Stacktape

Platform · PaaS

Stacktape turns one configuration into an application stack in the customer’s AWS account. A deployment can combine functions, containers, databases, queues, storage, and networking. Stacktape manages the configuration workflow while AWS remains the infrastructure and billing boundary. Stacktape CI can create preview stages in the customer’s AWS account, and its container web services support rolling or blue/green zero-downtime strategies when health checks, capacity, and application compatibility allow it. The AllAtOnce strategy is excluded, and preview infrastructure still incurs AWS charges.

Best for

AWS teams that want a PaaS-like deployment workflow while keeping application infrastructure in their own account and available through normal AWS services.

Watch out for

AWS remains the infrastructure and billing boundary. Stacktape adds its own platform fee, while AWS quotas, security boundaries, service behavior, and failures remain customer responsibilities.
