We finished load testing our managed Postgres offering on a 2-CPU bare metal node. The results speak for themselves: • 6,057 QPS peak, 1,500+ sustained ops/sec • Sub-2ms internal latency • PgBouncer connection pooling included out of the box Real-world capacity on this tier: a typical web app (todo list, CRM, SaaS dashboard) handles 50–100K users comfortably. Heavier workloads with dashboards and analytics — 10–30K users. Scale to 4 CPUs to double that. For context, here's what the same tier costs elsewhere: • AWS RDS db.t3.small — ~$30/mo, burstable CPU, no connection pooler • Supabase Pro — $25/mo, shared infrastructure • Neon Scale — $19/mo, cold starts, ~500–1K QPS • Render — $50/mo, no connection pooler Launcher gives you dedicated bare metal performance with pooling included — no shared tenancy, no burst limits, no cold starts.

After months of building, testing, and running real workloads in production, we're opening access to Launcher Cloud. For now, the platform is available on an invite-only basis as we onboard teams carefully and ensure every deployment gets the attention it deserves. Launcher gives you the full power of a modern cloud platform — containers, databases, networking, storage, backups, and observability — running on dedicated bare metal servers you control. No shared tenancy. No surprise bills. No vendor lock-in. If you're a team that's outgrown Heroku pricing, tired of AWS complexity, or simply wants to own your infrastructure without hiring a DevOps team — we built this for you. Request access and we'll get you set up.
