About Porter
Porter is a platform as a service that deploys applications into the cloud account you already own. It works with AWS, Google Cloud and Azure.
What it does
Porter connects to your cloud account, sets up a production-ready cluster, and then builds and deploys apps from a Git repository or a Docker image. Each pull request can get its own preview environment. The platform also manages networking, monitoring, load balancing and cluster version upgrades, so your team spends less time on infrastructure.
Key features
- Deploy from Git repos or Docker images
- Preview environments for each pull request
- Autoscaling on usage or custom metrics
- Provision clusters in your own cloud account
- SOC 2 and HIPAA compliance options
Who it's for
Startups and small engineering teams that want to run production services without hiring a full DevOps team. It also suits companies that need to deploy workloads into a customer's own cloud account.
Pricing and good to know
Porter charges for the resources you run, and your cloud provider bills you separately for the underlying infrastructure. Estimate your usage before you scale up, and check the pricing page for current rates. Your data stays inside the cloud account you connect, which is useful for teams with strict data rules.
