What makes Envirobly distinct is its philosophy: it doesn’t try to reinvent the cloud; instead, it builds on top of the proven AWS primitives, allowing you to connect your own AWS account while still benefiting from automation, monitoring, scaling, and security. This hybrid model ensures you retain full ownership of your infrastructure and data, while Envirobly handles the day-to-day management — from SSL certificates to updates and backups.
The experience is designed to be frictionless. You can deploy your app in under 30 seconds using a single command, integrate directly with Git, and manage everything through an elegant CLI. The platform’s soft deletion, daily backups, and fault-tolerant architecture mean even if Envirobly goes down, your app stays up — a rare and reassuring promise in modern hosting.
Affordability is a central theme. By leveraging instance savings and shared IPv4 allocation, Envirobly delivers some of the lowest operational costs available for managed hosting, without compromising security or performance. Advanced observability features, like real-time metrics and detailed logs with fine-grained time filters, make it suitable for both indie developers and teams running production workloads.
Envirobly is built by Robert Starsi, and it shows the kind of craftsmanship and practical thinking that comes from someone who’s actually managed production systems — not just built dashboards for them. It’s a platform that quietly redefines “managed hosting” by putting power back where it belongs: in the hands of the developer.
Envirobly feels like what Heroku or Render could have been if they had stayed focused on developers first — minimal friction, maximum efficiency, and real ownership.
