Serverless containers: pay for what you use

Some services run only part of the day: a test environment, a job queue, an API with spiky traffic. Instead of renting a node for them, use Gyro Containers Serverless: choose vCPU and memory for each container and pay only while it runs.

How does it work?

• You choose the size: valid combinations from 0.25 vCPU / 0.5 GB up to 4 vCPU / 30 GB.
• Price: hourly price = vCPU x 0.0298 € + GB x 0.0024 € (excluding VAT). The smallest container (0.25 vCPU / 0.5 GB) running a full month costs about 6.31 €.
• No charge when unused: when you scale the replicas to 0 or stop the service, the charge stops.
• Isolated runtime: every container runs in its own isolated environment and cannot reach other customers' containers over the network.
• Same panel and tools: HTTPS address, domain + free SSL, versions and rollback, variables, secrets, logs, autoscaling and alerts, API, CLI and Terraform work as in node-based mode.

Serverless or node-based?

Roughly: if services that fill a package's capacity run more than about 40% of the month, node-based (with a monthly cap) is cheaper; below that, or when the load is spiky, choose serverless. Our decision guide has worked examples.

Limits

16 vCPU / 32 GB at the same time per account (open a ticket to raise it). Containers run as a non-root user, there is no persistent disk and outbound SMTP (25) is closed. If the region has no free capacity at that moment, the first replica is prepared within a few minutes; you are not charged meanwhile.
