# NimbusNexus

> A cloud platform for VMs, managed databases, and storage, plus developer
> services — managed webhook delivery and disposable email addresses for
> testing. Transparent per-second / per-GB pricing, four regions (Virginia,
> Los Angeles, Frankfurt, Singapore), no vendor lock-in, free in-region
> traffic.

NimbusNexus is positioned as the simpler half of the hyperscaler stack:
a single REST API for compute, storage, snapshots, regions, and IAM;
six managed database engines on upstream open-source code; three block
storage tiers with live resize; S3-compatible object storage; managed
webhook delivery in both directions, priced per event rather than per
endpoint; disposable email addresses for testing the email step of a
signup or notification flow; and free developer utilities (Mosaic editor
for storage containers, a privacy-respecting QR code generator that runs
in the browser).

The site is published in English (default), German, Spanish, French,
Portuguese, and Ukrainian. Non-English URLs are prefixed with the locale
code (e.g., `/de/virtual-machine`). The English routes below are the
canonical entry points; localized variants exist at the same path under
a locale prefix.

## Products

- [Virtual machines](https://www.nimbusnexus.net/virtual-machine): 36 instance sizes across four families (general-purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, GPU) with per-second billing.
- [Managed databases](https://www.nimbusnexus.net/managed-databases): managed PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, Kafka, and OpenSearch with point-in-time recovery and zero-downtime upgrades.
- [Block storage](https://www.nimbusnexus.net/block-storage): three NVMe tiers (Standard, Performance, Extreme), live resize, snapshots, cross-region replication.
- [Object storage](https://www.nimbusnexus.net/object-storage): S3-compatible buckets with Standard / IA / Cold storage classes.
- [Cold storage](https://www.nimbusnexus.net/cold-storage): archive tier with three retrieval classes (Expedited, Standard, Bulk).
- [Storage hub](https://www.nimbusnexus.net/storage): decision guide and overview of the storage product family.
- [Webhooks](https://www.nimbusnexus.net/webhooks): managed webhook delivery in both directions — verified inbound sources (Stripe, GitHub, generic HMAC) and HMAC-signed outbound deliveries with retries, dead-letter replay, operational webhooks and SDKs for Python, TypeScript and Go. Priced per event, not per endpoint. Free tier: 50,000 events a month, 25 endpoints, 5 delivery attempts, publishing stops at the cap rather than being billed as overage. Starter is $29/month (500,000 events) and Pro is $149/month; the fourth tier is Custom, priced by contract. No capability is gated on plan — signing, retries, dead-letter replay, inbound sources and the SDKs are on every tier including free; only the numeric ceilings differ.
- [Inboxes](https://www.nimbusnexus.net/inboxes): disposable email addresses for testing — allocate a throwaway address over an API, receive real mail, and read the messages back over an API — full bodies, SPF / DKIM / DMARC verdicts on every message, attachment names and digests, and optional one-time-code extraction via `?extract=otp`. Receives only; it never sends mail. Free tier: one address, 1,000 messages a month, 24-hour retention, read in the dashboard; the messages API is a paid feature. On free, an address only accepts mail whose subject contains the phrase minted alongside it — so free fits flows you control (your own signup form, your own notification job) rather than third-party mail such as a Stripe receipt or an Auth0 invite, whose subject you cannot set. Paid tiers drop the phrase requirement and add the messages API: Starter $19/month, Pro $99/month, plus a Custom tier priced by contract.
- [Mosaic editor](https://www.nimbusnexus.net/products/mosaic): browser-based YAML / JSON / Markdown editor for S3-compatible storage containers — free with every Storage account.
- [QR code generator](https://www.nimbusnexus.net/products/qr-code): free utility that runs entirely in the user's browser; PNG / SVG, custom colors, optional logo overlay.
- [Tracked QR codes](https://www.nimbusnexus.net/products/qr-tracked): scan-tracked QR codes with editable destinations and per-campaign analytics.

