Do I need to have an account on a cloud provider to use Wodby?

You can connect your own managed Kubernetes provider or use one dedicated server for self-hosted Kubernetes. Alternatively, you can use Wodby Cloud when you do not want the cluster in your own cloud account or on your own server.

Can I use Wodby with a dedicated server?

Yes. Wodby supports budget single-server self-hosted Kubernetes setups with K3s, a lightweight open-source Kubernetes distribution, when you do not need Kubernetes scaling.

I couldn't find my specific application stack, how do I start?

Start with the closest pre-configured stack and customize it, or build a stack from managed services. You can also contact Wodby to request a new stack.

Will I be vendor locked-in to Wodby?

No. Wodby is built on open standards like Kubernetes. You can disconnect your cluster and keep running your apps, but Wodby-managed tasks stop.

I have a small website (PHP, MySQL). How much would it cost? What if I deploy 10 of them?

Pricing is based on total app services. One site with Nginx, PHP-FPM, and MySQL is 3 services and falls under the $48/month minimum tier. Ten such sites total 30 services and cost $60/month. Extra CI/CD minutes and registry storage are billed separately.

Deploy Ruby on Rails

Deploy Rails applications with Wodby’s managed Ruby on Rails stack. Start from a reusable application setup, keep environments consistent, and ship database-backed web apps, JSON APIs, and background jobs without rebuilding the delivery platform around each project.

Start with Wodby View Ruby on Rails stack

Start with a managed Ruby on Rails stack

Use a ready-to-run Ruby on Rails stack and boilerplate instead of assembling the runtime, supporting services, and deployment workflow from scratch.

Keep application services organized

Run database-backed web apps, JSON APIs, and background jobs with clear service boundaries and environment configuration that stays consistent across deployments.

Use one workflow for delivery and operations

Keep CI/CD, routes, certificates, backups, and scaling controls in the same Wodby workflow.

A modern deployment model for Ruby on Rails

Ruby on Rails teams benefit from repeatable builds, predictable environment configuration, and a clean way to operate application and supporting services together.

Wodby packages that model as a managed stack on Wodby Cloud, managed Kubernetes, or self-hosted Kubernetes, so teams can standardize delivery without maintaining a separate platform for every Ruby on Rails project.

A practical fit for Ruby on Rails workloads

Deploy database-backed web apps, JSON APIs, and background jobs from a reusable stack and boilerplate.
Keep application, worker, database, and cache services separated where the stack needs them.
Use consistent configuration across development, staging, and production environments.
Reduce custom work around releases, routes, certificates, backups, and scaling.

What you get with Wodby

Managed Ruby on Rails stack for modern container-based deployments
Built-in CI/CD with image builds, deployment history, and rollback attempts
Controlled automatic updates for stack services, app environments, and infrastructure
Automated backups and imports for safer releases and migrations
Managed routes, endpoints, and domain setup
App service controls for settings, resources, links, volumes, actions, and terminal access
Open, portable infrastructure via Wodby’s platform model

How Ruby on Rails deployment works on Wodby

1
Choose Wodby Cloud, managed Kubernetes, or a single-server self-hosted Kubernetes setup.
2
Create a new app from the Ruby on Rails stack and its boilerplate, then connect your repository.
3
Configure services, domains, environment variables, persistent volumes, and databases as needed.
4
Deploy through the built-in CI/CD workflow and scale application or worker services when demand changes.

Suitable for Rails product teams, SaaS developers, and web agencies

This setup is designed for teams that want to ship Rails applications with repeatable environments and less platform work around every project.

Wodby provides the managed Ruby on Rails stack and delivery workflow while preserving Kubernetes-based infrastructure choices as requirements grow.

Start deploying

Want to launch Ruby on Rails with less setup overhead?

Start with Wodby's managed Ruby on Rails stack, connect your repo, and handle deployments, environments, and operations in one place.

Stack-specific feature

Start from the Wodby Rails boilerplate

The Rails boilerplate provides a working project baseline for the managed stack, giving teams an application structure they can customize instead of assembling the first deployment by hand.

Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, and Valkey are enabled by default, with database and cache connections wired through stack service links.

Hosting options

Choose the hosting model that fits your team

Run Wodby on your own managed Kubernetes, on a budget self-hosted Kubernetes server, or on fully managed Wodby Cloud.

Managed Kubernetes in your cloud account

Connect AWS, GCP, DigitalOcean, Azure, or another supported provider and let Wodby provision and manage the cluster setup in your own account.

View managed Kubernetes

Budget self-hosted Kubernetes

Run a single-server self-hosted Kubernetes setup with K3s when budget hosting matters more than Kubernetes scaling.

Explore self-hosted Kubernetes

Fully managed Wodby Cloud

Use Wodby Cloud when you want the cluster hosted by Wodby instead of in your own cloud account or on your own server.

Integrations

Keep third-party integrations organized and under control across all of your apps and environments

Connect popular services once, attach them where they are needed, and manage configuration centrally instead of chasing secrets and variables across projects.

Control integrations without losing flexibility

Organize third-party connections in one place across all of your apps.
Keep credentials out of repositories and under tighter operational control.
Override values per environment without rebuilding or reworking each app.

Stack-specific feature

Sidekiq workers share the application build

A Sidekiq service runs the same application image as the Rails web service, so background jobs stay separate while web and worker processes share one build.

Post-deploy actions prepare the database on every release and seed it on the first deployment, while Rails secrets and environment settings are handled through the stack.

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.

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.
