Ask HN: What cloud automation platform do developers prefer?
There are quite a few automation platforms which help you deploy application on the cloud and test it real-time. Services like containership, elasticbox has got plethora of language/framework support and a good market place. But I am yet to find a good git based deployment system.
I do use containers to quickly setup services, but I still don't see a great git based deployment tool that I can quickly use to test my application during development.
Is there any good platform out there?
Would you mind paying $15 or so for such a platform which provides single click git based deployment on AWS or DO and supports all languages/framework and services?
Your thoughts?
- nibs 10y agoI am not sure I completely understand what this would look like from the description, but I have git-based deployment using Heroku. Features are developed in off-master branches, and then when you push to master, Heroku compiles from that and runs it in production. I like it.
- morpheyesh 10y agoyes, heroku is good. But I am talking about using my own cloud providers. Like DO or AWS.
- badri 10y agoYou can try Convox. Seems to have all the stuff offered by Heroku, plus you can deploy in your own AWS servers.
- morpheyesh 10y agoWill give it a shot. I previously tried convox, UI wasnt that great. Its a FOSS though.
- onion2k 10y agoI use Codeship to take code from BitBucket, test it, and push it to a host when something is merged in. I'm very happy with it. (The only annoying thing is that I need to whitelist the entire IP range of AWS's East Coast region on anything that my deployments do that requires IP based security.)
- morpheyesh 10y agoDont you think CodeShip is a bit expensive? Also, I am keen on platform that works well with teams.
- moritzplassnig 10y agoCodeship founder here, would love to get more feedback. What's your use case / team size? What price would be right?
- morpheyesh 10y agoActually your org/team is similar to github structure which makes sense. How many users have you got? I think the pricing is a bit too high. Using containers only for all heavy lifting I presume.. :)

- morpheyesh 10y agoI am actually liking codeship. Let me try and push it to my team too.. \o/
- badri 10y agoPlatform.sh is good, but it does not let you use your own servers for deployment.
- morpheyesh 10y agoI guess its only for php applications. Right?
