Fascinating product! I was wondering if there are any other products that are similar to yours? Other than serverless platforms such as Cloudlfare Workers or AWS Lambda.
I know Stackpath has been offering this kind of thing for a while. So how would your product compare to theirs? Since Stackpath has a well established cdn network already.
All of the clouds have a service to run containers (GCP Cloud Run, Azure Container Instance, AWS Fargate) but you have to deploy to the different regions separately and use their global load balancers or an external CDN to manage traffic.
Stackpath is an amalgamation of many acquired companies. Their CDN is fine but nothing special. The computing services aren't great. Not very competitive on price and have reliability and latency issues. Their cloud storage is white-labeled Wasabi. I wouldn't recommend them as the first choice for anything.
Adding onto my last comment, is Stackpath container pricing cheaper than yours at the moment?
I understand this might be due to Stackpath being a larger company and owning hardware instead of renting it. But the price for traffic and compute seem to be cheaper. There is also no mention of how much you charge for storage on the pricing page.
I’m looking to deploy my next app onto one of these platforms and would like to know the price differences!
Stackpath is cheaper on bandwidth, mostly because of scale. For video based applications, this is a big deal (and we work with video companies to try and get better bandwidth pricing). For typical web app servers, bandwidth is usually not a very large expense.
CPU based pricing is pretty close. We've heard our CPUs are higher performance, but haven't done any real testing. The people who run high CPU apps on us _tend_ to pay less because we scale up and down so quickly.
Thank you for your reply. Your deployment seems to be a lot more streamlined and simpler than Stackpath at the moment. That just might be the deciding factor for me and other developers!
