Have been using it as a side kick project and it is awesome

Pros:

Easy to use. Much better than other deployment tools

Cons:

Add suport for a global lambda would be awesome

Best choice if you're valuing minimal and bulletproof tool. Up helps you understand serverless, will not force you to learn a new paradigm

Pros:

the less you talk, the more you do. And that's what's up about : no fake bell and whistles; the thing just work. Does supports crystal

Cons:

Underrated compared to similar tooling Does not support ruby (yet)

I have used Zeit Now, AWS Amplify, AWS CLI and Heroku. Nothing comes close the ease of use of Up. It's fool proof. Nothing beat this thing and its predictable cost model (monthly subscription with an overly generous free option).

The whole aesthetic and design looks way too much like Zeit.co and it’s off-putting.

@vandanic yeah the logo part was unfortunate, mine is supposed to be an "A" but kind of looks like a triangle. As for the aesthetic in general, I've always had a minimalistic monochrome style, long before Zeit existed. Hell their v2 stuff looks a lot like Up, it's basically a router in front of Lambda.

@tjholowaychuk I’m sure that that’s how you see it and more power to you :)

@vandanic @tjholowaychuk You gotta go w/ bigger fonts for us old timers. The tiny sliver fonts are really really hard to read for those of us who haven't yet made the journey to reading glasses.

@adrian_mejia I haven't used Now v2, but from the looks of it some major things would be: - Up runs in your own AWS account, so you get complete isolation, security and don't have to worry about third-party infrastructure going down - Up lets you deploy regular HTTP applications, you can generally take an existing Express.js app for example and just run `$ up` - Much cheaper logging, Now's logs are very expensive in comparison, Up's are just AWS' $0.50/gb—charging per line is a bit extreme, they add up very fast in real apps - Up follows industry best practices of infrastructure-as-code, up.json contains dns records etc, instead of defining them via CRUD commands - Up is one flat fee, and can be used for any number of applications, no per-seat pricing - Up's support is included in Pro, Now's is very expensive - Up has alerting for errors and so on, I don't think Now has metrics in general, nor alerting - Up has stages (production, staging, etc) and instant rollbacks, Now uses a more convoluted deployment scheme - Up has pretty comprehensive structured log querying capabilities, I'm not sure what Now has on that front, looks like only substring matches for queries - You can take advantage of the 1,000,000 free requests/mo on AWS - Now may have slightly nicer UX in some scenarios due to AWS limitations, for example AWS makes you verify ownership of a domain name via email for the free HTTPS cert - Now has a higher upper limit on the duration of a request — 5 minutes, vs Up's 30s, which is an API Gateway limitation - Now has nicer static site support, though Netlify.com is more feature-rich than Now and free I think that covers the bulk of it, happy to answer any questions!
