Choosing the right product
Not sure what to deploy? Here's a quick map.
| You want to… | Use |
|---|---|
| A flexible virtual server you fully control | VPS |
| Dedicated, single-tenant physical hardware | Bare Metal |
| Run containers at scale | Managed Kubernetes |
| A managed MySQL, PostgreSQL, or Valkey | Managed Databases |
| Spread traffic across servers | Load Balancer |
| Serve static content fast worldwide | CDN |
| Manage domains and records | DNS |
| Call AI models through one endpoint | AI Gateway |
Most setups mix a few of these. If you're just getting started, deploy a VPS first.
