Leapcell
A serverless platform that runs apps and APIs from a git repository, with an option to switch a service to a fixed-price persistent server.
A serverless run that can turn into a server.
Leapcell connects to a GitHub repository and deploys each push as a serverless service, running Node.js, Python, Go or Rust behind a generated leapcell.dev subdomain until a custom domain is attached. A managed PostgreSQL database and a Redis-compatible store are available alongside the app. Every service can also be switched to a persistent server with a fixed monthly price instead of metered invocations, and back again, which the documentation frames as a way to move off usage billing once traffic is steady.
The company describes itself as based in California, and its pricing page bills a free Hobby tier and two paid, per-seat tiers by a monthly subscription plus metered invocations, compute time and data transfer.
Worth knowing
Pricing is charged in two parts: the subscription fee at the start of the month, and usage — invocations, GB-hours and data transfer — at the end of it, so the plan price alone understates what a busier service costs.
