Why should I use Serverless Containers?

If you need to deploy your containerized web application or service at a low cost and don’t want to handle even more infrastructure operations, should the service need to handle sporadic traffic then Serverless Containers is for you!.

What use cases does Serverless Containers support?

For now, we recommend that you use Serverless Containers to handle asynchronous tasks (for example media transformation). However, you can also use it for more synchronous tasks (microservice hosting) provided that you define a minimum scale that enables it to mitigate cold start issues.

What containers can I run using Serverless Containers?

You can run any containerized web application as long as it listens on the PORT environment variable.

Can I assign a custom domain name to my Serverless Containers?

Yes! You can now set up custom domain names rather than using the default address provided by Serverless services. You can map your services to the domain you want to your Functions/Containers.

How am I billed for Serverless Containers?

Serverless Containers is billed based on resources (vCPU and memory) usage. When the container runs, we measure the duration of the container uptime and multiply it by the reserved resources. Read our documentation for more information.
