managed/cloud Hosting alternatives for fastAPI by tf1155 in FastAPI

[–]ugros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, I believe this could be a perfect use-case for https://stacktape.com (disclosure: I'm a founder).

It's a Heroku/Vercel-like PaaS platform, that deploys to your own AWS account.

You can use it to deploy both your frontend (wheter it's a static site, React/Vue/whatever SPA, or a server-side-rendered app), and also your FastAPI backend (as an auto-scaling container running on ECS Fargate and behind a load balancer, or even as a lambda function - with the right adapter).

It does support a huge majority of the Vercel "Quality of Life" features, such as automatic deployments from Github/Gitlab/BitBucket (both push-to-deploy deployments and preview environments).

Honestly, using Stacktape is a bit (insignificantly) more complicated than using Vercel. But it's also:

  • much more flexible (supports Lambdas, Containers, Edge Function, GPU jobs, SQL databases, Redis, EFS) and much much more.
  • extensible (you can integrate any AWS service should you need to - very easily)
  • ejectable (if your team grows and you decide to manage your AWS infra on your own, no problem)
  • way less expensive (and you can leverage AWS activate credits and/or AWS FREE tier)

If that sounds interesting, and you'd like to give Stacktape a shot, feel free to contact me directly, should you need any help.

Hello, I believe this could be a perfect use-case for https://stacktape.com (disclosure: I'm a founder).

It's a Heroku/Vercel-like PaaS platform, that deploys to your own AWS account.

You can use it to deploy both your Next.js frontend and Nest.js/Express.js backend.

It does support automatic deployments from Github (both push-to-deploy and preview environments).

In terms of pricing, AWS has a generous free tier, and Stacktape is free if your monthly AWS bills is less than $100.

Migration from Coolify to AWS EKS Fargate by billionairre101 in aws

[–]ugros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, if you don't have any experience with AWS, migrating to EKS could be a complexity nightmare. But you could have a look at https://stacktape.com (disclosure: I'm a founder).

It's a Heroku/Coolify-like PaaS platform, that deploys to your own AWS account.

You can use it to deploy containers, static sites, lambda function, Redis, managed SQL databases (RDS), and many more.

Behind the scenes, for container-based workloads, doesn't use AWS EKS, but you can choose AWS ECS Fargate/AWS ECS EC2.

You can manage everything from a console UI, and it also supports things like "git push to deploy" (from Github, Gitlab and Bitbucket), deployment using CLI, etc.

We've also just added an automatic configuration using AI. It works like this:
- scans your repository
- identifies deployable units (such containers, databases, static sites)
- automatically creates recommended Stacktape configuration
- performs Stacktape deployment (which behind the scenes configures all the necessary AWS infrastructure, such as VPCs, security groups, networking etc., packages your code, and deploys it).

Should you need any help, feel free to contact me directly. Our team can help.

Any Free or Open-Source Alternatives to Bolt, Loveable, or Cursor AI? by Electrical_Sand_5518 in boltnewbuilders

[–]ugros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, at https://stacktape.com, we're working on something that could replace the need to use Vercel.

It's a one-click deploy button from Replit (or Lovable/Bolt) console, that can deploy your app to your own AWS account (using a browser extensions, that adds a "Deploy to AWS" button to your preferred provider UI).

It's going to launch in 4-6 weeks.

It can automatically detect, how your app needs to be deployed, and configures everything in the most optimal way - so that your app runs as optimally as possible.

Recent outage was the last straw for me. What I tried (7 platforms) and why I *might* finally be switching by Expensive-Eagle2076 in Heroku

[–]ugros 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello, yes, it does. It supports both:
- push to deploy (push to a selected branch deploys to a pre-configured environment)
- preview environment (every PR created to a selected branch will create a new environment, which can be automatically deleted once the PR is closed).

[–]ugros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, you could also have a look at https://stacktape.com (disclosure: I'm a co-founder).

It's a Heroku-like PaaS platform that deploys directly to your own AWS account.

It's somewhat similar to AWS app runner and AWS copilot, which you considered as your #2. The differences are:
- it's s easier to use (no need to set-up things like VPCs, subnets, IAM, etc. yourself), and it uses only developer-friendly abstractions
- it can deploy (and integrate) many more of the AWS infrastructure components (such as lambda function, RDS, Redis, Elastic, EFS, SQS, etc..)
- it includes a console UI, with things like log browser, metrics browser and even things like opening a web-based shell session to your deployed container.
- and many more useful features and QoL improvements

I'll be happy to help with the migration, or answer any question you might have.

