Porter
The PaaS for Kubernetes.
Overview
Porter is a Kubernetes-powered PaaS that you can run in your own cloud. It gives you the Heroku-like experience of deploying applications with a single click, but with the power and flexibility of Kubernetes. With Porter, you can deploy your applications from a Git repository or a Docker image, and Porter will handle the rest, from building and deploying your application to managing its infrastructure.
✨ Key Features
- Kubernetes-powered PaaS
- Runs in your own cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure)
- One-click application deployment
- Marketplace of add-ons
- Autoscaling and high availability
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Runs in your own cloud, giving you more control and security
- Open-source and extensible
- Provides a Heroku-like experience on top of Kubernetes
Unique Value: Porter gives you the best of both worlds: the simplicity of a PaaS and the power and control of Kubernetes, all running in your own cloud.
🎯 Use Cases (5)
✅ Best For
- Deploying a web application from a Git repository with a single click

- Scaling an application automatically based on traffic
💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- Teams that are not using Kubernetes
- Organizations that do not want to manage their own cloud infrastructure
🏆 Alternatives
Compared to hosted PaaS platforms like Heroku, Porter gives you more control and security by running in your own cloud. Compared to managing your own Kubernetes cluster, Porter is much easier and more productive for developers.
