Serverless infrastructure without all the yaml. Built with best practices to accelerate your development cycle.
No cold containers
Even free tier - apps do not have to sleep, wake up, spin up or recycle. All front-ends and back-ends are ready on-demand, immediately and at all times.
Un-overload-able
Containers make traffic a constant concern because resources are shared across concurrent requests. On Cyclic, serverless functions are allocated to each individual request on demand, making it possible for your apps to hyper scale.
Cyclic handles each separate http request with a 1GB serverless function. For a single request, this is about ~2x cpu/memory compared to popular container platforms. In a 10 concurrent request scenario, this comparison results in ~200x or 100GB RAM available system compute - on free tier!
Worldwide
Apps can be launched around the world to make sure your users see the least latency. Apps can also be launched across the world to minimize downtime with default active-active failover strategy.
Right-to-Repair
We are developers here, sometimes we want to open the box and change everything around. You are welcome to open the hood, poke around or take your apps apart. When apps grow up, take them with you, integrate them into legacy code.
Given a role, Cyclic can deploy and manage apps in your own AWS account. This allows you to have total and complete control over your app's infrastructure. Self hosting gives the root access to integrate, customize and set your own limits.
CI/CD
A pipeline is built into every app and integrated with GitHub. Changes are live in a few seconds with every git push. Each deployment is registered, along with build/deploy logs pointing to the specific git change set. You will know exactly what changes went out and when.
Comments and Reviews
I like Cyclic because it is so fast to get a new service up and running. It has all the features I expect in a full stack javascript app hosting platform. I'm also biased - I'm one of the makers :)
