A strong alternative to Vercel & Netlify

The same git push-to-deploy convenience, plus dedicated resources, full backend and database support, and transparent pricing with no surprise usage bill.

Why are you looking for an alternative?

Vercel and Netlify are great for static sites and serverless functions. Things get harder the moment you need a real backend, a long-running process or a managed database: resources are shared and metered, and bills can surprise you as usage grows. GitLiman runs everything that runs in Docker — frontend, backend, workers, databases — on resources dedicated to you, on one predictable bill.

What sets it apart

What does GitLiman give you?

Full backend + database

Not just static sites and functions: APIs, workers, cron, WebSockets and managed PostgreSQL / MySQL / Redis / MongoDB — all on one platform.

Dedicated resources

No shared, metered limits. The CPU / RAM / disk in your plan is entirely yours and does not slow down when the neighbours get busy.

Transparent pricing

Prices are computed live from infrastructure cost. One bill, VAT included, and you pay by card in USD or Turkish lira.

Redundant by design

Your copies run at the same time on servers in different regions, so the app stays up even if a region goes down.

No vendor lock-in

Everything runs as a standard Docker container. You can move it elsewhere as-is tomorrow — no trap.

The same familiar flow

Connect your repo and push. Your framework is detected automatically; you do not even need a Dockerfile, or new habits.

Which one should you pick?

GitLiman is ideal if…

  • • you have a backend, an API or long-running services
  • • you want a managed database
  • • you want dedicated, predictable resources and a fixed bill
  • • you want to avoid vendor lock-in

Vercel/Netlify may be enough if…

  • • you only run a static site / JAMstack
  • • very light serverless functions are all you need
  • • your backend and database live entirely with third parties
  • • a bill that moves with usage is fine for you
FAQ

Common questions

Is GitLiman really a Vercel/Netlify alternative?

Yes. It offers the same git push-to-deploy flow and adds a full backend, long-running servers and managed databases on top — scenarios that are hard or impossible on Vercel/Netlify are the normal case here.

Can I deploy Next.js, React or my static site?

Of course. Next.js, React, Vue, static sites and more are detected, built and published automatically — exactly as you are used to.

Does it run backends and databases too?

Yes — that is GitLiman’s strongest side. Django, Laravel, Go and Node APIs; worker and cron processes; managed PostgreSQL / MySQL / Redis all run on one platform.

Do I need to move or change my code?

No. Your app runs as a standard Docker container. Connecting your repo is enough; no code changes are required and you can move away whenever you want.

Why is it cheaper?

We give you dedicated resources instead of shared, metered ones, and compute the price from real infrastructure cost. Your bill is fixed — more traffic never means a surprise invoice.
