Cloud 66 vs Cycloid

Cloud 66 deploys and manages applications on cloud infrastructure customers provide, including major providers, hybrid environments, and their own servers. It supports Rails or Sinatra apps, Docker containers on Kubernetes, and static sites built with Jekyll, Hugo, or Gatsby. Deployment options include zero-downtime, blue/green, and canary deployments, plus previews for branches, tags, and pull requests. Hosted Docker build servers and autoscaling based on CPU, memory, queue backlog, and Nginx response time are available. Managed databases can include off-site backups, replication, and monitoring; the platform also provides server monitoring, alerts, logs, and metrics. Listed cloud providers include AWS, DigitalOcean, Google Compute Engine, Hetzner Cloud, Latitude.sh, Linode, OVHcloud, Microsoft Azure, and Vultr. Cloud 66 says it does not store customer code or data on its servers. Customers pay their cloud provider directly for server costs. The Free plan is free for up to one server, one static site, and five deployments per 24 hours. Developer is $23 a month and supports up to two servers and two static sites.

Cycloid is an internal developer portal and platform for infrastructure self-service, orchestration, and governance. Developers can request and deploy infrastructure through Blueprints and Forms, using standardized workflows involving Terraform, Ansible, Helm, and Argo CD. Governance features include policy checks, role-based access controls, approvals, and audit trails. Teams can connect tools such as Sentry, SonarQube, Notion, Git, and cloud providers through plugins, and coordinate CI/CD workflows with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, or Cycloid's Native Runner. Cloud Cost Management lists AWS, GCP, and Azure, with other providers available for integration if needed. Deployment options include SaaS, dedicated SaaS, self-hosted, and hybrid; air-gapped operation is described for self-hosted deployments. Cycloid says its API is documented in Swagger, and its CLI documentation lists GNU/Linux, macOS, and Windows. A free SaaS plan covers up to five users and one workspace. The listed Advanced plan is $45 a month billed annually; pricing notes give a starting point of $29/user/mo annually. Infra Import is beta and excluded from the standard support SLA.
