Missing or broken Dockerfiles are a common deployment failure. Defang avoids this by using Railpack to build images automatically for Node, Python, Go, Java, Ruby, Rust, PHP, Elixir, and static sites.
Just bring your app and a Compose file.

Defang keeps networking familiar: public services use load balancers, private services run in isolated subnets, and internal DNS handles service-to-service calls.
It’s the Compose networking model applied securely and at scale in your cloud.

Defang has three deployment modes:
Affordable for dev,
Balanced for staging,
High Availability for production.
Each mode adjusts compute, logs, networking, and storage so you only pay for what you need at each stage.

Did you know Defang's cost estimation isn’t just a ballpark number. It breaks down resources like load balancers, NAT gateways, managed databases, vCPUs, and storage per service defined in your Compose file. See the real cost of scaling up or down, and optimize your stack for value.

I'm a big fan of #kubernetes in many ways. I started using it in 2019 and quickly became a fan (kinda): I was able to run my containers across multiple nodes and scale out. But it was overkill for what I was doing, and always required building a bunch of extra tooling to get the behaviour I needed.
Some people see #Kubernetes as *the* way to deploy #containers to the cloud. But it's big, complex, and not as portable as it seems.
Kubernetes has it's place, but at #Defang we're building something for the rest of us. For #devs who want simplicity, portability, and a whole lot more.

A Different Way to Think About Deploying Containers to the Cloud
If youre app is built with containers, maybe you should rethink your deployment strategy. Why deal with all the Kubernetes overhead when Defang gives you simpler, leaner deployments to your cloud's native container runtime.
