It would be great if you could let everyone know (here, or as a later Tell HN) which alternatives you're considering. People have chimed in with suggestions before (Fly, Render, etc.) but it always helps to have additional thoughts on this, especially from someone running a high traffic'ed site. Thanks!
We've been tracking these threads lately and there are so many interesting companies in the space like those mentioned above. I'm the cofounder of a new company called Coherence, that we think creates a new direction and offers a better platform for the next leap forward. Unlike the modern PaaS solutions we're closing the loop from dev to prod offering cloud IDE's, dev environments, branch previews, and deployments — all in one integrated dashboard.

Lu with Massdriver (YC W22) here. Our public launch is June 29th but we'd love to get some feedback from the community before then. If you sign up at massdriver.cloud we can push you through so you can set up a POC.
