Hey, I'm a co-founder of Flynn.
Flynn is entirely open source and BSD-licensed (https://github.com/flynn/flynn https://github.com/flynn/flynn). You can run Flynn on any infrastructure without paying us anything.
The price you reference is for our Managed Flynn product, where we act as your ops team, operating a Flynn cluster for you and providing hands-on support for your apps and databases in production.
- bduerst 10y agoDo you have a comparison chart or something lining Flynn up against Azure/Heroku/Google App Engine somewhere? I know it's probably not as feature-complete as those other PaaS's, but it would be great to get it at a glance.
- Titanous 10y agoThe space is too complex to do a chart, as a bunch of details are not directly comparable. Many people who choose Flynn are not directly comparing us to hosted platforms, as they want more control over their infrastructure (where they run it, lock-in avoidance, etc). As far as individual features go, we are closest to Heroku (and maintain buildpack/runtime compatibility). However there are differences including our support for other databases (MySQL and MongoDB in addition to Postgres and Redis) and many other smaller things like HTTP/2 support.
