We have been using Control Plane for four years and have seen it grow and evolve quite a bit during that time. The first thing that stands out is their support. Whenever we have had an issue, they have been very quick to respond and help us get it resolved. We also enjoy the cost savings we get whether using a single cloud provider or multiple cloud providers. Their Cloud Wormhole technology has also been very useful for us. It allows us to securely access databases and other resources across one or more cloud providers without having to expose those resources publicly.

The platform provides the flexibility and resilience of Kubernetes with ease of management via the console, as well as unprecedented visibility into cost, usage, performance and resilience. The support team are response and engage quickly, and are very willing to dive into the technical detail, even going so far as to assist with updates to automations. The platform provides several templates for hosting well know platforms including Postgres, Kafka, MongoDb, etc. Connecting these services in a secured and structured way is well organized and boils down to configuration and automation with helm charts. The pricing of services and usage is well understood and reasonable, and configuring services according to budget is very easy to manage and observe. We have tested some of the AI MCP capabilities, but not extensively at this stage, as we would like to maintain control while we establish a controlled environment.

I do enjoy the Terraform integration with Control Plane, as it provides direct infrastructure as code integration, which is the reason I chose it over competitors like Railway. I also appreciate the MCP for debugging stuff. Additionally, the initial setup was extremely easy, making the onboarding process smooth.
