Why people consider alternatives to Flightcontrol

Flightcontrol is a Platform as a Service (PaaS) that simplifies deploying applications to your own AWS account. It acts as a 'devops team' by automating infrastructure provisioning, CI/CD, and deployments for various service types…

Teams most often switch away when one of these starts to bite:

Pricing at scale as usage or premium tiers add up.
Missing integrations with the rest of your stack.
Performance or scale limits as your needs grow.
A specific feature gap you have hit in hosting & deployment.

The 7 alternatives below cover the same core job (hosting & deployment) with different trade-offs.
