €0.92. The monthly figure reflects actual usage after any included credits.

🔄 Switching from Railway, Render, Fly.io or Vercel
In most cases you can keep the same codebase. Just point the new platform at your repo or image, set the same environment variables, add a disk if needed, and update your DNS. Our 24/7 support team is ready to help with any migration hiccups.
💳 Accepted Payments
We accept cryptocurrencies (including XMR), credit cards, Alipay, WeChat Pay and more than 20 local payment options.
New accounts require a €10 deposit to start deploying; after that, any amount can be used for the usage‑based billing.
❓ Quick FAQ
Are there plans, seat fees or a minimum spend?
No. You only pay for the resources your workers actually consume.
Can I host a database?
Yes – attach a persistent disk and the data survives restarts and scaling.
How granular is the billing?
Usage is measured per minute and charged at the hourly rates. A 20‑minute run costs a third of an hour, not a full hour. Invoices are sent monthly.
What happens when I stop a worker?
CPU and RAM metering stop; the disk continues to be billed while the data is retained.
Do I need a Dockerfile?
Not required, but you can provide one if you prefer.
