  • Limits add up across all regions.
  • The pod count and disk include stopped pods. vCPU and memory only count running pods, so stopping a pod frees them.
  • Over a limit, you’ll see a message such as “Your Free Tier plan allows … — upgrade in Billing.”
  • On paid plans, vCPU-hours beyond the included amount cost $2 per vCPU-month (about $0.0027 per vCPU-hour); memory is included. Always on, that’s Nano $1, Micro $2, Small $4 and Medium $8 a month. See Usage and overage.
  • Data your pods send to the internet counts toward your plan’s bandwidth.

Per pod:

  • Custom sizes up to 8 vCPU, 16 GB memory and 200 GB disk.
  • /tmp is 1 GB and doesn’t allow running programs. TMPDIR points at /home/hivepod/data/.tmp instead; see Files, limits and environment.
  • Up to 512 processes.
  • One-off hivepod exec commands run for up to 20 seconds.
  • Background jobs (hivepod exec --detach) run for up to 6 hours (1 hour by default), with up to 3 at once. See CI/CD to a pod.
  • Disk: your pod’s size is its limit. A pod more than 10% over it is stopped until you free space; see Disk usage. hivepod status and hivepod-info show how much you use. free and df inside a pod show the whole machine; hivepod-info shows your pod’s own limits.
