Build your app rapidly for multi cloud deployment. Why choose AppScale? Our platform combines the benefits of the serverless development model with the application portability to deploy anywhere. Public cloud platforms like AWS Lambda, Google App Engine, and Heroku make development easy but lock you into their cloud. Open source platforms like Cloud Foundry and OpenShift offer application portability with high-level APIs across multiple infrastructures but are not easy to operate. Platforms like Kubernetes and Nomad also provide application portability, but force developers to interact with the complications of lower-level, server-centric abstractions. Only AppScale delivers a platform where development, deployment, and operations are all made easy. ## AppScale Reviews ### 1.
