DeployCrate

DeployCrate is a managed control plane that connects to your cloud accounts, provisions hardened servers, and handles deployments, logs, monitoring, and maintenance. It solves the problem of managing raw VPS infrastructure by automating repetitive operational tasks. It targets developers, ops, and IT teams at startups and small to mid-sized companies that want the simplicity of a PaaS without the high cost. It is positioned as a cheaper alternative to platforms like Render, with flat-rate pricing and no vendor lock-in, as servers run in your own cloud account.
