I'd love to hear about any trouble you ran into while trying Flynn so that we can fix it! Feel free to send me an email: jonathan@flynn.io

Convox is a great pick if you want to use AWS-specific services for your entire stack. Instead of using portable open source components, Convox uses AWS services wherever possible, and acts as a lightweight coordinator to combine them into a platform.

Flynn has no external dependencies on cloud features, so you can run it anywhere, whether that's on your laptop, AWS, Google Cloud, a VM somewhere, or bare metal in a colo or private datacenter. We also include RDS-like highly available database appliances so that your whole stack is portable and you are not locked into a single hosting provider.

edited to add: We didn't know about this post until Bitmatica posted it, this is just a great post from a happy user, not planned Flynn marketing!
