Reliability and limits
The infrastructure behind your published app, and the limits that apply to it.
Floot is built for production apps. Your site runs on the same AWS infrastructure that powers enterprise software — with no DevOps required from you.
What's included with every app
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Database | Managed Postgres for your app's data |
| Backend | Highly scalable serverless backend on AWS Lambda |
| Authentication | User sign-up, login, and session management |
| Hosting | Globally distributed content delivery built on AWS CloudFront |

| Jobs | Scheduled cron jobs and background work |
| Custom domains | Connect your own domain on a paid plan |
| Security | Encrypted data in transit and at rest — see Security and data |
Hosting infrastructure
- Automatic scaling based on traffic — no capacity planning
- Global CDN for fast load times worldwide
- SSL certificates (HTTPS) issued and renewed automatically
Uptime and reliability
Floot aims for high availability on all published apps. Since founding, sites hosted on Floot have not been disrupted other than during the October 2025 AWS outage.
If you experience downtime or performance issues, reach out via the support chat and we will respond quickly.
Usage limits
Every paid plan includes a monthly hosting allowance that covers most apps comfortably. Usage beyond the allowance is billed pay-as-you-go — see Hosting.
Free accounts can keep up to 2 projects and 1 published app on a free *.floot.app subdomain. Extra projects, extra published apps, and custom domains all need a paid plan.
Runaway traffic gets throttled, then a phone call
If unusual traffic patterns show up — usually a bug or an infinite loop rather than real users — we throttle temporarily to protect your site and contact you right away to sort it out.
Monitoring your usage
Track credits on the billing dashboard and traffic on the hosting dashboard. You can also just ask Floot about your hosting usage — it can read the numbers and suggest ways to bring them down.
