Re:AWS vs. DigitalOcean – A Performance Comparison on Wednesday April 12, 2017 @11:46AM (#14098826)
From personal experience:

- AWS seems to have more stability issues than Digital Ocean and their status page doesn't seem to reflect reality.

- AWS support is a total black hole. Digital Ocean is pretty responsive.

- Digital Ocean's UI is miles ahead of AWS's

- AWS Analysis Paralysis - too many options, hard to understand the differences.

Re:Effectively Deploy Elixir Apps with Nanobox on Wednesday March 08, 2017 @02:17PM (#13822790)
Nanobox supports multiple languages and we're working on rolling out support for more. Elixir is one we're really excited about. There isn't really any good, standardized support for Elixir deployments, but Nanobox is a huge step in that direction.
Re:Easily Deploy Any Web Application to AWS, DO, etc. With Docker and ... on Wednesday February 22, 2017 @01:45PM (#13708000)
It's definitely a tricky balance. Ultimately there's best practices to follow, and there's no need to manually implement best practices in every project if you can automate it. The balance is between time-saved vs absolute control.

Nanobox tries to strike the balance between saving time and giving devs ways to hook into and control the dev-to-production lifecycle.

Core Nanobox team member here. A brief history of how Nanobox came about. We are a small team of developers who were doing a lot of medium to large-ish web applications and found ourselves having to do the same, tedious tasks over and over when deploying apps to production servers. So we built Nanobox to automate the process, save us time, and preserve our sanity.
