App Hosting Is Here: Deploy Your App Next to Your Data

Your database lives on FoundryDB. Your app lives somewhere else: a separate PaaS, a VM you babysit, a Kubernetes cluster you would rather not think about. Every query crosses the public internet, hits a firewall rule you opened by IP, and crawls back. Two sets of credentials, two networks, two bills, and a latency floor set by whatever the internet feels like today. That gap is where most of the operational pain in a small-to-medium stack actually lives.

Today we close it. App Hosting on FoundryDB is live. Run your container on a dedicated VM, reachable over HTTPS, wired straight into your managed databases over a private network with credentials handed to it automatically. You deploy your app next to your data, and the connection between them stops being your problem. It becomes the platform's job.
