Belmo

Belmo is a hosting platform that lets users deploy applications directly from GitHub repositories without needing DevOps expertise. It handles servers, builds, SSL certificates, and domains for frameworks like Next.js, React, Node.js, Python, Django, Flask, Ruby on Rails, Go, Rust, Docker, and static sites. The service includes an AI DevOps agent that monitors deployed apps 24/7 and sends plain-language alerts to Telegram when issues are detected. The platform is accessible via a web dashboard and a Discord community channel.

The platform is built by Chalom Ellezam, a senior backend tech lead based in Paris with over fifteen years of experience shipping production systems for companies like Oney, BeReal, Ringover, and koodos labs. Belmo was founded in 2022 to address the question of why deploying still requires DevOps expertise, aiming to make the deployment part effortless for developers, freelancers, agencies, and small SaaS teams. The team operates from a small, focused structure where every decision is filtered through whether it helps developers ship faster.

Belmo runs on dedicated Hetzner Cloud servers located in Frankfurt (EU) and Ashburn (US-East), with EU customer data staying in Frankfurt by default. The infrastructure is described as being built in Europe, and the company maintains a global cloud infrastructure presence across these two specific regions. This setup allows for low latency and compliance with regional data preferences for European users.

Users can start deploying for free without a credit card required, and the free tier never sleeps. The Starter plan is free forever and includes one service with 0.5 vCPU and 512 MB RAM (shared), free SSL, and a log explorer with 30-day retention. The Solo plan costs $7/mo and adds a custom domain with free SSL, real-time monitoring, and slow/error request tracking. The Hobby plan is $19/mo and includes up to 3 services, instant rollback, and up to 3 team members.

The process involves connecting a GitHub repository, picking a framework, and hitting deploy. The system automatically detects the framework, builds it, and makes it live with no config or Dockerfile required. Once deployed, the AI DevOps agent watches the app around the clock and can restart crashed services like email-queue-workers, sending plain English notifications to Telegram instead of raw log dumps. Users can also manage databases and Redis caches directly from the dashboard.

Belmo supports optional managed PostgreSQL databases and managed Redis caches as add-ons. PostgreSQL plans range from DB Starter at $19/mo (up to 2 databases, 5 GB storage) to DB Scale at $39/mo (up to 8 databases, 25 GB storage). Redis caches start with a free tier (5 MB memory) and go up to Cache Scale at $25/mo for heavy caching needs. These add-ons are provisioned in seconds and include automatic SSL encryption.

The platform supports a wide variety of frameworks including Next.js, React, Node.js, Python, Django, Flask, Ruby on Rails, Go (Golang), Rust, and Docker, as well as static sites. It also integrates with tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and Lovable. The dashboard allows users to push any stack, and the system handles the build and deployment automatically once the repository is connected.

The AI DevOps agent monitors deployed apps around the clock and sends plain-language alerts to Telegram when anomalies are detected, such as memory spikes or worker crashes. It can automatically restart services like email-queue-workers and provides daily AI-generated health reports that include error trends, recurring issues, and day-over-day deltas. The agent operates 24/7 to ensure uptime and quick recovery from issues.

The Solo plan includes real-time monitoring and alerts, while the Hobby plan adds instant rollback capabilities and up to 3 team members. The Pro plan offers up to 10 services, performance servers not shared with free plans, and 2x CPU and RAM per service. The Pro plan also includes Dockerfile builds and background workers, making it suitable for agencies and teams managing multiple client apps.

The log explorer allows users to search, filter, and browse logs right from the dashboard with a 30-day retention on every plan. The built-in log explorer supports error level filtering and can display real-time information like memory usage thresholds and worker crash events. This feature helps developers quickly identify and resolve issues without leaving the platform.

The platform offers instant rollback capabilities, allowing users to revert to any previous release instantly if something breaks. Full history is retained, so users can see commits like 'fix: auth token refresh' or 'feat: dark mode toggle' and roll back to a specific version. This ensures that broken deployments can be quickly fixed without losing previous configurations.

The platform is designed for developers, freelancers, agencies, and small SaaS teams who want predictable monthly hosting costs and a clean, opinionated developer experience. It is not ideal for hyperscale workloads above $10k/month, where AWS or GCP might be more appropriate. The mission is to make deploying a production application as simple as pushing to GitHub, eliminating the need for Kubernetes or YAML configurations.

Users can contact Belmo via the email address [email protected], which is the fastest channel for getting in touch. The team also has a Discord community channel at discord.gg/bPkuBrKMaG for real-time questions, billing edge cases, and migration planning. The team answers emails from a real engineer, usually within a few hours during European working days and on the same day across most US timezones.
