{"id":76674,"title":"Flightcontrol - Developer-first AWS infrastructure","tagline":"Use the best AWS services without tedious infra work","body":"AWS has been too intimidating and tedious, causing teams to settle for a simplistic black-box PaaS or hiring DevOps too early. But no more! 🙅🏼\n\nOur **Developer-first AWS infrastructure** enables you to use the best AWS services without manual infra work. In fact, you might even call it delightful 😍\n\n![](https://www.flightcontrol.dev/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.datocms-assets.com%2F98758%2F1699399752-browser-min.png%3Ffit%3Dcrop%26q%3D90\u0026w=3840\u0026q=75)\n\n**Simple setup**\n\n1️⃣ Connect your GitHub \u0026 AWS accounts in 1-click\\\n2️⃣ Zero config or customize to your heart’s content\\\n3️⃣ Relax while we deploy to your AWS\\\n4️⃣ Never worry about hitting the technical or cost limits of black box PaaS\n\n**Deploy every language, globally**\n\n✅ Servers, background workers, static sites, databases, redis. Coming: cron, Lambda and more\\\n✅ Every language and framework\\\n✅ Use all 32 AWS regions. Multi-region deploys are in early access\n\n**A few years ago** I was building an app that should have been using native AWS services. I tried, but it was too hard. So I ended up on Vercel with a Frankenstein collection of third-party services. It worked ok until I accidentally racked up a $6,000 bill 😬 That was my fault, but the rickety setup of callbacks and lambda chains made it much easier to fail.\n\nSo I thought, why can’t I have a great developer experience on my own AWS account?! Then I met [**@Mina Abadir**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mabadir/) who has been using AWS since S3 \u0026 EC2 were all they had. He had the same vision of a better cloud, so we joined forces and the rest is history!\n\n**You can now easily deploy and manage AWS services without having to use AWS console or CLI.** The all-new dashboard has runtime logs, metrics, and even live AWS cost reporting.\n\n![](https://bookface.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post\u0026id=76674\u0026key=user_uploads/280296/fb138ef1-3f3a-476b-8b35-ed751e7a35cd)\n\n2\\.0 barely scratches our vision.
