Light Cloud VS SeaGit

Light Cloud's answer

Your whole app is in one place:

• the frontend
• the backend
• the database
• the domain
• the logs

One console, one bill. Nothing to connect, nothing to keep in sync.

And it's quick to set up. You connect a GitHub repo, we work out how to build it, and every push after that goes live on its own. No Dockerfile. No CI pipeline. No certificate to install.

Most tools do one part and leave you the rest. This does all of it.

SeaGit's answer:

SeaGit is a Kubernetes DevOps platform that bridges the gap between a simple, user-friendly Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) like Heroku and the advanced control required by enterprise infrastructure.

What makes SeaGit unique is its "Bring Your Own Cloud" (BYOC) architecture combined with a push-to-deploy GitOps workflow. Unlike traditional platforms that lock you into their own hardware and runtimes, SeaGit builds real infrastructure inside your own cloud environment.

1. Full Infrastructure and Data Ownership (BYOC)
2. Isolated Ephemeral Environments (True Dark Releases)
3. A "Pre-Wired" Platform Layer
4. Argo CD & Argo CI for robust GitOps automated pipelines
5. Prometheus for instant system observability
6. MinIO for object storage
7. cert-manager to automatically generate TLS certificates
8. external-dns route DNS configurations for every new branch or deployment

Light Cloud's answer

You need one tool instead of four, and it takes minutes instead of a week.

• A frontend host puts your React or Next.js app online and then leaves the database to you. Now you have two accounts, two bills, and a connection string to move between them.
• Raw cloud gives you everything and no help, so your week goes on Dockerfiles, load balancers, certificates and CI before anyone can see the app.
• Older platforms bill you for a server even when nobody is using it.

Here it's one signup and one push. Frontend, backend, Postgres, domains with SSL, logs and deploy history, all set up together, all on one invoice. Apps stop billing when they go idle, so you can keep six projects alive for almost nothing.

SeaGit's answer:

A person should choose SeaGit because it deploys directly into your own cloud account while also fully managing the Kubernetes cluster—handling node groups, add-ons, and multi-cluster deployments.

Unlike competitors such as Heroku (which runs on its own infrastructure) or basic Bring-Your-Own-Cloud (BYOC) tiers that leave cluster management to you, SeaGit combines direct cloud ownership with complete cluster automation.

Light Cloud's answer

• Developers shipping side projects and small products
• Indie hackers who want something live today, not next week
• Startups without an infrastructure hire
• Small teams where hosting is someone's problem but not their job

Light Cloud's answer

I spent over ten years building and running cloud infrastructure on AWS, GCP and Azure, mostly for other people. The pattern never changed. Every project meant putting the same pieces together again, from different vendors. And everyone I worked with could write the app but couldn't get it online on their own.

None of that was ever about the app. It was containers, certificates, DNS and a database. The same setup work every time, and it still eats most of the first week on a new project.

So I built the version where it's all in one place and takes a few clicks. It's still just me writing the code.
