Managed, patched control plane
HA control-plane pods on our shard, upgraded on a supported version ladder. You never babysit etcd or the API server.
How it works
The control plane is the span. Your nodes are the piers.
A managed, HA Kubernetes control plane runs on our shard. Your machines dial out to it over WireGuard — no inbound ports, no public IP — and register as nodes. You get one kubeconfig and standard tooling; nothing proprietary, nothing to unlearn.
- Homelab, Hetzner, AWS, a Pi in the closet — joined as one cluster.
- Outbound-only node join. NAT and home networks just work.
- One kubeconfig. Standard tooling. Nothing proprietary.
What you get
Bring your own nodes
Any Linux host that can dial out. Attach with one copy-paste command; detach whenever you like.
No node tax
We charge for the control plane you use — never per worker node, never per vCPU you already own.
Standard Kubernetes
Upstream-conformant, your CNI, your workloads. One kubeconfig, and you can leave with it.
Pricing
Priced the honest way.
You pay per control-plane replica. Each size is exactly double the last, so the price tracks the cost — and node counts are guidance, never a hard cap.
Small
€7 / replica / mo
A home cluster or a side project.
- Managed, patched control plane
- Comfortable for ~5 nodes
- Community support
Most chosen
Medium
€14 / replica / mo
A small team running real workloads.
- Twice the size of Small
- Comfortable for ~25 nodes
- Email support
Large
€28 / replica / mo
Production across several clouds.
- Twice the size again
- Room for many objects and nodes
- Priority support
Redundancy is an orthogonal dial: add replicas for availability. Add-ons (backup & restore, public ingress, managed monitoring) attach per cluster and meter only where our cost scales — always with a cap you set and a €0 opt-out.
Part of the platform
One account underneath every product.
Every Longbridge product shares one Org, one Console, and one bill — so adding the next one is a toggle, not another vendor to onboard.
See the whole platform- One login & Org
- One bill · EU merchant of record
- One CLI, SDK & Terraform provider
- EU-native by default
Try it
A taste — the rest is in the docs.
# create a control plane
lbr cp create my-cluster --tier medium
# print a one-time join command, then run it on any Linux host
lbr cp nodes add my-cluster
# → curl -fsSL https://eu-hel.lngbrdg.com/join | sudo bash -s -- <token>The honest part
- No node tax — never billed for hardware you already own.
- Standard, conformant Kubernetes. Leave any time with your kubeconfig.
- A cap you set on every metered add-on, and a €0 opt-out.
- EU-native: your control plane runs in Helsinki.
Managed Kubernetes control planes. No node tax.
Start in the Console — or read the docs first. It's your call.
