Netlify has established itself as a popular platform for Jamstack deployments, appealing to individual developers and small teams seeking straightforward workflows for static sites and basic web applications.

However, projects with greater complexity—those requiring database integration, background processing, file storage, or advanced features—exceed Netlify's typical scope. Deployment.io addresses this gap by providing AWS's full capabilities while maintaining the simplicity associated with platforms like Netlify.

1. Expanded Application Support

Unlike Netlify's focus on static sites and serverless functions, Deployment.io handles diverse application types, from static sites to sophisticated web applications, deployed directly to your chosen cloud provider.

2. Development Environment Scalability

Teams can provision temporary development and testing environments in AWS. As teams expand, infrastructure automatically scales to accommodate multiple concurrent feature development and issue resolution efforts.

3. Infrastructure Independence

Deployment.io eliminates vendor dependency by deploying applications to user-owned AWS accounts, preventing migration difficulties and preserving operational flexibility as requirements change.

4. Data Sovereignty

The proprietary runner application keeps code within user environments rather than external servers. This approach prioritizes organizational control over data handling and security protocols. The company has open-sourced this runner application to demonstrate commitment to transparency.

5. Cost Management

Users leverage AWS's pricing structure, utilize available credits, and manage resource consumption without unexpected expenses. The platform allows monitoring and deletion of temporary development environments.

Deployment.io is an alternative for organizations outgrowing Netlify's constraints. If you're ready to make the switch, our team is ready to guide you through the process, ensuring a seamless transition.
