Getting Started

• What is Voroa? A deploy platform (PaaS) built for India Voroa is a platform as a service that deploys apps from GitHub, runs them in India, and bills in rupees with a GST invoice. See how it works and who it is for.
• Hosting for startups in India: what to pick at each stage Hosting for startups in India: shared hosting, VPS, PaaS or AWS at each stage, and the early choices (data location, billing, GST) that are costly to undo.
• Deploy from GitHub: take a web app live, step by step Deploy a web app from your GitHub repository: connect GitHub, pick a branch, set build and start commands, and go live on HTTPS in India with auto-deploy.
• Free instances on Voroa: what you get without paying Voroa's free plan: up to 15 services of 512 MB, one free database, 750 running hours a month shared by services and databases, 5 GB bandwidth, 500 build minutes
• Use Voroa with Claude Code or Cursor: ship, read logs, fix Let Claude Code or Cursor close the loop on Voroa: the agent pushes, watches the deploy, reads the build log when it fails, then fixes and redeploys on its own.
• Connect Claude, Cursor or OpenCode to Voroa over MCP Connect Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor or OpenCode to Voroa's hosted MCP server. One URL, a scoped token or a sign-in, and nothing to install or run.

Workflows

Voroa Postgres

• How to add a managed Redis or Postgres on Voroa Create a managed Redis or Postgres database on Voroa, get its connection URL once, and connect your service. Hosted in India, with trusted sources you control.
• PostgreSQL connection details and how a service uses them What each PostgreSQL connection detail means on Voroa, which of them you can look up again later, and how a service reads them as an environment variable.
• Connect to your Voroa PostgreSQL database from anywhere Managed PostgreSQL on Voroa gets a public TLS endpoint the moment it is created. Connect with pgAdmin, DBeaver or psql, and restrict who may reach it.
• Create extra PostgreSQL users for each app or tool on Voroa Give a reporting tool or teammate its own PostgreSQL login on your Voroa database instead of your main one, and rotate a password with no downtime for your app.
• Enable PostgreSQL extensions: pgvector, pg_trgm and more Enable PostgreSQL extensions on a Voroa managed database without a restart: uuid-ossp, citext, pg_trgm, pgcrypto, hstore and pgvector for vector search.
• How to migrate a PostgreSQL database to Voroa: import guide Migrate an existing PostgreSQL or Redis database to Voroa by pasting its connection string. No pg_dump files; Voroa checks, copies and never stores it.
• Upgrade a database that runs on its own server Move a database that runs on its own server to a bigger plan: what you pay, how long it is down, how storage grows, and why a plan cannot be made smaller.
• Managed database storage limits Every managed Voroa database has a storage limit. See how much you are using, raise the limit when you need more, and restore writes if it goes read-only.
• Database pause: what happens to an unused free database A free Voroa database with no queries for 7 days is paused. How idle is measured, what happens to your data and backup, and how to resume it in one click.

• Connection pooling for PostgreSQL Why PostgreSQL runs out of connections before it runs out of capacity, what the pooled endpoint on your Voroa database changes, and which endpoint to use when.

Object Storage

• Object Storage: S3-compatible buckets for files and uploads How Voroa Object Storage works: create a bucket, connect with any S3 tool or SDK, read your usage, and what happens above your plan, when unpaid, and on delete.

Networking

• Inbound IP rules: allow only IP ranges you trust Allow only the IP ranges you trust to reach a Voroa web service: who can set rules, setup, CIDR rule format, what a blocked request sees, and common questions.
• Edge caching: serve static content from the edge Serve a paid Voroa web service's static content from a global edge cache: setup, cacheable file types, cache eligibility, purging, Cache-Control rules.
• WebSockets on Voroa: send and receive data in real time Run WebSockets on Voroa web services: framework setup, connecting over wss, keepalive pings, reconnecting after deploys, saving session state, and limits.
• Automatic HTTPS and SSL on Voroa Every Voroa service gets free, automatic HTTPS. SSL/TLS certificates are issued and renewed for you, on your default address and on every custom domain you add.
• How to add a custom domain with free HTTPS: step by step Point your own domain, like myapp.in or www.myapp.in, at your Voroa service with one DNS record. Voroa verifies it and issues a free HTTPS certificate.

• New Voroa services get an onvoroa.com address: what changes New Voroa services get a name.onvoroa.com address. Existing getvoroa.com addresses keep working as before and also answer on onvoroa.com. Nothing to do.
• Private networking between your services: step by step Let your Voroa services call each other on any port by an internal address, without going over the public internet. Find the address, connect, and test it.
• Outbound IP addresses: what Voroa connects out from The addresses Voroa connects out from, which to allow through your database or partner firewall, why you should allow all of them, and when the list changes.
