Embra is a hosting platform (PaaS) for web apps and PostgreSQL. You connect your GitHub repo, Embra will self-build from the source, run the app, and create a separate database for the project. The servers are located in Ho Chi Minh City, payments in VND via VietQR.

Deploy without fearing data loss

When self-renting a VPS, you have to install it yourself, back it up yourself, and handle migrations yourself. Using foreign PaaS means paying in USD, with servers in Singapore or the US, and every request from Vietnam has to travel further. The most common issue is that migration fails or data is accidentally deleted without a usable backup. Embra ensures that every deployment can be rolled back.

Features

• Deploy from GitHub, build in a separate sandbox, view build logs and run logs
• Dedicated PostgreSQL for each project, continuous backups, offsite copies, restore to a specific point in time
• Migrations are reviewed before running in production
• Worker, cron, file storage bucket
• Custom domain with automatic HTTPS, metrics
• CLI embra and MCP server embra mcp for AI agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) to deploy and view logs. Agents do not have permissions to review migrations, delete, export, or restore.
• Self-export data at any time

Who is it suitable for?

Indie developers, small teams, agencies building apps for clients, needing to run production with PostgreSQL without wanting to be a sysadmin. Currently running production with Node.js (Next.js, Astro, NestJS), static frontend, and PostgreSQL. Support for Python, Go, PHP, and other stacks is coming soon. If you are using a different stack and want to try it early, message me at [email protected], and I will provide direct support.

How to get started

Use it on the web (console.embra.cloud) and CLI (Linux/macOS). Log in using GitHub (accounts over 30 days old) will get a 7-day trial workspace. If you want to keep the app, choose a plan starting from 249,000 VND/month. Documentation is at docs.embra.cloud.

How does it differ from foreign PaaS and VPS?

Embra is not a panel installed on your VPS: Embra operates the servers, handles backups and restores for you. Compared to foreign PaaS, servers are located in Vietnam, priced in VND, and migration reviews and restores to specific times are included in all packages. Current limitations: currently in paid beta, no SLA, no queue/auth/email/realtime.
