Key capabilities

UpCloud's proprietary storage technology delivers up to 100,000 IOPS on read/write operations, verified in benchmarks like those from Cloud Spectator. This enables databases and high-traffic apps to run smoothly without bottlenecks. Storage attaches directly to servers, with snapshots for quick backups. Users benefit from consistent performance across all plans, unlike tiered systems elsewhere.

Choose from 13 locations: eight in Europe (Helsinki, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, London, Madrid, Warsaw, Stockholm, Copenhagen), plus Chicago, New York, San Jose, Singapore, and Sydney. Networking includes free load balancers, VPN gateways, and NAT for private connectivity. No charges apply for ingress or egress traffic, reducing bills for data-heavy workloads.

Deploy managed PostgreSQL, MySQL, Valkey, or OpenSearch databases with automated scaling and updates. Managed Kubernetes control planes handle etcd and upgrades. The free UpCloud Essentials package bundles daily backups, floating IPs, and basic firewalls at no added cost. API access supports automation for CI/CD pipelines.
