Security

Security baked in

Every layer of Futrou is built with security and zero trust in mind, from the network up to each workload. No mystery endpoints on private IPs that open a way in.

  1. Zero trust by default

    Every server proves itself with its own key before it joins a network.

  2. No mystery endpoints

    Services live on private IPs. The only way in is a proxy you can see.

  3. Encrypted tunnels

    Servers link over encrypted tunnels, no open ports are needed.

  1. Isolated microVMs

    Every serverlet gets its own microVM and never shares a kernel.

  2. Signed releases

    All Futrou software is signed and verified on install.

  3. WAF and anti-DDoS

    On Futrou Cloud, public traffic passes a WAF and DDoS protection first.

Pricing

Always predictable pricing, no hidden costs

Futrou shows the price before every step, and scales only up to the limit you are willing to accept. No more serverless billing horror stories. See pricing

  1. 01Pick a plan

    The price per hour is on every plan before you choose.

  2. 02Set scaling cap

    Choose how far autoscaling may go, and see the maximum price right away.

  3. 03Traffic grows

    Futrou keeps scaling your services only up to the configured limit.

  4. 04No hidden costs

    No surcharges and no overage. The invoice matches what you approved.

Self-hosting

Bring your own servers, keep the cloud benefits

Connect your servers to Futrou Cloud and run your apps entirely on your infra with zero additional cost. Same platform, same API, your hardware.

FAQ 16

Everything you might want to know about Futrou

The things people ask us before they sign up.

What is Futrou?

Futrou is PaaS cloud platform that simplifies deploying applications. Unlike traditional shared hosting, Futrou lets you deploy any containerized application without need to build your own Docker images — PHP, Node.js, Go, Ruby, and more — with a serverless-like experience and no infrastructure hassle, flexible and always predictable billing per hour.

Can I self-host Futrou?

Yes — Futrou is one of the few PaaS platforms you can freely self-host. There are three ways to run it:

  • Public Cloud — Futrou Cloud on cloud.futrou.com manages the servers and infrastructure for you, so you can just focus on development and shipping. Every project deploys into its own isolated microVM for strong multi-tenant security, with a built-in WAF and anti-DDoS protection. Just sign up and immediately deploy.
  • Hybrid Cloud — Futrou Cloud on cloud.futrou.com allows you to bring your own servers into your workspace, combining them with Futrou's public infrastructure however you like. Deploys still go through Futrou Cloud exactly as before, with no visible difference — and if one of your servers goes down, Futrou can fail traffic over to its public infrastructure and back again once it recovers. Get the best of both worlds.
  • Private Cloud — Futrou can be run in standalone mode on your own domain, fully disconnected from Futrou Cloud. Every deployment and every request goes straight to your own hardware — the Futrou CLI and REST API work exactly the same.
Is Futrou just another AWS wrapper?

No. Futrou's public regions run on Futrou's own servers, not resold AWS, GCP, or Azure capacity — and the same Futrou Nasua orchestrator runs the platform whether it's on Futrou's hardware or yours. That's what makes hybrid and fully self-hosted deployments possible: there's no cloud provider underneath to wrap.

What does Futrou offer?

Everything you need to run a full-stack application — backend, frontend, and everything in between — as separate services you can mix and match per project:

  • Serverlet — compute for your container image, autoscaling with load and able to scale to zero when idle.
  • Proxy — routes traffic to a serverlet or other backend over HTTP, TCP, or UDP.
  • DNS — manage DNS zones and records for your domains.
  • Volume — persistent storage volumes attached to a serverlet that survive restarts.
  • Cron — a scheduled job that runs on a timer.
What frameworks and languages can Futrou run?

Node.js, Bun, Deno, PHP, Python, Ruby, Go, .NET, Lua, and Perl, along with the frameworks built on them — Next.js, Laravel, Django, Rails, and the rest. If it runs in a container, it can run on Futrou.

How do I deploy to Futrou?

Every serverlet runs a Docker image — your own, published to any registry, or a Futrou base image you build on top of. There's no buildpack step and no source upload: deploy with the Futrou CLI, the REST API, or straight from the dashboard, locally or from CI.

Can I use my own domain?

Yes. Every serverlet gets a free *.futrou.cloud subdomain the moment it's created, with TLS included and nothing to configure. Bring your own domain whenever you're ready — Futrou requests and renews the certificate for you.

Where does Futrou run — can I pick a region?

Futrou Cloud gives you access to Futrou's own public regions out of the box, or you can leave placement on Auto and let Futrou pick one for you. You can also connect your own servers as a private region and manage them through the same dashboard, billing, and team access as everything else.

How does billing work?

Futrou Cloud uses flexible hourly billing for most of the services. You pay only for the public cloud infrastructure resources you actually use, metered hourly and deducted from your credit balance, with auto top-up options based on your usage. When credit auto top-up fails, services are stopped and after a graceful period permanently deleted. Futrou doesn't apply any additional charges and doesn't support overage payments.

All services deployed and running on custom private servers in hybrid cloud mode are completely free of charge. Self-hosted Futrou instances in private cloud standalone mode don't have or apply any billing logic. Futrou software for self-hosted instances is available for free for both personal and commercial usage. See Futrou Licenses.

Does Futrou use Kubernetes or Nomad?

No. Futrou runs on its own lightweight cloud orchestrator, Futrou Nasua, built specifically for platform needs. Futrou Nasua is inspired by Nomad and free to use for both personal and commercial purposes.

Does Futrou offer an MCP server?

Yes. Futrou provides a remote MCP server at mcp.futrou.com, so any compatible AI client can manage your workspace, projects, and services using natural language.

Does Futrou offer a CLI?

Yes. The Futrou CLI manages Futrou Cloud or a standalone Futrou Nasua server with the same commands, locally or from CI. Beyond individual commands, it can manage your whole workspace as code: your project's whole state lives in a futrou.json config file — serverlets, proxies, DNS, volumes, and the rest — that you version alongside your app code and apply with futrou deploy, a bit like terraform apply for your Futrou infrastructure. Install it with a script, npm, or run it directly with npx.

Does Futrou offer a REST API?

Yes. The Futrou REST API is available at api.futrou.com/v2 over HTTPS and JSON, authenticated with a bearer token — everything the CLI and dashboard do goes through the same API.

Does Futrou support Terraform or Pulumi?

Not yet as an official provider. In the meantime, the CLI and REST API make Futrou fully scriptable, and the CLI can store and version your project's infrastructure as code alongside your source.

Is there a free tier?

Yes — Futrou Cloud is offered as a PaaS with a free tier for everyone, no credit card required. Hourly billing only starts once your service does, and you can self-host Futrou Nasua for free on your own hardware at any time.

What support do you offer?

Standard technical support over tickets and live chat is included with Futrou Cloud services. Self-hosted Futrou Nasua is free software backed by community support, with dedicated support available as a paid add-on.
