[deploy · how to ship]How do I deploy a Next.js, Python, Go, or Rust app to AWS via Lander?›
Sign in at lander.host/onboard with Google, install the Lander GitHub App, pick a repo, and push to your default branch. Lander runs CodeBuild to clone, docker build, push to ECR, and roll out to a per-customer Fargate task. Live in 4-6 minutes. Stack-specific 5-min guides at lander.host/deploy.Does Lander support deploying without a Dockerfile?›
Yes — Lander auto-detects static sites (no Dockerfile, has index.html in dist/, public/, build/, or out/) and ships them to S3 + CloudFront automatically. ~$0.50/month per static site instead of $9/month for Fargate. For dynamic apps, a Dockerfile is required.How do I add a custom domain on Lander?›
On Hobby ($25/mo) and above, point a CNAME from your registrar (Namecheap, GoDaddy, Cloudflare, Squarespace, Route53) at <slug>.app.lander.host. Lander auto-issues an ACM SSL cert and adds it to your ALB. ACM rotates certs automatically — no manual renewal.How do I deploy preview environments / branches?›
Preview environments per-PR are on the Q3 2026 roadmap. For now, Lander deploys your default branch on push. You can manually trigger a deploy of any branch by switching the branch in the dashboard's environment settings.Can Lander deploy from GitLab or Bitbucket?›
GitHub only at launch. GitLab + Bitbucket are in the backlog. If your code is on a non-GitHub platform, mirror to a GitHub repo (private OK) and Lander deploys from the mirror.
[pricing · plans + limits]How much does Lander cost?›
Free is $0/month — 3 static sites, 100 GB bandwidth, commercial use allowed (unlike Vercel's Hobby). Hobby $25/mo (1 dynamic + unlimited static + 50 GB). Pro $75/mo (1 dynamic + Claude builder 20 turns/mo + 300 GB). Team $200/mo (2 dynamic + 75 turns/mo + SSO + 1 TB). All paid plans include a 30-day money-back guarantee.Is Lander really free? Any catch?›
Free is $0/month, no credit card, permanent (not a 30-day trial). Limit: 3 static sites + 100 GB egress + auto-pause if a site exceeds 5 visits/day. Commercial use allowed. The catch is the static-only restriction — for dynamic Fargate-backed apps, you need Hobby ($25/mo) or above.Does Lander charge per seat like Vercel?›
No. Lander pricing is per account, not per seat. A Pro plan ($75/mo) covers your whole team of any size. Vercel charges $20/seat on Pro, which adds up fast for teams of 5+.What happens if I exceed my plan's bandwidth?›
Lander sends an email at 80% of your plan cap. Beyond 100% on paid tiers we throttle to maintain the 70% margin promise — your site stays up, we throttle bandwidth. Free tier sites auto-pause if they exceed 5 visits/day to prevent surprise bills.Can I cancel any time?›
Yes — one click in the billing page. Pro-rated refund for unused days. All paid plans include a 30-day money-back guarantee from your first charge.
[tech · stack + infra]What languages and frameworks does Lander support?›
Anything in a Docker container — Next.js (App Router + Pages), FastAPI, Flask, Django, Express, Go (net/http, chi, gin, echo, fiber), Rust (Axum, Actix, Rocket), and more. Static: Astro, 11ty, Hugo, VitePress, plain HTML. WebSockets and long-running connections supported on Pro+.What AWS region does Lander deploy to?›
us-west-2 (Oregon) by default. Multi-region deploys are on the Team-tier roadmap (Q3 2026). For region-bound or Americas-focused apps this is fine; for global low-latency apps consider Fly.io until our multi-region ships.Does Lander support Postgres?›
Yes. Set LANDER_NEEDS_DB=1 in env vars and Lander provisions an RDS Postgres per environment. Connection string exposed as DATABASE_URL. UI for one-click Postgres provisioning is in the dashboard backlog.Is Lander HIPAA / SOC 2 compliant?›
Lander runs on AWS, which inherits SOC 2 + HIPAA-ready posture. Per-customer VPC + Fargate + KMS-encrypted RDS gives you the AWS substrate. Lander itself is not yet SOC 2 certified — auditing planned for late 2026 once we have ~$10K MRR. BYO AWS (Team tier) lets you keep all infrastructure in your already-compliant account.Can I bring my own AWS account?›
Yes — Team tier ($200/mo) supports BYO AWS. Lander deploys into your account, you keep ownership of all infrastructure, the AWS bill goes to you directly. The Lander control plane stays managed; the customer infrastructure is yours.
[ai · claude builder]Does Lander support Claude or AI-driven deploys?›
Yes. Pro plan ($75/mo) includes an in-app Claude Sonnet 4.6 builder. Describe a site, Claude writes code, click any element on the live preview to edit. 20 turns/month on Pro, 75 on Team. Generated code lands in your own GitHub repo as a PR.What model does the Lander Claude builder use?›
Claude Sonnet 4.6 (anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6). We chose Sonnet over Opus for the ~6x cost reduction on input/output tokens — passes through as more turns per dollar in your plan. Quality is excellent for full-stack code generation; we measured no meaningful drop vs Opus 4.7 on our internal benchmarks.Can I use my own Anthropic API key with Lander's Claude builder?›
Not at launch. The included Claude turns use Lander's Anthropic credits — that's how we deliver predictable per-plan pricing. BYO-key is on the roadmap for users who want to bypass the turn cap entirely.
[platform · who + why]Why pick Lander over Vercel, Netlify, Railway, Render, Fly.io, or Cloudflare Pages?›
Three concrete differences: (1) per-customer VPC + Fargate isolation, not shared serverless; (2) WAF + OWASP rules + AI Bug Hunter on every plan including Free; (3) Free plan permits commercial use. See the head-to-head comparisons at lander.host/compare for the specific differences vs each platform.Is Lander self-hosted or open source?›
Lander is a managed platform (closed-source control plane, AWS deploys customer infra). Team tier supports BYO AWS so the infrastructure runs in your account. Open-sourcing the deploy primitives is being considered for late 2026.Where can I get support?›
Email hello@lander.host for any plan. Founder + Team tiers get priority response (within 4 business hours). Status page at lander.host/status. Full docs at lander.host/docs. Step-by-step deploy guides per stack at lander.host/deploy.Who built Lander?›
Lander was built by Orion (a high-school senior in Venice, CA) starting April 2026. The platform launched on real AWS infrastructure in late April 2026, with the in-app Claude builder shipping shortly after. Goal: be the deploy platform of choice for AI-built software.
