Extremely happy with Northflank
What do you like best about the product?
Northflank just makes it easy to deploy & manage the various parts of a modern web application. The ability to spin up any kind of service just by pointing at a Docker image allows us to rapidly evolve and scale our applications without limitations.
The thoughtful UX of the web dashboard takes away the complexity of having to manage everything - they have clearly thought hard about how to make developers' lives easier.
And whenever I run into something I can't handle myself, I get very rapid support from the Northflank team.

What do you dislike about the product?
The main tradeoff with a platform like Northflank as compared to going with a VPS or dedicated server is that you'll pay more for the equivalent amount of resources. This is fair in my opinion - with Northflank you get so many features for the price, which if you wanted to replicate on a VPS would mean many, many hours of setup and maintenance assuming you even have the expertise to do so (I don't).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are hosting our ecommerce application with Northflank, and the main problems it solves are: deployment - we use a git-based workflow which works great with Northflank - just push a commit and let it run through the CI/CD pipeline and then get deployed with zero downtime. We also use many auxiliary services like Redis, Clickhouse and other pieces of infrastructure. Many of these are natively supported by Northflank, and the rest are just a matter of pointing to a Docker image and a few minutes later the service is up and running.
The logging & monitoring is also very useful - we integrated with Slack so we get notifications when resource usage goes over certain limits, allowing us to avoid nasty surprises and be pro-active in keeping our infrastruture working correctly.
