Porter - Heroku that runs in your own cloud

by•
Porter is a platform that makes AWS/GCP as easy to use as Heroku. With instant deploys from Git, built-in autoscaling, and automatic SSL, Porter gives you the convenience of a PaaS while preserving flexibility and control.

Appreciate the kinds words
Comparison with Dokku?
Maker
Great question. Dokku is ideal for small projects and simple applications for which scalability is not a primary concern, whereas Porter is geared more towards startups as it offers the scalability of Kubernetes and is fully configurable. Another aspect is that Dokku is a CLI-only platform, whereas Porter has both GUI and CLI like Heroku.
Latching onto this question as a heavy dokku user on Scaleway. Would it be possible to deploy it an agnostic way?
Maker
Yes, the only prerequisite is that you have a Kubernetes cluster (for AWS, GCP, and DO, we can provision this for you automatically). In your case, the recommended way to do this would be to use Scaleway's Kubernetes Kapsule and then link Porter to the created cluster.
Awesome! Thanks :)
Porter is a great product, glad it's finally getting the attention it deserves!
Maker
thanks manthan :)
Porter acts like a mothership to all the k8 clusters is very intuitive in managing the work load and the deployment 👍
Maker
Thanks !
Cool thing! Do you also support Azure?
Maker
thanks! We don't support provisioning a new Azure cluster (yet), but you can connect any existing Kubernetes cluster, including AKS, through our CLI!
Congratulations on the launch guys 🚀
Maker
Thanks 🚀🚀

Thanks - much appreciated!
Great idea and product!

I wish something like Porter existed when I started my first software engineer job at a 1 year old startup, where I spent too much time doing DevOps work + trying to navigate through the complexities and quirks of Kubernetes and Amazon EKS, rather than working on important features. Being able to simplify EKS cluster deployment and visualize + configure helm charts via GUI would still be extremely valuable today even if I am already familiar with Kubernetes and Helm. The fact that Porter is cloud-agnostic and lets me keep control of my deployments also solves a key reservation I had with other Heroku-like platforms. Can't begin to express how excited I am to give this a try!

Thank you! We had the exact same experience at other jobs/startups. Feel free to reach out if you encounter any issues!
This is pretty smart
