Use Cases

Built by teams who'd rather ship than babysit infrastructure.

Whether you're shipping a SaaS, running an agency, training an AI, running a checkout, or hacking on a side project tonight — here's exactly what Launchverse does for you, and how we're different from the platforms that ask for a foreign card before you can deploy hello-world.

01 · For SaaS founders

Ship a multi-tenant SaaS without a DevOps hire

From “new repo” to a paid customer on a custom subdomain in an afternoon.

Launchverse is the fastest way to take a Next.js, Nest, Django or Rails SaaS from a blank repo to a billing customer on their own subdomain. Connect Git, point a CNAME, and we handle TLS, scaling, build caching, PR previews and a managed Postgres or Redis with daily backups.

You spend your time on pricing, onboarding and the product loop — not on Dockerfiles, reverse proxies or cert renewals.

What you ship

  • Branded production URL on day one (`<slug>.hosted.launchverse.app`)
  • Per-customer custom subdomains and apex domains with auto-renewing TLS
  • Managed Postgres or Redis, provisioned in one click with daily backups
  • PR previews so design and stakeholders can sign off before you merge
  • Naira-denominated billing for your own customers via Paystack

Recommended stack

  • Next.js
  • Nest / Express
  • Django / FastAPI
  • Rails
  • Postgres
  • Redis

Why Launchverse

  • Multi-tenant subdomains and CNAMEs are a first-class primitive, not an afterthought
  • Build caching and persistent runtime cache mean redeploys feel instant
  • Per-environment env vars keep staging, preview and production cleanly isolated
  • Subscription billing in Naira so your African customers don't churn at checkout

02 · For agencies & studios

Host every client cleanly, on infra you can hand back

Per-client teams, BYOS to a client-owned server, audit trails included.

Whether you're a 2-person studio or a 30-person agency, Launchverse gives you a clean way to deliver every client a production-grade deployment without merging their data into your own bills, tokens or DNS records.

Spin up a team per client, give the client an Owner seat, and either host on our managed engine or attach their own VPS via BYOS — same dashboard, same deploys, but the server (and the bill) is theirs from day one.

What you ship

  • A team per client, with role-based seats for designers, devs and stakeholders
  • BYOS hand-off — your delivery sits on the client's own VPS, ready to TUPE-style transfer
  • Per-environment env vars so staging keys never accidentally ship to production
  • Deploy Hooks you can call from any CI/CD pipeline you already use
  • Audit logs on every privileged action — change-of-owner is one button

Recommended stack

  • WordPress alternatives
  • Next.js
  • Astro
  • Strapi / Payload
  • Laravel
  • Static sites

Why Launchverse

  • Client-owned infrastructure when projects wrap — no painful migrations later
  • Predictable per-team Naira billing instead of per-seat dollar bills
  • PR previews you can share with non-technical clients without a VPN
  • Web Shell on every project for the inevitable production-only debug

03 · For AI & inference apps

Long-running, websocket-friendly home for your AI workloads

Deploy LLM gateways, RAG backends and agent runtimes without going serverless.

Most “edge” platforms tap out the moment your function runs longer than 30 seconds, holds a websocket, or needs more than 256 MB of RAM. AI workloads do all three.

Launchverse gives every project a real container — no cold starts on steady traffic, generous memory headroom, websocket-safe streaming, and BYOS so you can attach a GPU box from any provider when you outgrow CPU inference.

What you ship

  • FastAPI, LangChain, LlamaIndex, vLLM-fronting backends as plain containers
  • Streaming endpoints (SSE / WebSocket) without a 60-second hard cut-off
  • Encrypted env vars for OpenAI / Anthropic / Mistral / Together keys
  • Background workers and cron jobs alongside your HTTP service
  • BYOS to a GPU host (Hetzner, RunPod, Lambda, your own colo) when you scale

Recommended stack

  • FastAPI / Flask
  • LangChain
  • LlamaIndex
  • Ollama / vLLM
  • Postgres + pgvector
  • Redis

Why Launchverse

  • Real long-running processes — not stitched-together edge functions
  • Websockets and SSE work out of the box, no special tier needed
  • Persistent runtime cache keeps model warm-up between deploys minimal
  • Spend caps and hard build-minute quotas mean a runaway agent never bankrupts you

04 · For e-commerce teams

Headless storefronts that load fast and bill in your customer's currency

Next.js + Shopify, Medusa or your own backend — with Naira at the till.

Launchverse is purpose-built for the modern commerce stack — a fast headless front-end, a separate commerce engine, and your own admin and analytics services all deploying from the same monorepo.

Every push gets a preview URL designers and merchandisers can poke at, custom domains issue Let's Encrypt certificates automatically, and Naira-denominated billing makes it realistic to actually run your business locally instead of routing every transaction through a foreign card.

What you ship

  • Next.js / Astro / Remix storefront with sub-second LCP on a typical Nigerian connection
  • Headless commerce engine (Medusa, Saleor, Shopify Storefront API) on its own service
  • Background jobs for inventory sync, abandoned-cart and order-confirmation emails
  • Auto-deploy on every push to main, plus PR previews for design QA
  • Custom domain + auto-renewing TLS in under five minutes

Recommended stack

  • Next.js
  • Astro
  • Medusa
  • Saleor
  • Shopify Storefront
  • Stripe / Paystack

Why Launchverse

  • Fast Nigerian builds — our build cache turns 90-second installs into 25
  • Naira-denominated billing for your own checkout, not just our platform fee
  • Cron-based inventory + order workers run alongside your storefront, not in a separate service
  • Roll back a bad checkout deploy with one click, before customers abandon their carts

05 · For indie hackers & side projects

Ship side projects without a credit card

A real public URL, a real database, a real domain — on the free tier.

