Ask HN: Cloud Run / ECS / App Engine open source alternative, Cloud costs a lot

1 pointsby moabuaboudover 2 years ago
I come from a background where I used bare metal machines, I constantly compare the pricing of bare metal with cloud instances, bare metal providers like contabo, hetzner could be 5-9x cheaper and also have predictable pricing than using huge cloud companies like AWS &#x2F; GCP, Digital Ocean.<p>Although I understand the value from the big clouds when I am using managed services like pub&#x2F;sub and databases, but most of my applications are stateless container images.<p>I tried to self host kubernetes and then set up a load balancer, It was a nightmare and complicated setup.<p>I always wonder if there is an open source alternative to cloud run that you can easily install it in your infrastructure that’s also security &#x2F; privacy compliant. Is it only me, or can you relate to this problem?<p>Cloud Run: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cloud.google.com&#x2F;run

You should look at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;controlplane.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;controlplane.com</a><p>I run the company so I&#x27;m biased. Our customers love the ability to easily deploy apps with minimal cost. Let me know what you think..
