My latest product Apex Logs is now in open beta!

On top of that Apex Logs currently has the most competitive pricing in the industry, up to 10 times more cost-effective than the offerings from Papertrail, Loggly, DataDog, and others at only $0.40/GB (ingested). Let’s take a look!

If you’re unfamiliar with Up, it’s a command-line tool to help you deploy and manage near-infinitely scalable serverless web applications and APIs on AWS. You can deploy as many applications as you need, for the fraction of the price of other providers, with zero operational maintenance or manual scaling efforts.

This is the first official release of Up Pro, which includes a number of improvements over the open-source version for production applications. If you’re unfamiliar with Up, it’s a tool which helps you manage and deploy serverless apis, apps and websites in seconds to your own AWS infrastructure. In short: it’s the easiest way to deploy Node.js, Golang, Python among others to AWS, and can cost as little as $1/mo to run or in some cases free.
