Deploy Node.js on Kubernetes
Run Node.js applications on Kubernetes with Wodby’s managed stack. Standardize deployments, keep environments consistent, and scale application services without maintaining the whole setup by hand.
Deploy Node.js applications faster
Start from a managed Node.js stack instead of piecing together runtime services, ingress, deployment steps, and environment configuration manually.
Use Kubernetes with a cleaner app workflow
Give your team a managed stack with preconfigured infrastructure, scaling controls, and a deployment model that fits modern Node.js delivery.
Keep infrastructure operations lighter
Use built-in releases, SSL, backups, and service management so application teams can focus more on shipping code and less on cluster plumbing.
Why run Node.js on Kubernetes?
Kubernetes gives Node.js teams a repeatable way to deploy services, isolate workloads, and scale horizontally as traffic and application complexity grow.
Wodby turns that into a managed Node.js stack so teams can keep the flexibility of Kubernetes while avoiding one-off infrastructure setup on every project.
A practical fit for Node.js workloads
- Run application, cache, and database services in a standardized deployment model.
- Scale Node.js services horizontally when traffic or background work increases.
- Keep staging and production closer together with repeatable stack configuration.
- Reduce custom setup around domains, certificates, backups, and deployments.
What you get with Wodby
- Managed Node.js stack for Kubernetes-based deployments
- Built-in CI/CD and image build workflow
- Automated backups and imports for safer releases and migrations
- Managed SSL certificates and domain setup
- Flexible scaling and resource controls
- Open, portable infrastructure via Wodby’s platform model
Connect the Kubernetes provider you already use
Run Node.js on managed Kubernetes from your cloud account for a flexible, scalable foundation that is easier to upgrade and well suited for high-availability architectures. If you need a lower cost option, choose a lean K3S setup on a dedicated server and still keep a Kubernetes-based workflow.
Budget option: K3S on a dedicated server
For smaller Node.js services, internal tools, and multi-app environments, Wodby can run on a dedicated server from providers such as Hetzner and OVH using K3S, a lightweight Kubernetes distribution.
This gives you an affordable way to keep multiple Node.js apps on one server, share infrastructure more efficiently, and avoid the overhead of a managed control plane where it is not needed.
Read more in our blog post about affordable Kubernetes with K3S.
Managed Kubernetes for flexibility and scale
Managed Kubernetes is the stronger option when your Node.js applications need more flexibility, easier horizontal scaling, and a more resilient production setup.
It is easier to upgrade, better for high availability, and gives you more headroom as your services, traffic, and team requirements grow.
How Node.js deployment works on Wodby
- 1
Choose a Kubernetes cluster from your preferred provider or use a Wodby-managed option.
- 2
Create a new app from the Node.js stack and connect your repository.
- 3
Configure services, domains, environment variables, persistent volumes, and databases.
- 4
Deploy changes through the built-in CI/CD workflow and scale application services when needed.
Read more about stack management in our documentation.
Suitable for product teams, API backends, and service-based apps
If you run multiple Node.js services, need consistent deployments, or want a more scalable hosting model, this setup gives you a cleaner baseline.
Wodby provides a managed Node.js stack on Kubernetes so teams can move faster without rebuilding the same infrastructure layer for each application.

We moved our Drupal hosting to use Wodby and changed our development workflow to use Docker at the same time. Now we can concentrate on Drupal development and we're not losing time configuring servers etc. When a site needs additional resources or hosting in a different region we can be way more responsive as deploying a new instance takes no time at all.
Tony MillerDirector at Eighty Options
Wodby’s innovative infrastructure helped us to increase the speed and simplify our app deployment, while also leaving us the freedom of handling our hosting and not locking us on a specific pattern. We are now much more robust for future growth and will be able to innovate faster.
