Sevalla

The story

Sevalla sits at the deployment end of AI-assisted development. It runs applications, managed databases, object storage and static sites on one platform, and exposes those services to AI agents over MCP so an assistant can ship and troubleshoot code as well as write it.

Sevalla is infrastructure for running software in production, built around the idea that a developer should not have to run clusters, tune databases or maintain deployment pipelines. Code can come from a public or private Git repository, a Dockerfile or a prebuilt container image, and application hosting redeploys automatically when new commits land. Apps, databases, storage buckets and static sites are designed to connect to each other out of the box.

The newer element is MCP access. An agent connected through Sevalla's MCP server can create application and database deployments, then read logs and metrics when a release fails or slows down. Teams fence this in by isolating projects and narrowing what each agent is permitted to touch. For people who already hand much of their coding to an assistant, this extends the same conversational loop into release and incident work instead of switching to a cloud dashboard.

Geographically, apps and databases can be placed in 25 data centers, static content goes out through more than 260 points of presence, and object storage runs in 6 locations. Billing follows consumption rather than tiers or seats. Sevalla cites customer Stepler, which it says moved from $3,000 to $650 a month after switching.

Sevalla's MCP server lets AI agents deploy applications and databases and read logs and metrics when a release fails. That moves an assistant's work past writing code into release and incident handling, with project isolation and scoped permissions setting limits on what the agent can touch.

The good

MCP server lets agents deploy services and inspect logs and metrics, with per-project limits on their reach. Managed databases in 5 types with daily automatic backups and private networking. Object storage on Cloudflare R2 with an S3-compatible API and no charges for data in or out. Static hosting at no charge, distributed from 260+ edge locations. Removes routine operations work such as certificate renewals, kernel patching and load balancer setup.

The catch

It runs software but does not write it, so a separate coding tool is still required. Metered billing makes monthly spend depend on usage, so it needs estimating with the calculator. Databases are listed with vertical scaling only. Static sites are limited to 1GB each and 100 per account, under fair use terms.

Who should read on

Developers whose AI assistant should handle releases and log analysis through MCP. Small teams wanting one provider for apps, databases, file storage and static sites. Projects already containerized or tracked in Git. Static sites small enough to run on a no-cost allowance.

Who can skip it

Anyone wanting a prompt-to-app builder rather than a place to run finished code. Buyers who prefer a predictable flat subscription over metered resource billing.

The price

Usage-based with no plans and no per-seat fees. Application hosting from $5 USD / month; database hosting from $5 USD / month (free trial available for both). Object storage $0.02 USD / GB / month. Static site hosting free, including 100GB bandwidth and 600 build minutes. A sample estimate on the site totals $194.20/mo for an application, database, static site, object storage and load balancer.
