If you want a cloud marketplace with one-click deployment and elastic hourly autoscaling, RepoCloud is worth a look. This open-source app cloud marketplace lets you deploy and scale many open-source apps with a click, often at half the cost of big cloud hosts. It starts at $0.0042 per hour for 1 GB RAM and 1 vCPU, with features like custom domain names, SSL certificates and unlimited network data transfer. RepoCloud also supports open-source LLMs and offers a free trial for new customers.
Another contender is Stacktape, a developer-focused service that makes it easy to set up AWS infrastructure even if you don't have a lot of DevOps experience. Stacktape offers flexible deployment options with GitOps, ClickOps and CliOps, and includes features like auto-scaling and private networking. It's designed to be economical, with pricing tiers that can be cheaper than traditional PaaS providers. That makes it a good choice for developers and CTOs who want to ramp up their AWS usage.
If you prefer a more programming-oriented approach, Pulumi offers an open-source infrastructure as code (IaC) SDK that lets developers write code to create, deploy and manage infrastructure across multiple clouds. Pulumi supports languages like TypeScript, Python and Go, and integrates with existing software delivery pipelines for versioning, testing and deployment. It also supports many cloud providers and offers features like policy-as-code and automated testing, so it's a good choice for teams that want to increase productivity and scalability in their infrastructure operations.
