Massdriver - Enterprise

What do you like best about the product?

Massdriver dramatically simplified our infrastructure management and deployment workflows. Its intuitive visual interface, seamless Kubernetes integration, and zero-downtime deployments allowed us to scale confidently and reduce manual configurations. What used to take us weeks or months — especially around setting up microservices and environments — now takes just a few days. The platform empowered our team to focus more on our product and less on DevOps.

What do you dislike about the product?

While the core functionality is excellent, we initially struggled with setting up multiple front-end interfaces and assigning custom domains to each service. We had to manually edit ingress YAML files, which was manageable with help from the Massdriver team — but a built-in UI or module for multi-domain setups would make the platform even more powerful.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Massdriver helped us streamline our infrastructure setup after a difficult migration from AWS to Azure. Setting up Kubernetes clusters, CI/CD pipelines, and managing multiple microservices was initially slow and error-prone. Massdriver automated much of this, reducing setup time from weeks to days. It also allowed us to support multi-region expansion and scale our platform more easily for enterprise clients.

What do you like best about the product?

The employees of massdriver are incredibly attentive and helpful. Setting up all these resources manually with terraform can be incredibly time consuming so to be able to offload some of that is awesome, and they also do a great job of giving base templates.

What do you dislike about the product?

Given that it's a new product, there's still some basic difficulties in setup, without a clear walkthrough, but they do an incredible hands-on introduction which is more effective than any guide.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Massdriver automates parts of our devops process, making it easy to spin up and down deployments of cloud infrastructure with one click.

What do you like best about the product?

Connecting and setting up an entire cloud deployment without having to manually configure everything.
Also makes the system design easy to manage and understand, as it is visualized and created like a canvas.
Amazing team that is very adamant about providing support.

What do you dislike about the product?

Adds some overhead costs, but worth it for us.

Cloud Deployment

What do you like best about the product?

Embarking on our startup journey, we were faced with the daunting challenge of allocating scarce resources between R&D for our MVP and setting up infrastructure. This is where Massdriver became our beacon. My preference has always been towards handcrafting pipelines in DevOps, yet Massdriver has been a transformative experience. It's remarkable to see such a robust foundational framework in a platform that's still in its early stages. The open-source modules model stands out, promising flexibility and growth. The tech team has been nothing short of a revelation. Their responsiveness and commitment go beyond just offering a tool—they've truly become our partners. With an extensive feature set and their keenness to adapt to unique use-cases, they've seamlessly integrated with our vision. Their roadmap, which aligns so well with ours, is a testament to their foresight.

What do you dislike about the product?

While Massdriver is a robust platform, one minor hiccup is the lack of widespread information and ready-made solutions available on popular forums like StackOverflow. This means you can't always rely on a quick Google search for solutions. However, this minor drawback is more than compensated for by their support chat in the Slack workspace. The direct access to Massdriver engineers is invaluable. In fact, I've even contributed a module myself, and they're open to and appreciative of contributions from everyone.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Massdriver seamlessly bridges the divide between the precision of hand-crafted DevOps and the efficiency of automation. Amidst the initial challenges of our startup, Massdriver streamlined our infrastructure process, allowing us to prioritize our MVP's R&D. Their proactive approach to user feedback, coupled with the open-source nature of the platform, ensures it remains an essential tool in our DevOps arsenal.

What do you like best about the product?

Massdriver is incredibly easy to use, and makes best practices for operations approachable even for novices. Despite this, it also provides immense power to more advanced users.

What do you dislike about the product?

Nothing; it's still a fairly new product, and there are features I would like them to develop, but the offering as-is is more than enough.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Managing operational infrastructure is always a challenging endeavor with a small team, but Massdriver makes it easy. Infrastructure and applications can be deployed easily using their graphic interface, and their suite of bundles and packages are a dream come true for anyone who values DRY principles.
