We chose different. On purpose.
You have a choice now.
Push to deploy. Preview URLs. Instant rollback. Everything you already expect from a deploy platform, done the way you'd want it. The difference is in the decisions we made about what's fair: no seat taxes, no DDoS charges, a $100 cap that actually stops your bill.
Kapsule is a New Zealand company. We built the product we wished existed.
| Typical big-name | Kapsule Orbit | |
|---|---|---|
| Seats | Per-seat charges after the first few | Unlimited on every tier |
| DDoS traffic | Billed against your bandwidth | Never billed. Filtered at our edge. |
| Bill-shock protection | Best effort | Hard $100 cap: pause-not-charge |
| Commercial use on Free | Hobby use only | Yes, even paid client work |
| Build runtime | Shared container | Single-use hardware-isolated microVM |
Pricing
Three tiers. No surprises.
Bandwidth overages $0.05/GB, build-min overages $0.008/min. Default $100 cap on every account. You set it, we never bill past it without your say-so.

Git workflow
Push to deploy. Every branch becomes a URL.
Connect GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket. Every push triggers a build. Every pull request gets its own preview URL on a fresh hostname. Health-check gated rolling promotion. Pointer-flip rollback to any previous successful deploy in one click.
- GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket support, one-click connect
- Preview URL on every pull request
- Per-branch environment variables
- One-click rollback, no rebuild
- Auto-rollback on failed health checks

Build isolation
Every build runs in its own microVM.
No shared kernel, no neighbour processes. Hardware-isolated builds mean your secrets never leak to another customer. AES-256-GCM env var encryption at rest, decrypted only inside the build sandbox. Permanent build-log archive on every deploy.
- Single-use hardware-isolated microVM per build
- AES-256-GCM env vars, decrypted only at build time
- Permanent build log archive per deploy
- Live build stream visible in KPanel
- Build cache (node_modules + framework) on every tier

CI/CD power tools
Cron jobs, API tokens, custom headers, real metrics.
Schedule HTTP triggers with cron expressions. Issue scoped API tokens for GitHub Actions and external CI. Override response headers per environment. Real Core Web Vitals tracked at p75 for every deploy.
- Cron jobs with cron-expression scheduling
- API tokens: scoped to deploy, project, or env
- GitHub Actions starter template (deploy hook ready)
- Custom HTTP response headers per environment
- Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS, FCP, TTFB) tracked p75

Edge functions
Run code at the CDN edge, before your origin.
Intercept and transform requests at the CDN level: redirects, header injection, A/B routing, bot filtering. Writes in the standard edge function format you already know from major platforms. No cold starts, just code that runs at the edge on every request.
- Standard edge function format: write once, run here
- URL pattern routing per function
- Production-only or preview-only scope
- Deploy in seconds, propagates globally
- Never silently fails: unsupported formats rejected at save

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What stacks does Orbit support?+
Anything that builds with Node 20 or 22 (npm, yarn, pnpm). We auto-detect Next.js, Vite, Astro, Remix, Nuxt, SvelteKit, Eleventy, Hugo, Gatsby, Docusaurus, Storybook. For anything else, set your own build command and output directory in project settings.
Where do builds run and where do you serve from?+
Build hosts run in our EU region. Edge serving from Kapsule's NZ presence in Hamilton and Auckland plus EU edge. NZ visitors are served from NZ. International visitors hit their nearest edge from 119+ locations.
How does the $100 cap work?+
Every project starts with a $100/month default spend cap. When you hit it, the project pauses serving (returns 503) until the next billing cycle or until you raise the cap. We do NOT auto-bill past the cap. Adjustable per-project from $10 to whatever you want.
Is DDoS traffic really not billed?+
Correct. DDoS traffic is filtered at our edge before it ever counts against your bandwidth. Legitimate traffic counts; bot floods don't.
What happens if I exceed build minutes or bandwidth?+
Overages: bandwidth $0.05/GB, build-min $0.008/min. Both stop at your spending cap. We notify you at 50%, 80%, and 100% of the cap.
Can I use Orbit commercially on the Free plan?+
Yes. Paid client work is allowed on Launch. No "hobby use only" gotcha. The free tier is genuinely free.
Ready to push?
Start free. Push to deploy. Live in a minute.
Free forever, commercial use allowed. Upgrade only when you outgrow it.
