What is Sherpa.sh?

Welcome! Sherpa.sh is the worlds lowest cost platform as a service. Our platform builds, deploys, routes, and scales your applications globally with 80% lower costs than competitors like Vercel and Netlify. We handle all the complications of configuring infrastructure for modern Javascript frameworks (Next.js, Sveltekit, Remix, see our full list) and docker-based applications - including CDN, caching, edge functions, computing, DNS, and server management - so you can focus on writing code.

Think of us as an approachable, friendlier alternative to Vercel or Heroku. We're smaller, more personal, and handle all the server infrastructure so you can focus on your code - while giving you 5x the resources as those other providers for the same price!

You can view full pricing information on our pricing page.

How are sherpa.sh's costs so competitive?

We run our own servers for most services, instead of using cloud providers like AWS. This makes our costs ~10x less than the other providers who are wrapping AWS. By cutting out the cloud and running everything ourselves, we keep costs low and pass those savings on to you.

We've been running data centers for over 10 years and know most tricks to get the best server and bandwidth prices. If you want to learn about those tricks, check out our blog post about the hidden costs of web hosting. (coming soon)

What frameworks do you support?

We are focused on supporting Javascript frameworks like: Next.js, Remix, Sveltekit, and more, along with all their advanced functionality like Partial Pre-rendering (PPR), Server Side Rendering (SSR), and Automatic Static Optimization (ASO).

Our architecture is Kubernetes based, so we are not limited to JS projects only. We can deploy anything that runs in a Docker container: Python, Ruby, Laravel, etc.

See our full list of supported frameworks.

You can also request support for a framework from inside the portal. If you ask, we will build it, and much quicker than you'd think!

Why should I use Sherpa.sh?

Because you have better things to do than fiddling with server configurations or optimizing cloud spending. With sherpa.sh, it is easy to deploy your web app globally using best practices - without having to worry about surprise cloud bills.

You'll iterate faster with continuous deployment, save time you would have otherwise spent on DevOps, delight your users with incredible page-load speed, and if you ever run into road bumps you can get real help from a real person.

And since we skip the cloud middlemen, you'll be amazed at how affordable it all is.

Can I migrate without downtime or risk?

Yes! Our SafetyNet feature lets you migrate to Sherpa.sh while keeping your existing provider (Vercel, Netlify, AWS, etc.) as an automatic fallback. If Sherpa.sh ever returns an error, your traffic instantly routes to your existing deployment - transparently to your users.

This means you start saving money immediately as Sherpa.sh handles your traffic, while your existing provider remains as a safety net. It's a zero-risk migration that also serves as ongoing disaster recovery. Once you're confident in your Sherpa.sh deployment, you can remove the fallback at any time.
