Ship backends,
not infrastructure.
Aloof runs your Docker image or git repo with HTTPS at <app>.aloof.si, autoscaling down to zero, volumes and custom domains. One command, or let your AI assistant deploy over MCP.
Everything a backend needs. Nothing you have to babysit.
The essentials of Fly.io, Render and Railway, priced at or below their list prices, with an honest picture of where your code runs.
Git or image deploys
Push a repo with a Dockerfile or point at any image. Rolling redeploys only cut over after the new instance passes its health check.
Autoscaling to zero
Scale on in-flight requests or CPU. Idle apps sleep and wake on the next request in about a second, so you pay only while serving.
Persistent volumes
Attach volumes that survive restarts and redeploys, billed per provisioned GB-month.
Custom domains + TLS
Verify with one TXT record and point a CNAME. Certificates are issued and renewed automatically.
CLI, REST and dashboard
A single-file CLI, an OpenAPI-documented REST API and a dashboard with logs, env, scaling and billing.
GPUs: coming soon
L4, RTX 4090, L40, A100 80GB and H100, billed per second with scale to zero. Join the waitlist →
Your assistant can deploy for you.
Aloof ships a Model Context Protocol server with OAuth 2.1 (dynamic client registration and PKCE). Connect Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor and ask it to deploy, read logs, scale or add a domain.
- Remote MCP at
https://mcp.aloof.si/mcp - Scoped tokens you can revoke from the dashboard
- llms.txt and an OpenAPI spec for agents that prefer REST
# ask your assistant: "Deploy github.com/acme/api on Aloof, 1 GB plan, scale to zero after 5 minutes, and give me the URL." # it calls: list_plans → deploy_app → set_autoscale → get_status → https://api.aloof.si/ (running)
Secure defaults, stated plainly.
We list only what the platform actually does today. No badges we haven't earned.
TLS everywhere
Every app, API and MCP endpoint is served over HTTPS with automatically issued certificates. Certificates are only requested for hosts we know.
Encrypted secrets
Environment variables are encrypted at rest and never shown back. API keys are stored only as SHA-256 hashes.
Isolated containers
Each app runs in its own container with CPU and memory limits. Nodes join over WireGuard and expose no inbound ports.
EU hosting
Phase 1 compute and the control plane run on Hetzner Cloud in Germany and Finland.
Session hardening
HttpOnly, SameSite cookies with a CSRF header requirement, single-use magic links, and OAuth 2.1 with PKCE for agents.
Payments by Stripe
Card data never touches our servers. Checkout, invoices and tax are handled by Stripe.
