“Flightcontrol offers a nice balance between batteries-included and escape hatches that I haven't seen elsewhere. Keep up the good work and let us know if you need anything!”

Spring Studios

Said it before but gonna shout it out again. Flightcontrol is the best PaaS on the market hands down. As a FE Lead who does not want to worry about devops its 100% worth the price.

Wedtech

We've been migrating our Rails app off of heroku and onto AWS via Flightcontrol. The team is AWESOME and have built an excellent product. So good. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Egghead

Nothing else compares for balance between control, flexibility and simplicity. A perfect fit for us. For our multiple locale deployments, 3-5 million monthly page views, use case, the Flightcontrol team were incredibly helpful in getting us setup + ensuring we understood what we had. 10/10

Lineup Publishing

Without FlightControl it would simply not have been possible for our company to begin the migration process to AWS. They simplify so much of the AWS experience which allows primarily frontend developers such as myself to focus more on code and less on infrastructure.

Webgears

I've been using Flightcontrol for a long time, and I've never had a product that's given me better support. They have been so awesome and easy to work with. Being able to deploy things using AWS credits made a lot of things possible for me what weren't on other platforms.

We're using Flightcontrol at Productlane and love it. We moved from Fly.io to Railway to Flightcontrol and finally found the right platform for us that works reliably and didn't have random downtime.

We're using Flightcontrol at Tono Health and it has completely solved our lack of devops expertise. With the new CI build runners, it also cut our build time in HALF compared to GitHub Actions. We're so happy with Flightcontrol

Tono Health

Two large SaaS businesses I’m involved in have all deployed on Flightcontrol for years, and have had no issues. Infra devops cut down to zero! Deploying and scaling infra has been a dream. I can’t imagine why anyone in their sane mind not try Flightcontrol

"Flightcontrol has been a dream, and their level of support has been off the charts. I switched from Lambda to get GPU support and got magnitudes better performance at a fraction of the cost for my AI Video company."

“Flightcontrol is the real deal. I think this is the future for teams that don't have resources for SREs but still want control of their infra.”
