Heroku used to be the gold standard Platform as a Service but it has PaaSed on. Customers choose Engine Yard for a fully managed service with outstanding support. You get best in class performance, expertise across languages and transparent pricing with no sticker shock as you scale
Experience better performance and scalability.
Every customer gets a dedicated AWS account and a set of VPCs in a private fully configured Kubernetes cluster. All your data is completely isolated from the public internet for safety and security. You also have no noisy neighbour issues with dedicated infrastructure resulting in improved application performance
The platform supports auto scaling by default. This can be configured based on business requirements. Each container can scale independently in a matter of milliseconds to handle bursts of traffic with ease. This ensures that you don’t have to provision excess capacity and reduces your AWS infrastructure costs
Engine Yard supports auto scalling that is configured by your business requirements, avoiding excess provisioning and reducing costs, all with our outstanding support.

Our platform also configures all security groups and firewalls to minimize exposure
Kubernetes is the undisputed leader in container orchestration platforms. However, it is insanely complicated. Operating and tuning a Kubernetes cluster takes a lot of your team’s time away from development. That’s why customers who want to adopt Kubernetes choose a managed Kubernetes service like Engine Yard
One of the challenges customers face with Heroku is the steep increase in pricing as they scale up. Our pricing is simple and scales linearly with usage. Compliance is baked into the platform at no additional cost. Standard support is included with most plans. Premium support is available at an extra charge. Learn More
A paradigm shift is happening in infrastructure as the price performance boost you get from X86 processors is flattening out.

CTO
“I’m so grateful we had Engine Yard during those times,” “It was the first major multi-retailer sale event where we’ve had no worries about running at sufficient scale. There was no backlog of processing and all orders were processed promptly. We got a lot of really nice comments from customers on how fast the platform was. It was extraordinary for us — brilliant.”
Chief Technical Officer Co-Founder
“We rely on Engine Yard to deliver a flexible, reliable platform with a rock-solid stack, so we don’t have to invest in building internal resources and hiring an ops team. Even with our customized configurations, Engine Yard makes it easy to deploy – we just click a button. We go from development to staging to production with all of our focus on building a great product.”
Director Technical Operations
“We didn’t have a dedicated DevOps team at the start, so we chose Engine Yard to run our highly scalable help desk application. This allowed us to focus on building new features, and we released our pre-beta software in three months – without Engine Yard, it would have taken at least double that time. Engine Yard support and professional services are exceptional. They are quick to respond and provide their expertise on everything from stack updates to database support and chef recipes.”
Principal Architect
“Engine Yard is a great partner for running our infrastructure. We are a really small team of engineers, yet we have the same kind of infrastructure as a company with excellent resources. With Engine Yard, we get deployment, monitoring, recovery, and scaling. Essentially, they are our extended DevOps team.”
