Serverless is fast until
the bill arrives.
Netlify made static sites effortless. But when your app needs a database, background workers, or WebSockets, the "serverless-only" model forces you to stitch together five different services. Boottify runs everything in one Kubernetes cluster — flat bill, no cold starts, your brand.
Great for landing pages.
Painful for platforms.
Cold starts on every deploy
Netlify Functions sleep after inactivity. Your users wait 2-5 seconds on the first request after a deploy or idle period. Boottify keeps your pods warm — zero cold starts, period.
No Docker, no containers
Need a custom binary, a specific Node version, or a background worker? Netlify says no. Boottify runs any Docker image — your stack, your rules, no compromises.
Per-invocation billing spiral
A cron job that runs every 5 minutes? That's 8,640 invocations/month. A webhook spike during a launch? Dollars. Boottify bills per node — flat, predictable, forever.
Serverless vs. real servers.
| Capability | Boottify | Netlify |
|---|---|---|
| White-label dashboard | Built-in | Not offered |
| Long-running backends (WebSockets, workers) | First-class | Serverless-only; use external services |
| Flat per-node pricing | Yes | Per-function invocation + bandwidth overage |
| Docker-based marketplace templates | 500+ | Static site + serverless functions only |
| Bring your own K8s cluster | Yes | No |
| Isolated namespace + network policy per tenant | Yes | Shared edge infrastructure |
| Managed Postgres / Redis | Via marketplace templates | Via add-ons (at higher tiers) |
Your site. Your Dockerfile. Done.

Any framework Netlify supports, Boottify supports — Next.js, Astro, SvelteKit, Nuxt, Remix, and anything with a Dockerfile. No function rewrites. No cold starts.
Four steps. One afternoon.
- 01
Point your repo at Boottify
Connect via GitHub. Boottify auto-detects your framework — Next.js, Astro, SvelteKit, you name it.
- 02
Add a Dockerfile (or use ours)
If your project has one, great. If not, we'll generate one that matches your stack. Takes 30 seconds.
- 03
Map your domains
DNS flip goes green in minutes. Wildcard TLS comes free. Run old + new in parallel until cutover.
- 04
Move DNS traffic over
Gradual (weighted) or all-at-once. Your users won't notice the switch — no cold starts, no dropped requests.
What you keep
- Your entire codebase, unchanged
- Preview URLs per branch / PR
- Zero-config TLS + wildcard certs
- Environment variables + secrets UI
- Build logs streamed live
- Git-push deploys
- Rollbacks one click away
- Your brand, your dashboard, your users
What you gain
Long-running backends
WebSockets, background workers, cron jobs — all in the same cluster. No external services needed.
Zero cold starts
Your pods stay warm. Every request is instant, every time. No 2-5 second wake-up penalty.
Flat, predictable pricing
Per node, not per invocation. No surprises when traffic spikes or a cron misfires.
Docker-native
Any Docker image, any stack. Node, Python, Go, Rust — if it containerizes, it runs.
Stop paying per click.
