What drives the bill

    What your team still handles

      Blossom

      Included

      • Deploys, logs, shell, metrics, Actions, CLI, API, and Web UI
      • Apps, services, workers, databases, backups, and domains
      • Servers, server pools, firewalls, networks, IPs, and load balancers
      • Container and server autoscaling
      • Automatic repair when servers or containers fail
      • Blossom Stacks Infrastructure as Code

      Scaling behavior

      Blossom charges by managed server, so more apps and workers can fit inside the same server pool.

      What changes

      Blossom savings grow as your app grows.

      Blossom charges for managed servers. Other platforms often add cost each time you add apps, workers, containers, databases, or platform pieces.

      Pricing estimates use the workload shown above and include common production costs such as servers, containers, managed services, and control planes where relevant. Always confirm with current provider pricing pages, because providers change prices often, and compare them against these assumptions.
