What does it cost?
The free plan covers up to 5 projects, a preview for every commit, and
*.layero.app subdomains with SSL. Pro is
990 ₽/month or
9,480 ₽/year (that works out at 790 ₽ a month): no project limit, custom domains, team organisations, observability, web analytics, Lighthouse audits and search-engine indexing. The first
14 days of Pro are free, and you can cancel before the first charge. Details in the
Pricing section.
Why servers in Russia specifically?
The CDN runs on Yandex Cloud, with points of presence in Moscow, St Petersburg and Yekaterinburg. No exposure to sanctions, no throttling, billing in roubles, and .ru domains work as usual. Your visitors do not need a VPN to open your site.
What do I need to sign in?
An email address or a Yandex account is enough. Sign in with a code sent by email or through Yandex ID — no password, no separate registration.
Does it work with my framework?
Vite, Next.js (static and SSR), Astro, Nuxt, SvelteKit, CRA and Gatsby are auto-detected. Streamlit covers Python demos. Any npm run build that writes its output to dist works too.
Can I host a full-stack app?
Yes. If your backend answers HTTP requests — server-side rendering and API routes in Next.js, Nuxt or SvelteKit — Layero builds and runs the frontend and the backend together, on one address. There are no separate servers to configure.
What about a Telegram bot or a background worker?
No. Layero is serverless: it runs your code in response to a request rather than keeping a process up around the clock. Anything that has to stay running 24/7 does not fit — Telegram bots, workers and queues, WebSocket and game servers, self-hosted databases. Those need an ordinary server (VPS).
What if I have no git repository?
Run npx layero@latest deploy inside the project folder. The CLI packs your sources and sends them to Layero, which builds and publishes them. No webhook, no repository, no global install.
How do I deploy from Cursor, Claude Code or another AI agent?
Tell the agent: “deploy this through layero”. It runs
npx layero@latest deploy --json in the project folder, auto-detects the framework (Vite/Next/Astro/SvelteKit/Nuxt/Gatsby/CRA/Docusaurus/static) and streams JSON events to stdout. On the first run the CLI prints
{"event":"auth_required","url":"..."} — the agent shows you a link, you click once to authorise, and the final
{"event":"ready","url":"..."} returns the preview URL. No
git init, no push to GitHub, no global install. The full recipe for agents is at
docs.layero.ru/en/cli/agents.
What if there is no code yet — can I build a landing page in the chat?
Yes — that is a separate tool: the
@layero plugin for Cursor, Claude Code and Codex. It does not deploy an existing project, it
builds a landing page from scratch: you describe the idea in one sentence, the plugin asks two or three short questions right in the chat, picks a structure and a design system, generates the files and publishes them. One-click install for Cursor from
land.layero.app; one command for Claude Code and Codex. How it works:
docs.layero.ru/en/plugin/intro.
Can I connect my own domain?
Yes. Add the domain in the project settings and Layero shows which DNS records to create at your registrar: a CNAME for a subdomain, an A record plus a TXT record for ownership verification on an apex domain. The SSL certificate is issued and renewed automatically.
Where are secrets stored?
Environment variables are encrypted with AES-256-GCM using a unique nonce per record. The encryption key is not stored in the database, so a dump on its own reveals nothing; the key never reaches your containers — only the decrypted values of your own variables do. They are available both at build time and inside the runtime container. Only prefixed variables such as VITE_* and NEXT_PUBLIC_* reach the client bundle.
How soon does the site open after a deploy?
Immediately. The project address is live the moment the build reaches the ready status — there is no warm-up to wait through. The layero.app zone resolves straight to the platform load balancer, so both the first deploy of a new project and every branch preview open right away. This used to take 5–15 minutes while the address warmed up on the CDN; the CDN is out of the path for user sites now, and the wait went with it.
Is Layero the same thing as Layer0 or Edgio?
No, these are different products. Layero is a Russian platform for deploying sites and full-stack apps, with a CDN inside Russia: Moscow, St Petersburg, Yekaterinburg. Layer0 was the earlier name of a PaaS by Moovweb, later renamed Edgio; it has no relation to Layero — different owners, different infrastructure.
