👋 Hello ProductHunt and thank you @hnshah for hunting us! I’m the Founder and CEO of CTO.ai & our awesome team has been working day and night to get this new release out. It’s lightyears beyond our last platform release & includes everything you need to easily build and release Cloud Native applications in a serverless fashion. The CTO.ai Kubernetes PaaS is a completely reimagined serverless platform on top of k8s that is designed for fast moving development teams who want focus on delivering applications, not managing their delivery operations. CTO.ai allows your team to: 🚀 Instantly deploy your Cloud Native microservices / web applications to a managed k8s. 📭 Setup custom domains and SSL easily using our managed Service Gateway. 🪜 Automate multi-step workflows such as build, test & release of any of your CI/CD processes. ✋ Combine GitOps with ChatOps to create powerful human in the loop workflow automation. 💪 Measure & manage all of your software delivery, without every hiring full time DevOps. 🎉 Easily trigger workflows across the entire system to anyone on your team, directly via !Slack We also support for your favorite frameworks out of the box: Fastify, !Bolt, Express, !FeathersJS, Next, Vue, React, and many more to come. Let us know in the comments what frameworks you’d like to see next and we'll open source them soon. Our goal is to make Cloud Native serverless simple, scalable & data-driven for startups but also for enterprise teams too. Teams who already have a Kubernetes cluster, can contact us about deploying our Service Mesh which allows us to act as a control plane and data plane for deploying workflows into your private k8s cluster. Just head over to CTO.ai to see all of the features and get instant access to start deploying your Cloud Native Apps on our Public k8s Cloud. You can also read more on our blog. We are on a mission to help you workflow smarter, not harder on top of Kubernetes. It’s better to ship together, KC

How does this compare with Heroku?

@katie_jameson Hey Katie, similar in spirit (both are PaaS), but also quite different in implementation. We've gone to great lengths to build what we consider a great developer experience for Kubernetes, which like other PaaS, simplifies the process of managing apps for developers. We kept hearing from customers that they wanted to move away from PaaS like Heroku + Netlify because it was too expensive as they grew but the jump to Kubernetes meant they had to absorb a lot of complexity which often resulted in hiring, retraining and retooling on top of having to give up the ease of use of their PaaS. We built CTO.ai to address both sides of this coin equally. Teams can easily get started deploying to our managed cloud and then move to their own private k8s as they grow. This means they get the simple and intuitive PaaS experience for their developers but also have the benefit of k8s being portable, so they can eventually setup their own private clusters on AWS, GCP and Azure to benefit from the lower prices of commodity infrastructure at major cloud providers, as they scale.
