3 best alternatives to the big cloud providers

Netlify Landing Page

1

Netlify

Build, deploy and host your static site or app with a drag and drop interface and automatic delpoys from GitHub or Bitbucket

Very interesting topic! I’m not sure if things like Netlify or Vercel could replace something like Kubernetes on GCP but I believe in the power of Netlify for hosting websites!

Heroku Landing Page

Heroku

Agile deployment platform for Ruby, Node.js, Clojure, Java, Python, and Scala. Setup takes only minutes and deploys are instant through git. Leave tedious server maintenance to Heroku and focus on your code.

It mostly comes in highlight due to its wide variety of useful Extensions (which include the ones for managing a database to sending emails or running cron jobs). Also,with built-in CI tools and the fact that almost all of the management tasks can be abstracted, you get a pat on the back, Heroku!!!

Hostman Landing Page

Hostman

Hostman automates DevOps saving time to developers and costs to your business

For deployment infrastructure, it uses a container that is running on top of AWS and DigitalOcean, which has a wide flexibility, i.e. this provider here supports horizontal as well as vertical scaling, which is a point one must not miss while talking about Hostman. Also, like Netlify, ‘push-to-deploy’ is an option here as well, so once you push the code to Github, it gets automatically updated.

Amazon AWS Landing Page

Amazon AWS

Amazon Web Services offers reliable, scalable, and inexpensive cloud computing services. Free to join, pay only for what you use.

As the complexity of Cloud Computing is reaching clouds, we, as developers, are posed with problems that never existed before; deployment being one of them. Of course, one could always go for Virtual Private Servers (VPS) or (opting for more modern means) cloud services such as AWS, Azure or GCP. Sure, these providers have fulfilled their promise of easing the process of deployment to an extent, but the ever evolving nature of cloud has rendered it still hard to navigate through.
