How the workspace spend limit works
Set a maximum monthly spend limit in Billing. The usage ledger can trail live activity, so the displayed total may cross the limit before reconciliation. Compute pauses when recorded usage reaches the limit; persistent storage continues accruing until deletion.
Card required. Pay $5 today for Developer, and eligible accounts receive a one-time $5 launch credit after successful payment. Monthly plan payments remain non-rollover usage credit.

Frequently asked questions
What can I deploy?
Deploy from a GitHub repository with Railpack, or choose a public Linux amd64 Docker or OCI image from Docker Hub, GitHub Container Registry, Quay, or GitLab Container Registry. Image-source apps listen on PORT=3000 at 0.0.0.0.
How do the monthly plans work?
Developer is $5/month and Pro is $20/month. 100% of your plan payment becomes non-rollover usage credit for that month, applied to measured compute, storage, and database usage.
What does the launch credit include?
Developer charges $5 when checkout succeeds. Eligible new Developer accounts then receive a one-time $5 launch credit in addition to that month's plan credit. Monthly and launch credits do not roll over.
What usage is metered?
App Cloud meters CPU at $20/vCPU-month, memory at $10/GB-month, persistent storage at $0.15/GB-month, and outbound transfer at $0.03/GB. App usage uses recorded runtime measurements; PostgreSQL compute uses its enforced allocation. Usage is prorated.
Is PostgreSQL database hosting available yet?
Database Hosting is currently limited to approved DB Alpha beta and internal workloads. Public self-service provisioning, connection reveal, and the portal Workbench remain gated while the launch proof is completed. The approved path supports protected connections, encrypted logical backups, restore copies, and bounded read-only Workbench queries; it is not a public plan entitlement yet.
Which regions can I choose?
AWS App Hosting launches in US East. Existing regional workloads remain visible in their current Host Little regions during migration.
How does the workspace spend limit work?
Set a monthly workspace spend limit in Billing. The recorded ledger can trail live activity, so usage may cross the displayed limit before reconciliation. At the limit, the app stops and PostgreSQL access is removed while Aurora becomes eligible to auto-pause after its idle window. Observed compute and persistent storage can continue accruing.
What can I manage from a project?
Project pages expose deployments, redacted runtime logs, CPU and memory metrics, custom HTTPS domains, environment variables, and source controls. Database controls are available only for approved beta/internal workspaces while public self-service remains gated.
What can I take with me?
Your GitHub source or public container image and domain remain under your control. Approved database beta workspaces can use the owner-only TLS connection and pg_dump before deletion. Public database provisioning and export access are not enabled for general self-service yet.
