Are there good python PaaS that doesn't lock you in? I'm looking for one for our next project (or migrate the current project away from App Engine). I guess I just don't trust Google any more.
- LeafStorm 15y agoI have had an amazing experience with ep.io. The invite list is a mile long, but if you have something that you already know you want to build, you can e-mail the team and they'll let you jump the queue (I think it's more they simply haven't sat down and powered through their list yet than any lack of capacity on their part). The team is very friendly, and they have an incredibly generous free quota as compared to other services (2 GB of files/database, 5 GB/month of bandwidth, and 16 MB of Redis - per app). They use plain old WSGI for the server, Postgres for the database, and they'll install any packages you put in a requirements.txt file, so no lockin. Haven't used Django with it, but so far my experiences with Flask are great.
- kingkilr 15y agoBoth gondor and ep.io are totally lockin free, you write normal Python WSGI code and then write a config file for them to deploy it.
- nzoschke 15y agoIn case you missed the news, Heroku supports Python on the Cedar stack: http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/python http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/python There's even extra love for Django specifically: http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/django http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/django Absolutely no lock in -- Heroku runs any WSGI app with a completely standard Python/virtualenv/pip runtime. It uses Python 2.7.2 currently. And of course, the entire Heroku ecosystem is available, such as PostgreSQL and Redis databases, New Relic analytics, etc.
