Persistent Containers No Serverless

Any Node.js framework as a container

Express, Fastify, Next.js, Nuxt, NestJS, Remix, Astro – if it runs on Node.js, it runs on LAY7 cloud. You provide a Docker image, configure in the dashboard and deploy. No buildpack, no proprietary format. Standard containers on Kubernetes infrastructure.

0 ms Cold Start

Your Node.js app runs as a persistent container – not as a serverless function. No spinning up on every request, no wait time for your users. Always ready, instantly responding.

SSR & API Server

Server-side rendering with Next.js or Nuxt – without limitations. Full control over the Node.js process. REST APIs, GraphQL endpoints, tRPC – all in one container, always reachable.

npm Ecosystem

Full access to the entire npm ecosystem. Install any package, use native modules. No restrictions on package size or number of dependencies.

WebSocket Support

Socket.io, ws or native WebSockets – persistent connections without limits. No 30-second timeout like on serverless platforms. Ideal for real-time apps, chats and dashboards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Node.js versions are supported?

All of them. You control the Node.js version via your Docker image. Node 18, 20, 22 or any other version – you have full control.

Does Next.js work with server-side rendering?

Yes, fully. Your Next.js app runs as a persistent Node.js process – SSR, API Routes, Middleware and Incremental Static Regeneration work without limitations.

Can I use WebSockets?

Yes. Socket.io, ws or native WebSockets – persistent connections without timeout limits. Your Node.js process runs permanently, not as a short-lived serverless function.

Can I use all npm packages?

Yes, without restrictions. You build your Docker image with all the dependencies you need – including native modules, sharp, bcrypt or other packages with native bindings.

How do I scale my Node.js app?

In the dashboard, you choose the right level for your containers. More CPU and RAM take effect immediately, without restart, without downtime. When traffic drops, simply scale down.
