Temps

Temps is a self-hosted deployment platform that brings releases, product analytics, observability and managed services together. It is best suited to teams that want to consolidate developer tools while keeping data on infrastructure they control. Its breadth is compelling, but teams seeking a ready-to-use hosted service should wait: Temps Cloud plans are coming soon.

Overview

Temps combines git-push deployment with analytics, error tracking, session replay, uptime monitoring, OpenTelemetry observability, managed databases, transactional email and AI agent sandboxes in one Rust binary. The appeal is consolidation: teams can bring several development and operational workflows under one self-hosted platform rather than scatter data across separate services. The trade-off is that storage and query compute for the free self-hosted plan run on the operator’s own hardware, so the team takes on infrastructure responsibility.

Key features

• Deployment: Git-push releases, pull request preview URLs and zero-downtime rollouts cover both routine deployments and review environments. Previews work with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Gitea/Forgejo and other git servers; database previews and custom domains add useful flexibility. There are no preview expiry controls, which may leave teams to manage preview cleanup themselves.
• Analytics and privacy: Visitor analytics, custom events, session replay and funnel analysis are built in, with data stored on the operator’s infrastructure. Telemetry is off by default; analytics, replays, error reports, logs and metrics remain in the operator’s PostgreSQL database.
• Observability and monitoring: Temps ingests OpenTelemetry traces, logs and metrics and provides log history, continuous uptime monitoring and per-page real-user Web Vitals. This gives teams several operational signals in one place, alongside Sentry-compatible error ingestion.
• Managed services: The dashboard can provision PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, Redis and RustFS. Listed integrations also include AWS S3, Scaleway and SMTP.
• Security and compliance: Temps says secrets and credentials are encrypted before reaching the database, using an installation-generated key held only by the operator. It is not SOC 2 certified; it offers source code, a pre-filled security questionnaire and GDPR and data-ownership documentation for due diligence. Security review inquiries sent to [email protected] receive a response within 2 business days.

Pricing

Self-hosting is available now; every Temps Cloud plan is marked coming soon, so the cloud prices and allowances are not a current hosted-service option.

• Self-hosted — free: Billed $0 forever, with local unmetered telemetry and unlimited projects, deployments and users. Storage and query compute use the operator’s hardware, making this the clearest fit for teams prepared to run their own infrastructure.
• Temps Cloud trial — free: Billed 14 days free, no card required, with Starter access for every new managed account. The trial is time-limited, and the cloud is coming soon.
• Starter — $29 a month: Billed $29/ month, with 10 GB telemetry/month, 30 days retention, 50 GB backup storage, 7-day PITR, 10 GB monthly restore verification and 10 compute hours/month. It is the smallest proposed paid tier, but is not yet available.
• Team — $99 a month: Billed $99/ month, with 100 GB telemetry/month, 90 days retention, 250 GB backup storage, 30-day PITR, 20 GB monthly restore verification and 50 compute hours/month. The larger quotas and longer retention are aimed at teams with heavier usage, once the cloud launches.
• Business — $299 a month: Billed $299/ month, with 250 GB telemetry/month, 13 months retention, 1 TB backup storage, 90-day PITR, 20 GB monthly restore verification and 200 compute hours/month. The extended retention and recovery allowances suit teams with greater continuity needs, but remain future cloud offerings.
• Enterprise — custom pricing: Negotiated telemetry and query compute, custom retention, backup storage, recovery policy and region. This is the flexible option for bespoke requirements, also marked coming soon.

The cloud tiers distinguish themselves by telemetry, retention, backup, recovery and compute allowances; only the free self-hosted plan is usable now. No seat cap is stated for the cloud tiers.

Platforms

Temps supports API, Linux, macOS, self-hosted, web and Windows. Temps Fleet, its desktop client for installing and managing Temps, has installers for macOS, Windows 10 or later, and 64-bit Linux.

Who it's for

Temps fits teams that want deployment, analytics and operational tooling in one place without handing their data to a hosted platform. Its strongest case is for operators comfortable providing their own hardware and keeping telemetry in their own PostgreSQL database. It is a weaker fit for teams that need a managed cloud service today, or whose procurement requires SOC 2 certification.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Deployment, previews, analytics, observability and several managed databases are brought together, reducing the need to assemble those capabilities across separate products.
• Pro: Telemetry defaults to off and operational data stays on the operator’s infrastructure, giving data-conscious teams control over storage location.
• Pro: Unlimited projects, deployments and users on the free self-hosted plan avoid per-seat restrictions, while relying on the operator’s own compute and storage.
• Con: Cloud plans are coming soon, so teams cannot currently choose the advertised managed tiers.
• Con: Self-hosting puts storage and query compute on the operator’s hardware, adding infrastructure responsibility.
• Con: Temps is not SOC 2 certified, which may rule it out for teams with that requirement.
• Con: Preview expiry controls are absent, leaving teams without a built-in expiry setting for review environments.

Alternatives

For a broader comparison of tools focused on review deployments, see Preview Environment Software.

• sh0 is worth considering for a free self-hosted option organized around stacks, with unlimited apps and deployments and 170+ templates; its free plan is limited to 1 stack.
• Slipway offers a free plan billed forever with a $5 one-time usage grant, for readers who want to compare a different free deployment option.
• Signadot has a free Starter tier with monthly sandbox and test-invocation quotas, 10 concurrent devboxes and 1 Kubernetes cluster, making it relevant when sandbox capacity is the priority.
• Miren may suit teams prioritizing an open-source runtime: its deployment runtime is Apache 2.0 licensed and its Always free plan is billed forever.
• Spunto offers a free BYOC beta plan with unlimited workers on the user’s own nodes, for readers focused on that model.
• Okteto has a free Starter plan capped at 5 seats, which may fit a small team comparing another self-hosted option.
• Northflank offers a free Sandbox with 2 free services, 1 free database, 2 free cron jobs and always-on compute, making it a useful comparison for teams wanting those free resource allowances.
• PullPreview has a Commercial license at €300 a year per organization, an alternative to compare for readers considering a paid preview-focused tool.

Verdict

Choose Temps if your team wants one self-hosted platform for deployment, analytics and observability, and values keeping operational data on infrastructure it controls. The breadth of its tools and the unlimited free self-hosted plan are strong reasons to consider it. Look elsewhere if you need managed cloud service now, require SOC 2 certification, or cannot take on the hardware and operations that self-hosting entails.