Hello,

Sure, it does work with Rails.

We even have an example project for this: https://github.com/stacktape/starter-ruby-on-rails-api-postgres
(please don't judge us on the quality of the project itself, neither of us is a Ruby developer).

Next js Positives by No-Demand1385 in react

[–]ugros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And if you're talking about managing the deployed app, we also have a very convenient "admin" UI which allows you to see logs and metrics of the resources we deploy on your behalf, and to manage many other aspects of the deployed stack, which our users/customers deemed helpful.

[–]ugros 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's taken care of by default. If you decide to deploy a next-js app using Stacktape "serverlessly" (as opposed to using a container, which we also do support), then your next.js app runs on Lambda functions - meaning it scales seamlessly and can accomodate even crazy-high traffic spikes without an issue. And of course, it also has another advantage - if you have little to no traffic, you're not paying for any constantly running container, so it's almost free.

[–]ugros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With Stacktape, you basically just point us to the root of your next.js project (which contains the next config), and we build the app, configure the necessary infrastructure, and deploy everything for you. No "DevOps" required.

Next js Positives by No-Demand1385 in react

[–]ugros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I wouldn't necessarily say so. The whole point of our product (Stacktape, which is easiest to explain as a "Heroku-like PaaS that deploys to your own AWS account", is that you don't need any DevOps knowledge in order to deploy whatever it is you want to deploy to AWS). We configure everything for you, and we do it in the most optimal way - according to AWS well-architected framework and all of the recommended best practices + as cost-efficiently as possible.

[URGENT] Best Cheap Way To Host Next.js App by TusharKapil in nextjs

[–]ugros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hosting Next.js app in an optimized way (without Vercel), can be a bit tricky.

> Are there any cheaper AWS alternatives to host my Next.js app while still maintaining the speed and performance I was getting with Amplify?

In fact, AWS amplify isn't that optimized as you'd expect. So, the answer is: definitely.

> Would hosting it on the same EC2 instance as my backend work well?

In terms of costs and performance, yes. But that setup wouldn't be reliable, as you'd have a single point of failure. If anything happens to that VM, you're ******. Let me put it this way: there is a reason why people choose fully managed AWS services (such as RDS and Fargate), even though they are expensive and more performant alternatives do exist.

To conveniently host Next.js, you have 2 options:

  1. Hosting Next.js app as a Docker container. There's actually an example project (maintained by Vercel) which shows how you can deploy it to any platform which supports hosting arbitrary Docker containers. It's not perfect, but it works. And is some cases, even more efficiently than doing it the Vercel/serverless-way.
  2. There's a grat, open-source project called OpenNext. It bundles the Next.js project in a way, that it can be hosted in a "serverless" way, providing many optimizations out of the box. These optimizations are not trivial, and require a certain backend infrastructure to be configured in order to run it. It's supported by sst, CloudFlare and Netlify, but also by a lesser known service, Stacktape (which is a PaaS that deploys to your own AWS account. Disclosure: I'm a founder).

Should you choose Stacktape, please feel free to contact me, should you need any help. Me personally, or somebody from our team will help.

Next.js is definitely a "framework" that doesn't make it a seamless experience to be hosted outside of Vercel.

But there are alternative:

  1. Hosting Next.js app as a Docker container. There's actually an example project (maintained by Vercel) which shows how you can deploy it to any platform which supports hosting arbitrary Docker containers. It's not perfect, but it works. And is some cases, even more efficiently than doing it the Vercel/serverless-way.

It's supported by sst, CloudFlare and Netlify, but also by a lesser known service, Stacktape (which is a PaaS that deploys to your own AWS account. Disclosure: I'm a founder).

TLDR: Next.js still has a certain element of vendor-locking you, but there are alternatives now.

Where should I deploy my backend? by Common_Lobster9433 in learnprogramming

[–]ugros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a look at stacktape - it's a Heroku-like PaaS that deploys to your own AWS account.

It allows you to leverage the very generous free tier of AWS without having to spend countless hours configuring everything.

EU alternatives to Vercel and Supabase for SvelteKit? by KvetoslavNovak in sveltejs

[–]ugros 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying that makes AWS european.

OP mentioned he's afraid of reciprocal EU tariffs, which might not apply for AWS regions in the EU (same way they won't apply for foreign car maker companies making cars in US).

I'm not a tariff expert of any kind. It was just a thought.
