Built for the way AI apps are actually shipped

Most AI projects today are a Next.js or Node app calling a hosted model API. Katika is purpose-built for exactly that.

Free Next.js SSR Tier

Run a full Next.js app server-side on the free plan. Cold-start auto-suspend keeps it efficient; your AI routes wake on demand.

Bring Your AI Provider

OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, xAI Grok, Replicate, Together, Groq, Bedrock — if it has an API, you can call it from a KWS-hosted app.

Push-to-Deploy

Connect GitHub and we redeploy on every push. Or use kws deploy from the CLI. Auto-detects Next.js, Vite, static, and more.

No Bill Shock

Every plan has hard monthly caps. When you hit one, the site pauses until next month. We literally cannot bill you over your plan price.

Custom Subdomains + SSL

Every project gets yourapp.katikaws.com with free SSL. Bring a custom domain on any paid plan.

Usage + Spend Dashboard

Per-project metering of bandwidth, SSR compute, and storage with email alerts at 50%, 80%, 95%, and 100% of your caps.

How AI workloads run on KWS

Pick the path that matches your app architecture — most don’t need a dedicated GPU.

Recommended for most

Proxy hosted AI APIs

Your app calls OpenAI, Anthropic, Replicate, Bedrock, Together, Groq, or any other hosted model API. KWS handles the web layer; the AI provider handles inference.

  • ✓ Runs on standard Web Hosting plans (Free + paid)
  • ✓ Free tier supports commercial use
  • ✓ Next.js SSR with auto-suspend included
  • ✓ Outbound API calls counted via bandwidth + SSR compute (no surprise per-call meter)
  • ✓ No bill shock — pause at caps, never overage

On the roadmap

Self-hosted GPU inference

You need to run Llama, Mistral, Stable Diffusion, or a custom fine-tuned model on dedicated GPU hardware. Will be sold as a GPU add-on (shared T4, dedicated T4, or A100) layered on top of any Web Hosting plan.

  • · Shared GPU access — coming
  • · Dedicated NVIDIA T4 — coming
  • · Dedicated NVIDIA A100 — coming
  • · All add-ons stack with the standard pause-at-caps protection

Deploy an AI app in three steps

1

Pick a Web Hosting plan

Free covers most indie AI apps. Move to Starter, Pro, or Business as your traffic and SSR needs grow.

2

Connect GitHub or run kws deploy

Push your Next.js, Vite, or static project. We detect the framework, install, build, and serve.

3

Add your AI keys & ship

Set OPENAI_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, etc. as project env vars. Your app is live at a custom subdomain with SSL.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. AI projects on Katika run on the same Web Hosting plans as everything else — Free, Starter, Pro, and Business. Most AI apps today are a Next.js or Node app that proxies a hosted model API (OpenAI, Anthropic, Replicate, Bedrock, etc.), and those workloads fit comfortably on standard plans.

Any provider with an HTTPS API. We have first-class examples for OpenAI (ChatGPT, GPT-4), Anthropic (Claude), Google (Gemini), xAI (Grok), Replicate, Together, Groq, Hugging Face Inference Endpoints, and AWS Bedrock. You set the API key as a project environment variable in the dashboard.

Self-hosted GPU inference (running Llama, Mistral, Stable Diffusion, or a fine-tuned model on dedicated GPU hardware) is on our roadmap as an add-on layered onto any Web Hosting plan. It is not generally available yet. If you need GPU hosting today, email support and we will keep you posted.

Every KWS plan has hard monthly caps on bandwidth, SSR compute, and storage. When you hit one, the site pauses until next month or until you raise the cap. The hosting bill cannot exceed the plan price. Your AI provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) bills you separately for inference, and you control those keys directly.

Yes. You can change plans at any time from the dashboard. Upgrades take effect immediately and billing is prorated.
