A genuine guide — including when it's not.
You built something with Claude Code and you want people to use it. No need to learn about servers, databases, or DNS — just deploy and share the link.
Claude Code generates your app and Telbase deploys it. No manual steps between "it works locally" and "the team uses it."
Telbase detects vector dependencies in your code, infers the right embedding preset, and provisions pgvector with dimension-aware indexing.
Java, Ruby, Rust, PHP, or anything else — add a Dockerfile and deploy. Telbase detects it and runs your container on GCP Cloud Run. Available on all paid plans, starting at $5/mo.
Telbase deploys cron jobs to GCP Cloud Run Jobs with Cloud Scheduler. The CLI detects worker patterns and suggests the right deploy mode.
Works with Next.js, Vite, SvelteKit, Django, FastAPI, Go, Express, and more. Or bring a Dockerfile.

telbase deploy — doneBehind the scenes: detects your stack, provisions the database, runs migrations, wires env vars, configures DNS.
For a full-stack app with a database, other platforms require 5–8 manual steps. Telbase requires zero.
Most platforms advertise a low starting price. The real bill arrives when you add a database, a second developer seat, bandwidth, or a staging environment.
| Approach | Sticker Price | Typical Real Bill | Why It Grows |
|---|---|---|---|
| Frontend platform + managed database | ~$39/mo | $161–205/mo | Per-seat pricing, compute hours, database add-ons, bandwidth overages |
| Usage-based PaaS | ~$20/mo | $60–160/mo | CPU/memory billed per-second, egress fees, staging environment doubles the bill |
| Self-hosted VPS | ~$5/mo | $5/mo + your time | Cheapest hardware, but you handle SSL, security patches, monitoring, backups, and scaling |
| Telbase Starter | $5/mo | $5/mo | 2 apps, 2 databases, 1 Docker container, 30 deploys. Hosting + DB included. |
| Telbase Builder | $19/mo | $19/mo | 5 apps, 5 databases, 3 Docker containers, 150 deploys. Hosting + DB included. |
| Telbase Pro | $79/mo | $79/mo | 15 apps, 15 databases, 15 Docker containers, 500 deploys. Flat. |

Telbase gives you 10 free static sites, which covers most people. But if you're an agency or freelancer pushing 30+ sites monthly, a dedicated static host with unlimited free deploys is a better fit.
Vercel and Netlify offer unlimited static sites on their free tiers.
No SLA, no staging environments, no team access controls, no SOC 2. If you're building for thousands of paying customers with compliance requirements, you need a more mature platform.
Railway, Render, and AWS offer SLAs and compliance certifications.
Telbase runs Docker containers, but doesn't offer multi-region deployment, persistent local storage, private networking, or Kubernetes. If your architecture requires these, a lower-level platform is the right choice.
Fly.io for multi-region edge compute. Railway for infrastructure control. AWS/GCP directly for Kubernetes.
