This looks quite interesting, congrats on the launch!

Reminiscent of fly.io. Is it a direct competitor, or is there a major twist to it?

How do you handle apps composed of multiple services, if there isn't a configuration?

The pricing is a bit confusing by the way, the free tier says "16GB of RAM & 16 vCPU per service" while in reality it seems you only get the 512mb RAM instance.

Thanks! Hope you’ll like it :)

We have similarities with fly.io (Firecracker MicroVMs on top of BareMetal) and also some key differences:

- we directly integrate with GitHub to automatically build your application on push. We support building native code with Builpacks or from Dockerfile in addition to pre-built containers.

- we put a CDN in front of all your services to provide caching and edge TLS termination

- technically, our internal network is a service mesh built with Kuma and Envoy

- overall, we aim to be a bit higher in the stack, instead of looking at providing low-level virtual machines, we want to focus on productivity features like preview environments

We actually thought zero infrastructure configuration. At this stage, there is some basic setup to do for a multi-service app. You need to configure the HTTP routes. We aim to add as much automatic discovery of the codebase as possible.

Thanks for the feedback on the pricing. $0 is actually the price of the plan and we provide $5.5 of free credit in the plan. It seems the “Up to” was somehow skipped in the “16GB & 16 vCPU per service”, this is indeed confusing.

Do you have any plans to get into managed databases and other storage / state management solutions? I feel like 90% of what from a cloud provider is managed Postgres (with strong durability and availability guarantees) and some way to run compute (I don't even really care what or how that works for the most part). Everything else is a nice to have.

We are currently working on our managed Postgres offering. Should be available in technical preview in September. Other services like providing object storage are planned too but I don't have any ETA to share for now :)

[nicoburns]

Awesome! Object storage is also useful but less crucial because integrating with external services for object storage is much less painful :)
