# Sevalla

> Kinsta's developer platform: apps, static sites, databases and object storage on GCP.

Sevalla is Kinsta's move from managed WordPress into general application hosting, built on Google Cloud and fronted by the same Cloudflare enterprise edge Kinsta already ran. It covers applications, static sites, managed databases and object storage in one dashboard, with pay-as-you-go pricing and free static hosting. It is the newest platform in this roster and the most dashboard-centric: automation and CLI support lag everything else here.

| Exit friction | 2 | Inferred | - | - | Standard containers on GCP; the dashboard is the only thing you would miss. |
| CLI quality | 2 | Inferred | - | - | Dashboard-first. Automation is the weakest part of the product. |
| Agent/CI deploy | ◐ | Inferred | - | - | Git-triggered deploys work headlessly; full provisioning still expects a human in the UI. |
| GA year | 2024 | Inferred | - | - | - |
| Funding | bootstrapped | Inferred | - | - | - |
| Pricing clarity | 4 | Inferred | - | - | - |

**Verdict.** A tidy, well-priced platform from a company that has run hosting profitably for a decade, which counts for something in a category otherwise funded by growth rounds. It is also the newest and least automatable option here: if your deploys are driven by agents or CI, look elsewhere.
