Porter brings the magical experience of deploying an application with just a few clicks into your own AWS or GCP account. Porter will manage the underlying infrastructure for you - simply point at your repo and Porter will handle the rest, from building your application to autoscaling it.

Porter deploys applications into your own AWS account with just a few clicks. Get started on Porter just as easily as you would on a traditional PaaS, with a peace of mind that you can customize your infrastructure as you scale.

Many startups get started on a PaaS to ship their MVP quickly without wasting time on infrastructure (as all startups should). However, most of these companies end up "graduating" off the PaaS and move to their own infrastructure on AWS or GCP for more flexibility as they scale. Porter allows you to get started just as easily as you would on a traditional PaaS, with a peace of mind that you can customize the underlying infrastructure as you scale. Under the hood, Porter runs a battle-tested Kubernetes cluster with the same kind of architecture that growth-stage companies usually build out with a team of infra engineers, allowing startups to scale effortlessly. We first launched Porter on PH almost 2 years ago. We got a lot of interest from our initial launch, but after a few months quickly realized that we didn’t have the resources to properly manage so many Kubernetes clusters that are distributed across different cloud accounts at scale. This led us to the difficult decision of shutting down our self-serve function and focusing on larger growth-stage companies who we thought actually warrants the scalability of something like Kubernetes. This strategy worked well - we incrementally moved upmarket, quickly grew our revenue, and even onboarded a few public companies. After a year since the initial launch, however, something fascinating started to happen; some of the seed stage companies we’ve onboarded in the beginning started to reach true scale on Porter (many of which also did their initial launches on PH!). For example, Writesonic (https://www.producthunt.com/prod...), who first started on Porter during their YC batch, now runs a Kubernetes cluster with 1.5 Terabytes of RAM without a single full-time infra engineer. Memberstack (https://www.producthunt.com/prod...) now routinely handles more than a million requests a day processing >$5M in payments every month. The list goes on. Today we are re-launching Porter as we open it back up so that anyone can try it out on their own. After two years of building and growing our team, we are now in a much better position to support a self-serve motion and would love to invite the next generation of makers to get started on Porter and scale to new levels as they grow, just like Writesonic and Memberstack have. Along with the launch, we're also offering Porter for free for a year to select companies. If you are interested, please fill out the form here: https://gcpjnf9adme.typeform.com.... We'll select 10 companies for this deal!

Congrats on the relaunch! We've been working with Porter since the beginning, they've been great!

We've been Porter customers for about a year and it's been a great place to run our apps' environments. Working with Porter really helped us make the transition from Heroku -> AWS much smoother and lower-stress than it would have otherwise been with minimal disruption to our engineers' workflows or to our production environment itself. Porter's preview environments for PRs are fantastic. Losing nice high-parity preview environments for our feature branches was one of the things I was most stressed about losing when we decided to move on from Heroku.

Great platform to run our product.

Porter is ridiculously easy to use and has made it really easy to launch and iterate so quickly. They integrate really well into our CI/CD and we don't have to worry about Terraform.
