What is Server Compass?
Server Compass gives you the same Vercel's UX on a $5 VPS - no terminals, no YAML, just ship. Connect your GitHub repo and deploy with one click. Automatic SSL certificates, domain management, env variables, real-time logs, and server monitoring - all through a clean desktop app. No control panel bloat on your server, no subscription fees. Deploy Next.js apps like you're using Vercel, but pay $19 once. Own your infrastructure & stop paying platform premiums for simple deployments.
