Paste your repository. Automatic framework detection, zero-config builds, and global deployment across 6,000+ Flux nodes.
GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket supported
Zero-config builds • Dedicated resources • No vendor lock-in
How it works
Deploying is a single Git push. Connect a GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket repository and Orbit inspects the project, detecting the framework, install step, build command and start command for you with Nixpacks, with no Dockerfile or YAML required. It packages your app into a container, builds it, and distributes it across the Flux nodes you pick, or spreads it worldwide automatically. From then on every push to your chosen branch triggers a fresh build and redeploy through a webhook, with build logs streaming in real time. If a build fails, the last known-good version stays live and Orbit rolls back on its own, so a bad commit can never take your site down.
That detection step is why Orbit is not limited to static sites or to one ecosystem. Node.js, Python, Go, Rust, Java, .NET, PHP, Ruby, Erlang, Elixir and Dart all work out of the box, and front-end frameworks like Next.js, Remix, Nuxt, SvelteKit, Astro and Vite build and deploy in the same zero-config flow. Because your app runs as a full long-running container rather than a serverless function, the backends other platforms handle poorly run natively. That includes Django, Flask, FastAPI, Rails, Express, Go, Rust, Erlang, Elixir and Dart services, background workers, and persistent processes. If it builds into a container, Orbit can deploy it.
Every push to your default branch rebuilds and redeploys automatically, so shipping is just git push. Environment variables and secrets are set per app and injected at runtime rather than baked into the image, which means the same build can be promoted without rebuilding it. And because there is no vendor runtime to code against, moving an app off Orbit is as straightforward as moving it on. It remains an ordinary container throughout.

Zero Docker headaches. Orbit handles the full build, deploy, and operations pipeline so you can focus on code.
Core capabilities include framework auto-detection, container builds, automatic redeploys on push, streaming build logs, rollback to the last healthy release, environment variables, secrets, and agent access through MCP. Every plan also includes custom domains with managed TLS.
No limit on build count or build duration. Ship as often as you need.
No shared hardware. Your rented CPU, RAM and storage are exclusively yours, not a metered slice of someone else’s server. Performance stays predictable, and there is no vendor lock-in.
Node.js, Python, Rust, Go, Java, .NET, PHP, Erlang, Elixir, Dart and more, auto-detected every time.
Auto-detects project type, installs dependencies, and builds automatically.
GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket webhooks plus polling mode. Your workflow, your choice.
Connect your own domain with automatic SSL via Flux's reverse proxy network.
Deploy to specific regions worldwide or let Orbit distribute automatically.
Automatic preview deployments for branches and pull requests.
Failed deployments automatically revert to the last known-good version.
Deploy specific folders from a monorepo using the PROJECT_PATH variable.
Built-in health checks and process supervision keep your app always available.
Non-root execution, automatic log rotation, and encrypted app specs.
Connect an MCP-compatible agent to inspect, deploy, monitor, and manage the Orbit apps you own.
Why Orbit
Dedicated resources, unlimited builds, a fraction of the price.
Centralized platforms like Vercel and Netlify are polished, but they run your app on shared, metered infrastructure inside one company’s cloud, with paid tiers starting around $19–$20 a month and real limits on backends and long-running servers. Orbit gives you dedicated CPU and RAM on the decentralized Flux network from $0.99 a month, native support for full-stack backends, a free first week for new users, and no non-commercial restriction on any plan. The table below is the short version; the Orbit vs. Vercel comparison and the Vercel, Netlify & Cloudflare Pages breakdown go through it line by line.
| Provider | Plan | Price | CPU | RAM | Builds |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| OrbitBest Value | Standard | $2.49/mo | 1.5 Cores | 4 GB | Unlimited |
| Vercel | Pro | $20/mo | Shared | Shared | Limited |
| Netlify | Pro | $19/mo | Shared | Shared | Credit-based |
| Render | Standard | $25/mo | 1 Core | 2 GB | 500 min/mo |
| Railway | Hobby | $5/mo | Usage-based | Usage-based | Usage-based |

Your apps run on a decentralized network of 6,565 Flux nodes across 55 countries. Choose the region closest to your users.
Most modern hosting concentrates your app inside one company’s data centers, leaving you with one provider’s pricing, one provider’s policies, and one single point of failure. Orbit takes a different path. Your app runs on the Flux network: thousands of independently operated nodes across dozens of countries, run by thousands of separate operators. Because no single party owns the infrastructure, there is no gatekeeper who can deplatform you, no vendor able to lock in your data, and no lone data center whose outage takes you offline.
Your container also runs on real, dedicated hardware rather than a metered slice of a shared server, and it runs on several nodes at once, so the network absorbs the failures that would mean downtime on a single-server setup. For dApp front-ends, indie projects and teams that want genuine redundancy and censorship resistance, decentralized hosting delivers the reliability of a top-tier cloud without handing control to one corporation.
Choose your plan based on your resource needs.
Every plan includes unlimited builds, automatic deploys on every push, rollbacks, and the full Orbit feature set, with dedicated CPU, RAM and storage. There is no contract and no egress billing: you pay for the resources your app reserves, and you can change or cancel a plan at any time.
For side projects and learning, on a single instance
For growing projects and small apps
For active development and production apps
*The first week is free for customers new to Flux Cloud: one free week per account, not per app or per server. It takes no card and ends on its own after 7 days unless you choose to keep the server. If you've deployed any app on Flux before, standard pricing applies. Our 30-day money-back guarantee covers your first paid month, whether or not you took the free week first.
Starter runs on a single instance, so brief downtime may occur if its node restarts; Standard and Pro run on two. Private repositories, database add-ons and secret variables are deployed encrypted, running only on ArcaneOS nodes, and the network's encryption fee is included in the price shown at checkout.
