I must say Northflank has exceeded my expectations in several ways. From its reliability to comprehensive features and outstanding customer service, Northflank has proven to be an exceptional choice for hosting our applications. The platform is extremely user-friendly, both the interface and API are easy to use and navigate whether you're a seasoned developer or a beginner, Northflank provides an intuitive experience, allowing us to effortlessly manage our infrastructure. The straightforward design and well-documented resources make it easy to understand the platform's capabilities, enabling users to get up and running quickly, but also allowing for a fairly deep level of customization. One of Northflank's standout features is its comprehensive API and Javascript Client, anything you can do in the UI, you can script using javascript. It was very simple to deprecate all our terraform and helm charts in favor of very simple javascript and json files. It also has support for CI/CD pipelines, which we used to completly replace our dependency on gitlab CI/CD and allowed us to cut our deploy times by more than half. Another aspect that made us love the platform is how easy it is to run experiments. just drop a random docker image from dockerhub in our infra and connect it to our running containers. also, all containers are easily reachable via API/CLI and all addons are reachable via port forwading. We can run some fast paced "trial and error" driven development this way, which is very valuable during development / QA. The platform also allows us to easily experiment with different configurations, environments, scaling options, and deployment strategies. Also important to note that Northflank boasts the best customer service I have encountered in the PaaS industry. Their support team is responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to resolving any issues or answering questions promptly. Having such excellent customer support makes a significant difference when it comes to a hosting provider, and Northflank truly excels in this regard.

The UI is clear and allows a new project to be set up quickly and simply. At the same time there is a lot of flexibility and the option to create more complex set ups if needed. The support from Northflank is also top quality!

Northflank truly does ‘sort out’ the developer experience. It makes it extremely easy to set up new projects and run them through from github into staging and production in a few clicks, and the templating language they have to support both the CLI and the GUI is fantastic for keeping configurations in-sync with code repos. Going into our first steps with Northflank I was of the mindset of ‘how can it be easier than apprunner or beanstalk’ but in reality it's much more powerful as well as significantly more friendly - it allows for granular configuration and monitoring while also providing fantastic tooling and integration potential through their API. You can go as high level as you want and just click buttons in a UI to get started, or build your own workflows and script everything through the API. At all times you have shell access to containers if you need to do some low-level investigations as well.
