Looking for PaaS/cloud recommendations f
Me and another founder are building a B2B SaaS aimed at European and UK customers.
Of the two founders, I’m the techy one. The other founder is the product owner, has experience in the industry and handles sales, so I’m currently the only person doing the technical work, including development and infrastructure.
Because the software needs to have 99.99% availability, the technical requirements leave us with relatively few options in terms of providers.
Since I’m the only person doing the tech, my thinking was to use a PaaS for the first customers rather than spending a lot of time managing infrastructure ourselves.
At the moment, I have Scalingo, Clever Cloud and Northflank on my list. There don’t seem to be many reviews or much discussion about them, so I was wondering if anyone here has used them. If you have, what was your experience?
I’ve also looked at providers like Hetzner, OVHcloud and Scaleway, where managing more of the infrastructure ourselves is an option. I was shocked by the amount of the negative reviews in Trustpilot.
So:
- Has anyone here used Scalingo, Clever Cloud or Northflank?
- How reliable have they been for production workloads?
- Are there any other PaaS or cloud providers you would recommend?
- Has anyone here run a B2B SaaS with high availability requirements in Europe?
