The AWS alternative that slashes costs by 88% and eliminates DevOps overhead

AWS offers unmatched flexibility, but running applications there requires deep infrastructure knowledge, complex configuration, and ongoing DevOps work. Sevalla takes a different approach by letting teams deploy and scale production applications without managing infrastructure, clusters, or dozens of cloud services.

AWS
Time to first deploy
Deploy applications in minutes from Git or DockerInitial setup typically takes hours or days across multiple services
New project creation
Fully automated project creation with no infrastructure setup requiredManual configuration of networking, compute, permissions, and services
Learning curve
Designed to be productive quickly without deep infrastructure knowledgeRequires weeks (if not months) to get familiar with just the basics of AWS and its huge ecosystem
AI agent & MCP support
Native MCP server. Connect Claude Code, Cursor, or any coding agent directly to manage infrastructure via OAuthNo native MCP for platform management
CI/CD pipelines
Built-in pipelines, preview environments, and promotion workflowsCI/CD requires setting up and maintaining separate services or tooling
Operational overhead
Platform abstracts infrastructure management (NoOps)Teams are responsible for infrastructure design and operations
Security updates & patching
Platform-level security updates are handled automaticallyShared responsibility model; patching and hardening often customer-managed
Regulatory compliance
Compliance baked into the platform (SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR)Compliance depends on correct configuration and ongoing controls
Pricing transparency
Simple usage-based pricing with predictable unitsComplex pricing across services, regions, and data transfer paths
Internal networking costs
Free internal traffic between servicesData transfer costs may apply between services and availability zones
Scaling model
Scale services up or down per application with minimal configurationScaling is powerful but requires architectural planning
Developer experience
Git-based workflows focused on shipping codeRequires DevOps expertise and ongoing infrastructure management

Discover why Sevalla is a great AWS alternative

AI-native infrastructure

Connect Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible agent directly to Sevalla and let your AI handle deployments, database provisioning, and infrastructure management.

NoOps by default

Sevalla abstracts away infrastructure management, security patching, and scaling so teams can focus on application code rather than DevOps overhead.

Built-in CI/CD and preview environments

Deploy directly from Git or Docker with native pipelines, preview environments for every pull request, and promotion between environments without rebuilding.

Predictable transparent pricing

Pay only for what you use with clear usage-based pricing, without navigating multiple services, hidden data transfer costs, or complex billing models.

“With Sevalla, you no longer need to worry about uptime or managing infrastructure — it simply works. If I were to start a new project today, I would choose Sevalla from the very beginning.”
