Hey r/rust ,

I’ve been deploying Rust apps (Rocket) for a while (and some parts of this service are even built with Rust), and one thing that always bothered me was the cost—especially when you have small projects that don’t get much traffic.

The problem:

• Paying for idle time – Many hosting providers charge you 24/7, even if your app is inactive most of the time.
• Multiple apps, multiple bills – Want to run a few small Rust services? You'll likely end up paying for each one individually, even with minimal traffic.

I wanted to address this, so I built Leapcell. It’s a serverless platform where you can deploy Rust apps instantly, get a URL, and only pay for actual usage—no more paying for idle time.

If you’ve struggled with the cost of Rust hosting, I’d love to hear your feedback!
