Why Lahyer
Where Lahyer
is different.
Allowances you can read.
Free gives you 500 build minutes, 100 GB of data out and 1,000,000 requests a month, each counted on its own instead of drawn from one pool of credits.
Server code in Johannesburg.
Lahyer runs server apps in Johannesburg and delivers them through a global edge. Netlify functions run in Ohio by default.
To be fair
When Netlify may suit you better.
- You want your server code in a region outside Africa, close to a database there.
- Your site relies on Netlify features such as Agent Runners, Blob storage or Netlify Database.
- You want unlimited members on the paid plan. Lahyer Pro includes up to 50.
Moving from Netlify
Three steps
to switch.
Connect the same repository.
Import it from GitHub or GitLab. Lahyer detects your framework and fills in the build command and output directory.
Move server code into your app.
Lahyer has no separate functions product. Run server code as part of a framework app, such as Next.js route handlers or Nuxt server routes, or in a Docker container.
Point your domain.
Add the domain to your Lahyer project and update the DNS records it shows. HTTPS follows once the domain is verified.
