Deploy any app to any cloud with a single command. Take your app from Docker Compose to a secure and scalable deployment on AWS / GCP / DigitalOcean in minutes.
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.

Did you know that you can tell #Defang that a service requires a GPU?

```
gpu-service:
deploy:
resources:
reservations:
devices:
- capabilities: ["gpu"]
```

Whether you're deploying to AWS or GCP, we'll make sure to properly configure your service.

Wish you could compare cloud costs for AWS vs GCP without setting up billing? Just run `defang estimate` and review a cost estimate for your application across providers and deployment modes: affordable, balanced, high availability.

Have you tried the #docker model runner? It's a nice way to download LLMs, run them in a #DockerCompose app, directly integrated with the rest of your code.

Also, did you know Defang will deploy your app to #AWS or #GCP, replacing the local models with #Bedrock or #Vertex?

Hey AI devs. What's your architecture? Do you use queues to distribute long running tool calls? How do you bring humans in the loop? #ai #software #programming

When you build on top of LLMs, do you use a framework like #langchain or #crewai? Or do you interact with the APIs directly? Why?

What's your fav #vscodeextension ?
Ours is the Defang extension of course 😁 It makes it easy to ask your coding agent to deploy to your #cloud account (AWS, GCP) including integrations with Bedrock and Vertex. It generates a compose files and then our rule-based system sets up infra you can trust.

Should you deploy FastAPI on Heroku or in a cloud account? Our latest write‑up compares the convenience of Heroku’s Procfile setup with the control you get deploying via Defang into your own AWS/GCP account. How do you weigh convenience vs. ownership? #FastAPI #CloudInfrastructure #Heroku #AWS #GCP
FastAPI deployment Heroku vs AWS / GCP with Defang
Defang brings Heroku’s simplicity to your own cloud: deploy FastAPI apps to AWS or GCP with a single command using your existing Docker Compose. You keep full ownership, pay raw cloud costs, and stay portable. No platform lock-in, same Heroku-style workflow.
