Cycle.io

Aimed at teams too small to hire a platform engineer.

What it is sold for

Running containers across servers without building a platform.

The address redirects to https://cycle.io/, which is worth knowing before you follow it.

Same shelf

The rest of hosting and cloud, alphabetically. Sharing a category is a filing decision, not a relationship.

• Adaptable did not answer
  Template-driven deployment of applications and databases. The domain no longer resolves.
• AWS
  The cloud that set the vocabulary. Nearly everything else in this catalogue either runs on it or is defined against it.
• Azure
  Microsoft's cloud, strongest where an organisation already runs on Windows, Active Directory and Office.
• Beam
  Sandboxes, queues and model inference with fast cold starts, sold on how quickly a container becomes ready.
• Digital Ocean App Platform
  DigitalOcean's managed application hosting, deploying from a repository without cluster management.
• DigitalOcean
  A cloud that competed on comprehensible pricing and documentation rather than on breadth, now pushing inference too.
• Fly.io
  Runs applications and now agent sandboxes close to users, with virtual machines rather than shared containers.
• Google Cloud Platform
  Google's cloud. Strongest in data, machine learning and the parts of Kubernetes it originally wrote.
