I'm excited to see so much interest in making Cloud Native more accessible. Companies like Qovery and FlightControl make awesome products too, of course. This is not a winner-takes-it-all problem because the market is huge and infrastructure is diverse.
It is a crowded space! We track over 100 related companies in the competitive set at Coherence (withcoherence.com) - where I’m a cofounder.
That said, we believe that Coherence is unique in being integrated from dev all the way to production (it concludes cloud IDEs natively), being dashboard (vs CLI) based, and having a strong opinion about what environments types you need and how they relate to each other. This lets us reduce the CI/CD and integration work needed to use this on your team by 10x.
Similar to SetOps (which looks like an awesome product, btw) we don’t bet 100% on k8s as the only answer and believe in leveraging cloud-provided abstractions as much as possible. Agree with the sentiment that this is a big space and won’t have a winner-take-all outcome.
We’re in a closed beta, so if you’re interested in giving it a spin please get in touch!
We worked hard to resolve the most common pain points when using the cloud in production:
For developers, we are the parrot on their shoulders: with our Production Readiness Check, you have the peace of mind that you didn’t forget something mission-critical for your production deployment. For example, we ensure that you configured backups for all your services, that you didn’t open unnecessary ports, and many other best practices. The Production Readiness Check is a smart checklist that analyzes your deployment. Much better than the compliance paper pile you usually deal with.
For the business people, we worked hard to offer accountability features missing from existing PaaS and cloud providers. Cost estimations are a core piece of SetOps so that developers see how expensive their deployment is. AWS sends you a hard-to-read invoice. Imagine getting a PDF from our monthly billing feature: it automatically tracks each client’s usage and calculates the cost accordingly.