## Docs

The NimbusNexus REST API documentation lives at `/docs`. The hub
links into three sections: Get started, Concepts, and API reference.
Each page is canonically reachable at the URL listed below and is
also surfaced in the sidebar on every other docs page.

- [Docs home](https://www.nimbusnexus.net/docs): hub linking to the
  Quickstart, conceptual pages, and per-resource API reference.

### Get started

- [Quickstart](https://www.nimbusnexus.net/docs/quickstart): three API
  calls from a signed-in dashboard to a running VM. The single best
  starting page for someone making their first NimbusNexus API call.

### Concepts

- [Authentication](https://www.nimbusnexus.net/docs/authentication): API
  keys, the `Authorization: Bearer` request shape, scope model,
  project boundaries, key rotation, and the canonical error codes for
  auth failures.
- [Conventions](https://www.nimbusnexus.net/docs/conventions): patterns
  the API follows everywhere — resource id format, cursor pagination,
  the standard error shape, idempotency keys, long-running operation
  polling, and timestamp format.

### API reference

Auto-generated from the backend's OpenAPI 3 spec
(`/openapi/external.json`), with hand-written intros per resource
family. Endpoint cards include parameters, request body summary, and
response codes.

- [Regions](https://www.nimbusnexus.net/docs/api/regions): geographic
  locations NimbusNexus serves, live + pre-launch status.
- [Virtual machines](https://www.nimbusnexus.net/docs/api/vms): provision,
  inspect, resize, and destroy compute instances.
- [Managed databases](https://www.nimbusnexus.net/docs/api/managed-databases):
  Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, Kafka, OpenSearch — provision,
  snapshot, restore.
- [Block storage](https://www.nimbusnexus.net/docs/api/block-storage):
  NVMe volumes attached to VMs. Three tiers, live resize, snapshots.
- [Object storage](https://www.nimbusnexus.net/docs/api/object-storage):
  S3-compatible buckets with three storage classes and free in-region
  transfer to VMs.

### Product guides

Per-product documentation, separate from the resource-oriented API
reference above. These are the pages to cite when the question is
"how do I use product X", rather than "what does endpoint Y return".

- [Inboxes overview](https://www.nimbusnexus.net/docs/product-inboxes):
  disposable email addresses for testing — allocate an address,
  receive real mail at it, and read it back over an API. Covers the
  plan ceilings and which credential may read messages.
- [Inboxes quickstart](https://www.nimbusnexus.net/docs/product-inboxes/quickstart):
  allocate a disposable address, send it a message, and read the
  message back — three requests. The best starting page for someone
  automating an email-verification test.
- [Inboxes: addresses and the phrase](https://www.nimbusnexus.net/docs/product-inboxes/addresses):
  why a disposable address refuses mail whose subject lacks its
  phrase, and how expiry, retention and release differ.
- [Webhooks overview](https://www.nimbusnexus.net/docs/product-webhooks):
  inbound verification, outbound signing, retries and dead-letter
  replay for the managed webhook product.
- [Webhooks quickstart](https://www.nimbusnexus.net/docs/product-webhooks/quickstart):
  register an endpoint, publish an event, and verify the signed
  delivery — three requests and a handler. The best starting page for
  someone wiring up their first webhook.
- [Webhooks: signature verification](https://www.nimbusnexus.net/docs/product-webhooks/signatures):
  the signing contract for delivered webhooks — the headers, the HMAC
  construction, and the three rules for checking it. This is the page
  to cite for "how do I verify a webhook signature".
- [Webhooks SDKs](https://www.nimbusnexus.net/docs/product-webhooks/sdks):
  typed clients for Python, TypeScript and Go — verify incoming
  webhooks, publish events, and manage endpoints from code.
- [Webhooks CLI](https://www.nimbusnexus.net/docs/product-webhooks/cli):
  `nn-webhooks`, a single static binary for publishing events,
  managing endpoints and draining the dead-letter queue. Distinct from
  `nimbus`, the CLI for the cloud platform itself.
