Catalog or custom app
Two paths
Choose from 20+ applications in the managed apps catalog or bring your custom software via bring-your-own-app – both run on the same operations platform.
App Hosting
on Kubernetes
Certified hosting for your applications – catalog app or your own repository: ayedo handles porting, operations, monitoring, and backups so your team stays on the product and onboarding takes days, not months.

What is App Hosting?
App hosting means your application runs in production on Kubernetes – predictable operating costs, faster go-live, and developers shipping features instead of day-2 operations. You provide code or pick from the catalog; ayedo takes over infrastructure, operations, and compliance.
Kubernetes foundation
Production-ready base
Your applications run on managed Kubernetes from Germany with Cilium, CSI, ingress, WAF, and integrated monitoring – without having to build and operate the platform in-house.
Fully managed
Operations included
We take care of updates, backups, alerting, and endpoint monitoring – 24/7 support is optional via Priority Support. You focus on product development.
How we do it
From platform to support – book modularly or as a package. Each layer builds on the previous one.

Frequently asked questions
Answers on app hosting, costs, migration, and compliance.
What is app hosting at ayedo?
App hosting means your application runs production-ready on Managed Kubernetes – we take over the cluster, deployment, updates, monitoring, backups, and support. You deliver your application as a container or Helm chart, or pick an app from the catalog.
What does operating a SaaS application cost?
Catalog apps start at about €49.95/month, custom applications at about €599.95/month; full SaaS packages are priced individually – see the pricing overview on this page and SaaS hosting. A TCO comparison with building an in-house platform team is in Managed Kubernetes vs. classic hosting.
Can ayedo migrate existing applications?
Yes. Containerization, Helm charts, and the cutover are planned with you under app hosting or software operations – whether your application today runs on VMs, Docker Compose, or a PaaS.
Is the setup GDPR-compliant?
Yes. Hosting is in Germany or the EU, ayedo is ISO 27001 certified and works with documented processes. Details under GDPR app hosting and ISO 27001 cloud hosting.
Which cloud providers are supported?
We support among others Hetzner, IONOS, Google Cloud, and on-premises environments – always with a unified platform so you can choose the infrastructure provider freely. Context: Hyperscalers vs. sovereign cloud.
App hosting vs. Kubernetes cluster only – what is the difference?
Kubernetes provides the platform; app hosting additionally covers operating your application – including releases, app monitoring, and app updates. Both can be combined or booked as a package.
Bring-your-own-app – what do I need to provide?
You provide the source code (Git), a rough architecture overview, and a business contact. Technical porting and operations are handled by ayedo – details under Bring-your-own-app.
