Teams shipping faster with Nexos

Linework ships a collaborative project management tool built on Next.js, Postgres, and Redis. Their old workflow ran previews on a single shared staging cluster in AWS — every push required a Helm upgrade, every database change required a coordination Slack message.

They migrated to Nexos in two days. The Dockerfile already existed. The seed file was a one-line pg_dump of their anonymised staging database. Within the first week, every open pull request had its own URL in the PR description.

The real unlock was database persistence. Their QA team had been running the same seven-step onboarding flow for every regression test. With Nexos, they run it once, add a bug-repro test user, and that user survives every push on the branch until the bug is fixed.

Peridot builds an AI writing assistant with a Python FastAPI backend, a Redis queue, and a Next.js frontend. Their previous host charged per-service for every preview, which meant six services times four active branches — twenty-four always-on containers they were paying for even at night.

On Nexos, each preview is one environment with all services wired together. Paused environments stop billing immediately. Their preview bill went from $640/month to $18.

For investor demos, the team now branches from main, wires up a new feature over a weekend, and shares the URL in the same email as the deck. Zero ops. Zero coordination.

Archiva is an open-source markdown tooling library. The maintainer runs a docs site that needs to rebuild for every contributor PR so she can preview their changes.

She needed something cheaper than the big SaaS options but with more polish than rolling her own review-apps script. Nexos free tier covered the first few branches; once she went past the quota, the per-second billing kicked in for pennies per build.

Contributors now get a preview link on their PR automatically. Her review time dropped from “I'll look when I'm at my desk” to “already did it on my phone”.
