Flowise, the open‑source visual AI‑agent builder, now offers five distinct deployment paths. From a one‑click Sliplane service to a self‑managed Hetzner VPS, developers can pick a route that matches budget, skill level, and scalability needs. Even a fully hosted Flowise Cloud option eliminates infrastructure chores.

For quick production, Sliplane charges €9 per month per server and supplies automatic SSL and backups, striking a balance between ease and control. Hetzner VPS starts at €3.49 monthly for 2 vCPU, granting full OS access but demanding manual Docker setup. Local Docker remains free for dev work, while Kubernetes delivers auto‑scaling at high operational overhead and variable cloud fees.

Most teams gravitate toward Sliplane as the sweet spot: production‑ready in minutes, predictable pricing, and enough configurability for multiple services. Developers can prototype locally with Docker, migrate to a VPS for tighter budgets, or scale to Kubernetes only when traffic demands auto‑scaling. Watch for upcoming pricing updates and community‑driven plugins.
