Pick a VM size and your level of management
Choose a VM size, then choose how hands-on you want to be — a single server, reserved replicas, or auto-managed scaling. Every option ships the full platform and bills the same way: by VM-time, cost-plus. Your management level is your call; it doesn't change how you're billed.
Deploy in San Francisco · New York — same price in every region, your choice of location.
To launch: sign up (a one-time $1 verification), connect a Git repository(required — that's the app we build and run), and pick a size + region + management level. Your app builds and goes live at <name>.apps.datavec.comwith automatic HTTPS, and you're billed monthly for the VM-time it uses.
Standard machines carry no uptime guarantee today. If you need one, contact us about Enterprise.
Spec your machine
Set the vCPU and memory you need; we match the DigitalOcean VM that meets it and price it cost-plus. No named tiers — you pay for the machine.

$17
/month
A dedicated 1-vCPU VM with 1 GB RAM and 25GB SSD — your app stays resident. That's one VM for a full month; you're billed for the VM-time you actually run, cost-plus, and your management level doesn't change it.
- Dedicated VM — your app resident in memory, no cold starts
- Custom domain registration + automatic HTTPS
- Full WebSocket & HTTP/2 protocol support
- Postgres wire connections in isolated sandboxes
- R2-compatible S3 object store worker
- Billed by VM-time, cost-plus — no per-request or bandwidth metering

Dedicated hardware isolation, sizing beyond the standard machines, dedicated-CPU or memory-optimized families, single-tenant routing, and a premium SLA.
Synthetic metering vs. VM-time, cost-plus
Configure your monthly footprint. We estimate the metered bill on your current serverless platform, then size the DataVec VM that serves the same peak load at our published per-core throughput — priced as VM-time, cost-plus, with no per-request or bandwidth metering. Add reserved replicas for redundancy if you want; they're billed the same way, by VM-time.
Peak load ~3,472 req/s
Provisioned ~8,000 req/s

Illustrative estimate using vendors' published list prices as of June 2026 (AWS includes API Gateway; Cloudflare has zero egress). The DataVec figure is the real catalog price of the VM capacity needed to serve your peak throughput — assuming a 12× peak-to-average burst — at our published single-core rates, with headroom, billed as VM-time (cost-plus). VM plans include generous egress — we don't meter bandwidth. Reserved replicas for redundancy are optional and billed the same way. At very high volume, metered platforms are often negotiated down with committed-use discounts, so compare against your actual invoice.
Every VM bills the same way — VM-time, cost-plus — from a Business VM at $80/mo down to a $17/mo Starter VM. No per-request or bandwidth metering, and your management level doesn't change the unit.
