Hosting

Serverless and container hosting options

Every Hiveku project gets a live URL at yourproject.hiveku.com as soon as you deploy. You can choose between two hosting types depending on your project’s needs.

Hosting types

Serverless (default)

The default option for most projects. Your site is served from a global CDN with automatic scaling. Best for static sites, JAMstack apps, and lightweight server-side rendering.

• Zero cold starts for static assets
• Automatic scaling to handle traffic spikes
• No infrastructure to manage

Container

For projects that need a persistent server process — like a Node.js API, a Python backend, or a full-stack app with WebSocket connections.

• Dedicated container with configurable resources
• Persistent process (your server stays running)
• Support for background jobs and long-running connections

Hosting dashboard

The hosting dashboard shows:

• Status — whether your site is live, building, or stopped
• Log viewer — real-time server logs and build output
• Integrations — hosting add-ons (see below)

Cron jobs

Schedule recurring tasks that run on your hosting environment.

1. Enable cron jobs

   Go to Hosting > Cron Jobs and toggle the feature on.

2. Choose environment

   Select whether the cron job runs in your serverless or container environment.

3. Add a job

   Enter a cron expression (e.g., 0 */6 * * * for every 6 hours), the command to run, and an optional description.

4. Run now (optional)

   Click Run Now to test the job immediately without waiting for the schedule.

Redirects

Manage URL redirects from the Hosting > Redirects tab.

Field	Description
From	The source path (e.g., /old-page)
To	The destination URL or path (e.g., /new-page)
Status	HTTP status code: 301 (permanent), 302 (temporary), or 307 (temporary, preserves method)
Match	Exact or pattern matching

You can also:

• Import/export CSV to manage redirects in bulk
• Set a custom 404 handling page
• Use up to 150 redirect rules per project
