Overview
The best tool depends on whether you want managed hosting, self-hosted control, Kubernetes-scale orchestration, or a simple app dashboard on one VPS. Better-PaaS belongs in the lightweight self-hosted category.
How to choose
For frontend, full-stack, and self-hosted deployment options, judge tools by hosting model, maintenance burden, deployment workflow, database support, rollback path, pricing, and how much infrastructure control you need.
Where Better-PaaS fits
Better-PaaS is a good fit when you want Git deploys, Docker containers, automatic HTTPS, databases, logs, and backups on infrastructure you own. It is not trying to replace multi-node Kubernetes or a fully managed cloud platform.
