HostEngine
Start free trial
For developers

Infrastructure that doesn't make you feel sad on Monday.

A real CLI, push-to-deploy, free egress. Spend your week shipping features instead of fighting your provider.

Start free with $200 credit Read the CLI docs
Built for builders

Three things you'll notice in the first 10 minutes.

No quotas to file. No regional bait-and-switch on price. No artisanal SDK that contradicts the docs.

A real CLI

`hostengine` is a single static binary. Tab-complete every resource, pipe JSON into anything, scriptable from CI.

Push to deploy

App Platform builds from your Git repo, gives every PR a preview URL, and rolls forward in <90 seconds.

Free egress

Generous free bandwidth, no cross-AZ surcharge, $0.01/GB after — across all 14 regions.

Workflow

From `git push` to a public URL in 90 seconds.

Connect a repo, pick a region, and HostEngine builds, signs and routes traffic — with per-PR preview environments and rollbacks one keystroke away.

  • BuildKit + remote layer cache, average build 47s.
  • Preview URL on every PR, torn down on merge.
  • Roll forward or roll back in <5s with a single command.

"HostEngine's CLI is the cleanest in the industry. We deleted 1,400 lines of CDK and replaced them with 90 lines of Terraform — and the system is faster."

Frequently asked questions

Talk to us
  • Do you support Terraform?

    Yes — every resource exposed via the CLI is also a Terraform resource on the public registry, with semantic-versioned releases.

  • Can I use my own SSH keys?

    Of course. Add as many keys as you like, scope them per-region or per-project, and revoke instantly without rebuilding instances.

  • Is GitHub Actions integrated?

    Our official action publishes containers, deploys to App Platform, and runs preview teardowns — all without long-lived secrets thanks to OIDC.

  • What languages does App Platform auto-detect?

    Node, Bun, Deno, Python, Go, Rust, Ruby, PHP, Java, Elixir and .NET. Or bring a Dockerfile and we'll cache layers.
