Excited to announce the launch of Phemeral!

If you’re a Python developer and have been frustrated by the tedium of managing your deployment and hosting, Phemeral was made for you.

Phemeral is a hosting platform made specifically for Python web services. It makes it super easy to deploy, host, and scale Python services. It removes the complexity of packaging your own code and managing your own compute.

With Phemeral, you can write your Python services with your preferred framework (e.g. FastAPI, Flask, Django, Litestar) and package manager (e.g. uv, Pip, Poetry), no need for a special configuration file or otherwise. Connect your GitHub repo to Phemeral, and it will automatically host your app on Phemeral’s managed cloud. Continuous deployment comes out of the box: when you push to your repo, Phemeral automatically redeploys the new code.

Hosting on Phemeral's managed cloud saves you on cloud costs since you only pay for the time that your requests are actually being executed. When your service is idle, your provisioned compute automatically scales to 0, and when it receives traffic, your provisioned compute rapidly (~30ms) scales up to match the load. Your only cost is for the traffic your hosted projects receive.

A couple projects that people have hosted on Phemeral:

  • thesnapbridal.com, a platform that connects couples with photographers
  • garden-cms.itsnisu.xyz, a flexible, dynamic, and modern python based cms

If you have a Python application you’d like to host, deploy it on Phemeral!
