From code to a running product
A modern platform needs to cover more than deployment: builds, configuration, data, observability, scaling, and product evolution.
01
Deploy
Publish with the workflow your team already uses
Connect GitHub for push deployments or use a public or private Docker/OCI image.
02
Configure
Set the port, variables, database, and domain
Manage runtime, environment variables, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, DNS, and SSL in one console.
03
Observe
Track logs, metrics, and consumption
See deployment status, costs, credits, and AI usage without switching tools.
04
Scale
Adjust instances as your product grows
Increase application, database, and AI capacity according to the project’s actual demand.
05
Evolve
Evolve from MVP to production
Start small, keep Brazilian-real cost predictability, and move forward without rebuilding your operation.

A console tour: an app, observability, a template, a database, a cache, a scheduled Job and API keys, just as you will use them.
See the next version before publishing.
Create Preview environments for GitHub projects or container images. Test changes, share the version under review with your team, and validate the result before updating the primary application.
Ready container image
For applications already packaged as an image and ready for Zenifra’s official publishing workflow.

Organizations
Everything separated by organization. Your team together on the same project.
Every Zenifra account has an organization. Invite people by email to view and edit your projects with you, each with their own login and only the access they need.
One organization per account
Individual and company accounts operate through an organization. Projects, databases, AI keys, GitHub integrations, and billing live inside it.
Invite the people you work with
Send invitations by email, even to people who do not have an account yet. Everyone signs in with their own user, with no shared passwords.
Roles and per-project permissions
Owner, Assistant, and Member, with permissions by resource and action: view logs, change variables, deploy, or check transactions.
Many organizations, one login
Keep personal projects, your company, and clients apart. Switch the active organization in the console without another account.

New · Private connections
Apps, databases and cache on the same private network, nothing exposed to the internet
Connect your applications and Jobs to the database and cache without exposing them to the internet. Link resources in the same organization over a private network: the source calls the target through an internal address, even when the target has no public URL.
Internal address
An A → B link lets A call B at <project>.<organization-id>.zenifra.local, even when B is private. Targets: applications, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, ClickHouse, and Valkey.
Only in the direction you create
Without a link, nothing changes. Sources are applications and scheduled Jobs; databases and cache only receive. Other organizations cannot reach the address.
Control right away
Turning a link off blocks new connections immediately. Turning it on or off may restart the source application; Jobs use the new address on their next runs.
Map in the Console
Drag the application cards, create the links, and save the layout.
Zenifra Templates

n8n, Metabase, WordPress, and other ready-to-run applications in one click.

Complete platform
Applications, databases, and AI in one place
Zenifra is designed for teams that want to publish software in Brazil with fewer moving parts: deployment, data, AI API, domain, SSL, logs, metrics, and predictable Brazilian-real pricing.
Operations ready to evolve
Start with a small project, monitor consumption, and increase capacity without losing cost predictability.
HTTP applications
APIs, backends, and frontends with GitHub or Docker/OCI deployment.
Managed databases
PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Valkey, and ClickHouse with storage, versions, metrics, and simpler operations.
OpenAI-compatible AI
Models through a familiar API, per-project keys, budgets, and console usage.
Domain, SSL, and observability
Custom domain, SSL, logs, and metrics to operate with fewer disconnected pieces.
Scheduled Jobs
Recurring routines from a Docker image, with a cron expression in UTC, per-run history, and per-minute billing.
Terminal and automation
Control projects and deployments with the Zenifra CLI
For teams that live in the terminal, the CLI lets you authenticate, create projects, list resources, trigger deployments, and follow builds without leaving your development flow.
terminal
$ npm install -g @zenifra/cli
$ zenifra auth login
$ zenifra create project
$ zenifra deploy --project app-api --branch main
? Project name: app-api
? Runtime: nodejs
? HTTP port: 3000
Project created at https://app-api.client.zenifra.com
Flexible billing
Pay only for the hours your project runs
Like on-demand clouds, each project can be billed by the hour, with no contract. When it goes to 24/7 production, switch to monthly or yearly for a fixed cost. All in Brazilian reais.
Lowest paid application plan: Static
Hourly
R$0.01/hour
Billed in full 1-hour blocks, with a 1-hour minimum per run. Ideal for tests, POCs, and projects that are not on all day.
Monthly
R$5.90/month
The project is reserved for the month at a fixed price, even if you pause it. Ideal for APIs and apps in production.
Yearly
R$64.90/year
The same logic as monthly for long-term projects, with optional automatic renewal.
When hourly billing pays off
A 20-hour test costs R$0.20. Up to 590 hours a month, hourly is cheaper; beyond that, monthly (R$5.90) pays off.
Rounding: 10 minutes count as 1 hour; 7 hours and 1 minute count as 8 hours.
- Apps, databases, and AI share the same organization credit.
- Add credit with PIX from R$ 5 or boleto from R$ 30; your card is a backup when the credit runs out.
- Credit is for use on the platform and is non-refundable and not convertible into cash.
- Auto-scaling elastic replicas are billed per hour of use.
Built for Brazil
Leaving Railway, Heroku, or Vercel? Bring your app closer to your users
Global platforms bill in US dollars and run far from the people who use your product in Brazil. On Zenifra, you keep the same code, pay in Brazilian reais, and get support in Portuguese.
Brazilian-real billing, with PIX, boleto, and card
No IOF or exchange-rate surprises for Brazilian teams
Infrastructure in Brazil to reduce local latency
Portuguese support with product context
Applications, databases, and AI in one console
Decision comparison
Compare with Heroku, Vercel, and Railway
Global platforms are excellent, but they are not always designed around the reality of Brazilian teams. Zenifra brings deployment, databases, AI, and local billing together for people operating software in Brazil with less friction.
Heroku, Vercel, and Railway are great platforms. The difference is that Zenifra was designed for companies and developers in Brazil: Brazilian-real billing, Portuguese support, local operations, and one console for applications, databases, and AI.
