## Home Page (/)

### Hero

**Headline:** Ship it.
**Subheadline:** The new way to ship software. Autonomously.
**CTAs:** "Start shipping" | `npx @nexlayer/mcp-install`

### Features

**AI coding, meet AI deployment**
Nexlayer works with your coding agent to ship, monitor, and manage your applications on world-class infrastructure.

**Ready for scale from the start**
When you deploy on Nexlayer, you can scale from zero to millions of users without worrying about ballooning budgets or switching costs.

**Ship anything (yes anything)**
With Nexlayer, you're free to use any stack, full-stack. If you can run it locally, Nexlayer can run it in production.

**Give your coding agent access to your production environment**
Let your coding agent debug issues, read logs, fix problems, and optimize your production environment — all via MCP.

**Works with any MCP-enabled AI coding tool**
If your coding agent supports MCP, it works with Nexlayer.

**Pricing that scales with you**
Start free, scale as you grow. Set spend limits. No surprises.

### Final CTA

**Heading:** The way we code has changed forever. Now it's time to change the way we ship.
**Subheading:** Start deploying with Nexlayer today.

## Pricing (/pricing)

**Headline:** Simple, transparent pricing
**Subheadline:** Free to start. Pay for what you use. Scale as you grow.

### How Credits Work

$10 = 1,000 credits. All resources — compute, storage, and egress — draw from a single credit pool. Buy credits, spend them however your workload demands. Scale predictably.

### Capacity Estimates

| Credits | Monthly Cost | Supports roughly  |
|---------|-------------|-------------------|
| 500     | Free        | ~50 active users  |
| 1,000   | $10         | ~100 active users |
| 5,000   | $50         | ~1,000 active users |
| 10,000  | $100        | ~2,500 active users |
| 25,000  | $250        | ~6,000 active users |
| 50,000  | $500        | ~15,000 active users |
| 100,000 | $1,000      | ~50,000 active users |

### What Credits Cover

- **Compute:** CPU and memory for your running containers
- **Storage:** Persistent volumes and database storage
- **Egress:** Data transfer out to your users

### Annual Billing Bonus

Pay annually and get your full year of credits upfront. A $50/month plan paid annually gives you 60,000 credits to use whenever — perfect for covering seasonal spikes without overbuying.

## Use Cases (/resources/use-cases)

**Headline:** Use Cases
**Subheadline:** Explore what you can build and deploy with Nexlayer. Find the use case that fits your needs.

### Full-Stack Hosting (/resources/use-cases/full-stack-hosting)

**The Old Way:** Setting up production infrastructure meant weeks of configuration — Kubernetes clusters, ingress controllers, SSL certificates, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring dashboards. Even "simple" PaaS tools force you into their constraints.

**The Nexlayer Way:** Tell your AI assistant what you want to deploy. It analyzes your project, generates the configuration, builds your containers, and deploys everything to production. You get a live URL in minutes.

Example: "Deploy this Next.js app with the PostgreSQL database. I need the data to persist." That's it. Your AI handles the rest.

**Benefits:**
- Production-Grade Kubernetes — Auto-scaling, load balancing, and self-healing built in
- AI-Powered DevOps — Deployments, monitoring, log checks, and updates through conversation
- No Cold Starts — Containers always running; instant response times
- Zero-Downtime Deploys — Rolling updates ensure users never see downtime
- Custom Domains & SSL — Automatic certificate provisioning and renewal via Let's Encrypt

**Supported stacks:** Next.js + PostgreSQL, React + Express + MongoDB, Vue + Django + Redis, SvelteKit + Supabase, Remix + Prisma + MySQL, any containerized stack

### Backend Services (/resources/use-cases/backend-services)

Your frontend is on Vercel. Your database is on Supabase. But you need a backend service — an API, a webhook handler, or a job worker. Serverless has cold starts and timeout limits. Nexlayer runs persistent containers with no cold starts.

**Why not serverless?**
- Cold starts: 500ms–3s wait on first request
- Timeout limits: 10–30 seconds — not enough for complex operations
- Debugging is painful with ephemeral logs and stateless execution
- Costs spike unpredictably with pay-per-invocation

**Benefits:**
- No cold starts — sub-millisecond response times
- Isolated & secure — dedicated container, no noisy neighbors
- Predictable performance — consistent latency under peak traffic
- Easy updates — rolling deploys, zero downtime

**Common scenarios:** API backend, webhook handler, microservice, background worker

### Side Projects & Ideas (/resources/use-cases/side-projects)

**Headline:** Your ideas deserve better than "free tier"

Nexlayer's free tier is a real environment for real things. No cold starts. No sleep timeouts. No "upgrade to unlock." When your side project becomes your main project, pricing scales smoothly.

**Benefits:**
- Start free, scale later — no credit card required
- No limitations — real infrastructure, not throttled free tier
- Go live in minutes — AI assistant handles the infrastructure
- Learn by building — personal cluster, your playground

**What will you build?** SaaS ideas, weekend hackathon projects, new frameworks to try, personal APIs, bots, portfolio sites, tools to solve your own problems, something just for fun.

**From side project to startup:** Add team members, scale resources, add custom domains — same infrastructure, same AI assistant, just bigger.

### Freelance & Dev Shops (/resources/use-cases/freelance)

**Headline:** One platform for every client

Stop juggling different hosting platforms for different clients. Nexlayer runs anything containerized — whatever you can build, you can deploy. Your AI assistant handles the infrastructure while you focus on what you're billing for: building great software.

**Benefits:**
- Any stack, any client — WordPress, Next.js, Django, legacy PHP — if it runs in Docker, Nexlayer runs it
- Ship faster — no wasted billable hours on DevOps
- Reliable handoffs — production-grade environment clients can trust
- Predictable costs — know hosting costs before you quote

**Workflow:**
1. Build the app using whatever stack makes sense
2. Deploy to staging for client review
3. Go to production — connect domain, SSL and scaling handled automatically
4. Hand off or maintain as part of a retainer

### Research & Data Science (/resources/use-cases/research)

**Headline:** From local to cloud in minutes

Dataset doesn't fit in memory. Training takes overnight. Your fans are screaming. Tell your AI assistant what you need — it handles the rest.

**Benefits:**
- Scale compute — cloud-scale CPU and memory beyond your laptop
- Persistent storage — datasets, model checkpoints, and results survive restarts
- Right-size resources — allocate exactly what you need; scale up for training, down for inference
- Your tools, your way — bring your own Docker image with exact dependencies and CUDA version

**Common use cases:** ML model training, data processing pipelines (Pandas/Spark/Dask), JupyterLab in the cloud, model serving and inference APIs, batch processing

**Example config (JupyterLab):**
```yaml
application:
  name: research-notebook
pods:
  - name: jupyter
    image: jupyter/scipy-notebook:latest
    path: /
    servicePorts: [8888]
    resources:
      cpu: "4"
      memory: "8Gi"
    volumes:
      - name: notebooks
        size: 20Gi
        mountPath: /home/jovyan/work
```

### Open Source Hosting (/resources/use-cases/open-source)

Self-host open source tools on infrastructure you control.

**Why self-host?**
- Data privacy — your data stays on infrastructure you control
- Cost savings — many SaaS tools cost $50–500/month; self-hosting is a fraction of that
- Full customization — modify configurations, add plugins, integrate with your tools
- No vendor lock-in — your data, your rules; export and migrate anytime

**Benefits:**
- Run anything — if it has a Docker image, Nexlayer runs it
- Persistent storage — data survives restarts and updates
- Easy updates — change the image tag; rolling deploys mean zero downtime
