GDPR-Compliant PaaS That Doesn't Break Your Budget
Deploy on EU infrastructure from day one. Flat-rate €20/month. No per-seat taxes. No data transfer to the US. No cold starts.
Why Ship: The GDPR-Compliant PaaS for Europe
Ship is the GDPR-compliant PaaS that European teams trust for production reliability without vendor lock-in.
Predictable Costs
Ship's flat-rate model starts at €20/month and grows with your server size—not your team or usage. No surprise overage charges. No per-dyno, per-seat, or per-request taxes that plague Heroku. One bill. One number you control.
EU Data Residency by Default
Your data lives in Frankfurt, Germany. Not optional. Not a paid add-on. Not subject to US data access laws. ISO 27001 certified data center with daily encrypted backups. Your compliance checklist is done.
Always-On Production Apps
Persistent containers mean your apps stay warm 24/7. No cold starts like Heroku's Eco tier. No performance penalty for compliance. Deploy Lovable, n8n, Nextcloud, NocoDB, or custom Docker containers with guaranteed uptime.
Built for teams who need reliability
Deploy in 3 Steps
From GitHub to production in minutes, no DevOps required.
Choose Your App
Select an app to get started.
Connect Your Repository
Link your GitHub or GitLab account. Ship watches for push events to your main branch.
Configure Your App
Tell Ship how to run your app: port, environment variables, build commands. Works with Node, Python, Go, Ruby, Java, or Docker.
Push and Go Live
Push to main. Ship builds, deploys, and serves your app on Frankfurt infrastructure in under 3 minutes. No CI/CD complexity.
Monitor and Scale
24/7 automated monitoring, daily backups, and one-click scaling as you grow. Your DPA is included.
Why Teams Switch from Heroku
Pricing accurate as of 2026. Heroku costs based on typical production setup: Hobby ($5-7) + Standard ($50) + add-ons. Actual Heroku bills often exceed €400/month with scaling.

Common Questions
GDPR compliance means the platform legally processes EU personal data without violating the General Data Protection Regulation. For a PaaS, this means: (1) Data Processing Agreement (DPA) per Article 28, (2) Data residency in EU jurisdiction, (3) Encryption and security controls (Article 32), (4) Breach notification procedures, (5) User rights support (access, deletion, portability). Ship meets all five requirements by default—not as optional add-ons or paid upgrades.
