Deployment platform: reviews, statistics and news
Platforms a developer pushes an app to from a git repository, a CLI or a container, which then build, host, scale and serve it at a live address. Each one will be given the same three apps to deploy and tested on time to a live URL, build and framework support, databases, scaling and uptime, response times around the world, domains, previews and rollbacks, logs and what a standard app costs.
Every deployment platform I follow
Every deployment platform I follow, in alphabetical order. None has been through my bench yet: each one is queued for the ten tests, and the first reviews appear here as they are finished. The statistics measure 43 of them each month. 16 more listed tools are not measured here: 1 is measured in the category of its main product, 3 sit on shared domains whose traffic is not their own, 10 live on domains whose traffic is mostly another product and 2 fall outside this category's definition. Each of those is marked on its card.
