FAQ
Everything you need to know about PulseUp and VPS-based deployments.
VPS deployments offer predictable costs, better performance without cold starts, and complete control over your infrastructure. Unlike serverless platforms where costs scale unpredictably with usage, PulseUp gives you fixed monthly pricing regardless of traffic spikes. You also get full access to your server resources without the limitations serverless imposes on execution time, memory, and background processes.
Yes! PulseUp offers the same simple developer experience as serverless platforms but with the benefits of VPS infrastructure. You can deploy with a single command or git push, and PulseUp handles all the infrastructure setup automatically. The difference is you get a dedicated VPS with more control and predictable costs instead of serverless functions.
PulseUp supports all major web frameworks and languages including React, Vue, Angular, Next.js, Nuxt, Node.js, Python, Ruby, Go, PHP, and more. Since you're deploying to a full VPS, you're not limited to what a serverless platform supports - if it can run on Linux, it can run on PulseUp.
PulseUp offers several scaling options. For most applications, a single optimized VPS can handle significant traffic. For applications needing more resources, you can easily scale vertically (upgrade to a more powerful VPS) or horizontally (add more VPS instances with load balancing). Unlike serverless where you pay per request, you control exactly when to scale up.
Absolutely! Unlike serverless platforms which limit execution time and make background jobs difficult, PulseUp's VPS architecture allows you to run any type of process for any duration. Run cron jobs, background workers, websockets, or any other persistent processes without workarounds or limitations.
With PulseUp, traffic spikes don't mean surprise bills. Your VPS will handle the increased load up to its capacity, and you won't pay extra for the additional requests. If you regularly experience high traffic and need more capacity, you can choose to upgrade your plan - but it's always a predictable cost that you control, not an unexpected bill at the end of the month.
Every plan includes a 7-day free trial with no credit card required. You get full access to all the features of your chosen plan during the trial period. If you decide to add extra servers beyond what's included in your plan, you'll need to provide payment information, as this will remove the trial period and convert to an immediate paid subscription. If you don't add extra servers, you can enjoy the full 7 days to test our platform before making a commitment.
