Many startups get started on a PaaS to ship their MVP quickly without wasting time on infrastructure (as all startups should). However, most of these companies end up "graduating" off the PaaS and move to their own infrastructure on AWS or GCP for more flexibility as they scale.

Porter allows you to get started just as easily as you would on a traditional PaaS, with a peace of mind that you can customize the underlying infrastructure as you scale. Under the hood, Porter runs a battle-tested Kubernetes cluster with the same kind of architecture that growth-stage companies usually build out with a team of infra engineers, allowing startups to scale effortlessly.

We first launched Porter on PH almost 2 years ago. We got a lot of interest from our initial launch, but after a few months quickly realized that we didn’t have the resources to properly manage so many Kubernetes clusters that are distributed across different cloud accounts at scale.

This led us to the difficult decision of shutting down our self-serve function and focusing on larger growth-stage companies who we thought actually warrants the scalability of something like Kubernetes. This strategy worked well - we incrementally moved upmarket, quickly grew our revenue, and even onboarded a few public companies.

After a year since the initial launch, however, something fascinating started to happen; some of the seed stage companies we’ve onboarded in the beginning started to reach true scale on Porter (many of which also did their initial launches on PH!).

For example, Writesonic (https://www.producthunt.com/prod...), who first started on Porter during their YC batch, now runs a Kubernetes cluster with 1.5 Terabytes of RAM without a single full-time infra engineer. Memberstack (https://www.producthunt.com/prod...) now routinely handles more than a million requests a day processing >$5M in payments every month. The list goes on.

Today we are re-launching Porter as we open it back up so that anyone can try it out on their own. After two years of building and growing our team, we are now in a much better position to support a self-serve motion and would love to invite the next generation of makers to get started on Porter and scale to new levels as they grow, just like Writesonic and Memberstack have.

Along with the launch, we're also offering Porter for free for a year to select companies. If you are interested, please fill out the form here: https://gcpjnf9adme.typeform.com.... We'll select 10 companies for this deal!
