Lizard

What is Lizard?

Lizard is a cloud hosting platform built so coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor can ship apps themselves. Push code to git and it detects the stack, builds it, and puts it live. Postgres, Redis, and S3 storage spin up with one command, all billed by the second.

Top Features:

• Agent CLI: every command, deploy event, and log line returns structured output.
• Managed databases: add Postgres, Redis, or S3 storage wired to your app.
• Readable builds: the build planner writes a real Dockerfile you can edit.

Use Cases:

• Agent deploys: let Claude Code ship an app and fix failed builds itself.
• Migration: move services, secrets, and data from Railway, Render, or Heroku.
• Sandboxes: run untrusted AI-generated code in isolated sandboxes for batch jobs.

Who Can Use Lizard?

• Solo developers: ship production apps with databases without touching any cloud consoles.
• Agent builders: give coding agents a deploy target with readable errors and logs.
• Small teams: run staging, previews, and production without a dedicated platform engineer.

Pricing

• Free credits ($10): new accounts get ten dollars of credit for 31 days.
• Pro (pay as you go): per-second billing for CPU, memory, storage, and egress, no subscription.
• Enterprise (contact sales): adds SOC 2, HIPAA, SSO, audit logs, and dedicated support.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

• Agent-first: agents read structured deploy errors and fix them without help.
• Usage billing: you pay for measured CPU and memory, not reserved capacity.
• Many stacks: handles Node, Python, Go, Rust, Ruby, PHP, Java, and static sites.

Cons:

• Young platform: the service is new, so its track record is short.
• Variable bills: idle apps still use memory, making monthly costs harder to predict.
• Limited regions: hosting runs only in US and EU regions for now.