The free tier is built so you can take an idea from idea to a public URL on the same evening. No credit card, no cold-start tax, no deceptive “free trial” that auto-charges in 14 days.

When something takes off, you upgrade in one click — your project, domain, database and history all stay. Keep one app on the free tier forever; we'd rather you tell ten friends about us than spend ₦0 worrying about it.

What you ship

  • 5 free projects with HTTPS subdomains and a real public URL
  • 1 free managed database (Postgres, MySQL or Redis) with backups
  • Auto-deploy from GitHub, GitLab or a Deploy Hook URL
  • Free PR previews so you can show a friend before merging
  • Naira billing the day you decide to upgrade — no foreign card needed

Recommended stack

  • Next.js
  • Astro
  • SvelteKit
  • FastAPI
  • Express
  • Static / SSG

Why Launchverse

  • Genuine free tier — not a 14-day trial in disguise
  • 1-click databases mean you don't pay a separate “DB-as-a-service” bill on day one
  • Same dashboard you'd use at scale, so there's nothing to relearn when the project grows
  • Upgrade in Naira from a Verve, Visa or Mastercard issued by your local bank

06 · For students & learners

A real cloud platform you can put on your CV

The Student plan: more projects, more build minutes, the full dashboard.

University projects, hackathon entries, your final-year project, your portfolio site — all on the same platform you'd use at a paid job. We deliberately don't strip features out of the Student plan; you get the same dashboard, the same logs, the same custom domains a senior engineer is using on the Pro tier.

Build something you're proud to ship to a recruiter, on infrastructure they recognise.

What you ship

  • More projects, more build minutes and more bandwidth than the free tier
  • Custom domains so your portfolio lives at <yourname>.dev, not a random subdomain
  • Working PR previews, build logs and rollbacks — the same toolset a senior dev uses
  • Web Shell for the inevitable “it works on my laptop” moment in the lab
  • Group projects with role-based team seats, no shared password antics

Recommended stack

  • Anything
  • Python
  • Node
  • Java / Spring
  • Go
  • Docker

Why Launchverse

  • Pricing built for African student wallets, billed in Naira
  • Same product as the Pro tier — what you learn here is what you'll use at work
  • PR previews on group projects mean teammates can review each other's work without a Zoom call
  • Free SSL, custom domains and a real database on every project

07 · For fintech & regulated workloads

Run regulated workloads on infrastructure you control

BYOS Enterprise — your data, your jurisdiction, our control plane.

Financial services, health and public-sector teams have to answer questions managed cloud platforms struggle with: which jurisdiction is our data in, who has root, can we sign a DPA?

Launchverse's BYOS Enterprise plan keeps the deploy experience your engineers love, while keeping the data on infrastructure your compliance team controls — your VPS, your VPC, your colo. We run the control plane; you keep root and you pay the hosting provider directly.

What you ship

  • Application data hosted on a server your team owns and controls
  • AES-256-GCM encryption at rest for sensitive secrets
  • Role-based access (Owner / Developer / Viewer) and a full audit trail
  • Rate-limited deploy, env-var, domain and account-deletion endpoints
  • Signed Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) on request

Recommended stack

  • Anything Docker can run
  • Java / Spring
  • Go
  • .NET
  • Python
  • Postgres

Why Launchverse

  • Data residency in the jurisdiction your regulator requires — including Nigeria
  • NDPR + GDPR-aligned posture, with DPAs available for paid plans
  • TLS 1.3 in transit, encrypted secrets at rest, audit log on every privileged action
  • Responsible disclosure programme staffed by humans, not auto-responders

08 · For internal tools & dashboards

Deploy ops tools and admin dashboards your team can actually use

Private apps, role-gated access, web shell for debugging in production.

Every company ends up running ten little apps that aren't the main product — an admin console, a finance dashboard, a refund tool, a customer-success internal app. They don't need their own VPS each, and they shouldn't run on the dev's laptop.

Put them on Launchverse with a private custom domain, role-gated access for the people who actually use them, and a Web Shell for the times you need to grep a production log live.

What you ship

  • Internal apps on private subdomains, locked to your team via RBAC
  • Per-environment env vars to keep prod credentials out of the staging app
  • Web Shell on each project — `tail -f` your logs without spinning up SSH
  • Cron jobs for nightly reports, billing reconciliation, scheduled exports
  • Live logs, structured stdout/stderr with timestamps and severity chips

Recommended stack

  • Retool alternatives
  • Next.js
  • Streamlit
  • Django Admin
  • Hasura / PostgREST
  • Internal CLIs

Why Launchverse

  • Per-team role gates mean finance can use the dashboard without seeing deploy controls
  • Audit trail captures who ran what and when
  • One-click rollback when an internal tool ships a regression
  • All ten of those “little apps” live in one bill, one dashboard, one place
