Choosing well
Check free plans and starting prices
A free plan can help you evaluate a service before paying. A free trial offers a separate way to test it for a limited period, so check which option is stated for the tool.
Paid-from figures vary by product and billing period. Compare the listed starting price with the plan details before committing.
Choose a hosting model
Review whether the service is hosted for you or designed for self-hosting. Self-hosted software can require you to provide and maintain the environment.
Web and API access can suit different workflows. Check the listed platform options against how you plan to deploy and manage applications.
Compare Kubernetes and databases
Managed Kubernetes can reduce the work involved in operating a Kubernetes environment. Managed database support may reduce separate database administration.
Use the comparison fields for managed Kubernetes and managed databases to match the platform with your operations needs.
Look at scaling and runtime breadth
Autoscaling can matter when application demand changes. Runtime count indicates how broadly a platform supports application runtimes.
Regions count can help when deployment location matters. Compare these fields with the locations and workloads you plan to serve.
Review support and code access
Support tier shows what level of help is associated with a service. Check this before selecting a platform for work that needs a defined support path.
If you need to read or change the code, check the tool's licence and whether its published details identify it as open source.
