24 alternatives to Deploy backends without the hassle. An Open source alternative
I built Shorlabs out of personal frustration. Frontend deployment with Vercel felt effortless, but deploying and managing backend infrastructure was consistently painful. I wanted the same experience for backend services: connect a GitHub repository and have everything else handled automatically. Shorlabs is a backend PaaS for Python and Node.js applications. It deploys, manages, and scales backend services on top of AWS Lambda, so developers don’t have to provision or maintain servers. The workflow is simple: connect GitHub, import a repository, configure, and deploy. Most backend PaaS…

Deploy the whole thing on a $6 VPS, or split frontend and backend across different providers. You own the infrastructure. The problem I was solving: Every SaaS starter I evaluated had the same issue: they locked me into someone else's platform. Vercel for hosting.…

Hi HN! Porter Cloud (https://porter.run/porter-cloud) is a Platform as a Service (PaaS) like Heroku, but we make it easy for you to migrate to AWS, Azure, or GCP when you're ready. Like Heroku, Porter takes care of a lot of generic DevOps work for you (like setting up CI/CD, containerizing your applications, autoscaling, SSL certificates, setting up a reverse proxy) and lets you deploy your apps with a few clicks — saving you a lot of time while developing. However, as you probably know, there’s a downside: platforms like this become constraining if and when your app…
