[← Blog](https://watasu.io/blog) April 6, 2026 # Watasu is now publicly available Today Watasu opens its doors to everyone. No invite codes, no waitlist — create an account, top up your balance, and `git push`. Watasu is a modern platform-as-a-service built around a simple promise: **you hand it over, we run it.** You bring a standard application — Rails, Django, Node, Go, anything that builds with Cloud Native Buildpacks or a Dockerfile — and Watasu takes care of builds, releases, rolling updates, TLS, logs, metrics, and the 3 a.m. pages. ## What ships at launch Everything below is live today, not on a roadmap: - **Push to deploy.** A `git push` triggers a build, a release, and a rolling update, with output streamed back to your terminal. Every app gets a managed `*.watasuhost.com` endpoint with TLS out of the box. - **Managed databases and caches.** PostgreSQL, Valkey (Redis-compatible), ClickHouse, Redpanda (Kafka-compatible), and S3-compatible object storage. One command to attach, scoped credentials injected as config vars. - **Observability without setup.** Attach the first observability add-on and your app gets its own Grafana, wired to logs, metrics, and traces automatically. - **Multi-DC resilience by default.** Scale a process to two or more replicas and Watasu spreads them across two German data centers. No configuration, no extra fee. - **Custom domains with automatic TLS.** Point a CNAME, run `watasu domains:wait`, done. Certificates are provisioned and renewed for you. - **GitHub-native workflows.** Auto-deploy from a branch, promote built artifacts between staging and production, and spin up a review app for every pull request. - **Private services and real-time apps.** Name a process `*-tcp` for a private TCP endpoint reachable only by apps you explicitly trust, or `*-rtc` for a WebRTC-ready process with a dedicated TURN gateway and a public UDP port per replica. - **EU-hosted, GDPR-by-default.** All workloads run in EU-only data centers. No US data plane, no transatlantic transfers, no surprise compliance work. ## Billing you can reason about Watasu is prepaid. You top up a balance, usage draws it down at per-second granularity, and when the balance runs out your apps pause — they don’t quietly keep running and invoice you for it later. No runaway bills, no surprise invoices at the end of the month. Auto top-up is there when you want the convenience without the open-ended exposure. ## No lock-in, on purpose Your code runs as a standard container image. There is no proprietary build artifact, no platform-specific runtime contract, no SDK to import. The same image runs on Watasu, on your laptop, and anywhere else containers run. We’d rather keep you with a product you like than with an exit you can’t afford. ## Get started Head to [dash.watasu.io](https://dash.watasu.io/) to create an account, then follow the [quickstart](https://docs.watasu.io/getting-started/quickstart/) — most apps go from repository to running URL in a few minutes. We’re just getting started, and we’d love to hear what you build. Questions, feedback, or something missing? Write to us at .
