"Endpoints" on Aptible are load balancers. So you would pay for each load balancer your API needs (usually just 1), not every API endpoint. Thanks for the feedback on that — we will update the language to be clear that these are load balancers, not API endpoints.

We don't provide a solution for implementing SSO in your own application, but many of our customers do integrate with Auth0 without issue. For your own team's access _to Aptible_, we offer SSO through SAML integration with any provider (Google, Okta): https://deploy-docs.aptible.com/docs/sso

Thanks, that clears things up.

Another question. I tried looking for the answer on the website, but couldn't find it. Is it possible to use my own AWS account and integrate it with Aptible or does Aptible provide their AWS assets for my use? The former would be ideal for us as we would like to own (more accurately, rent them ourselves) all of our AWS assets and just have someone like Aptible help us to manage them.

Aptible hosts (and pays for) AWS resources on your behalf, similar to Heroku/Render/Railway. Last year, we built support for integrating Aptible into your own AWS account, but only a handful of existing customers are currently using that, and it's not available in the product by default. I'd be interested to learn why you prefer this model. If you're willing to chat about it, my email is in my profile.

Alternatively, have you checked out other PaaS-in-your-own-IaaS solutions like:

- https://porter.run/

- https://www.flightcontrol.dev/

- https://coolify.io/ (OSS, not managed)

These might not meet all your needs, and I think they're all relatively new.
