If rolling your own is your style, then OpenShift is your platform to do it on.
100% open source, Red Hat’s OpenShift comes with a very big manual of course, but that’s what makes it complete and a true Red Hat product. First launched in 2011, OpenShift Container Platform’s has been a core component of OpenStack for years.
OpenShift packs a punch, but comes at the cost of having to maintain and own your hardware before you can really start.
Formerly known as ZEIT, Vercel has a lot to offer in the serverless movement.
ZEIT was one of the pioneering companies at the time pushing Serverless technology. ZEIT’s first focus was to ease deployments, which resulted in the creation of Next.js.
Some of Vercel’s customers include AirBnB, Auth0, GitHub and the Washington Post.
Vercel announced a whopping $21M Series A funding early 2020.
