Compose vs Zappa: What are the differences?

Developers describe Compose as "We host databases for busy devs: production-ready, cloud-hosted, open source". Compose makes it easy to spin up multiple open source databases with just one click. Deploy MongoDB for production, take Redis out for a performance test drive, or spin up RethinkDB in development before rolling it out to production. On the other hand, Zappa is detailed as "Deploy all Python WSGI applications on AWS Lambda + API Gateway". Zappa makes it super easy to deploy all Python WSGI applications on AWS Lambda + API Gateway. Think of it as "serverless" web hosting for your Python web apps. That means infinite scaling, zero downtime, zero maintenance - and at a fraction of the cost of your current deployments!.

Compose belongs to "MongoDB Hosting" category of the tech stack, while Zappa can be primarily classified under "Serverless / Task Processing".

Accenture, Samba Tech, and ReadMe.io are some of the popular companies that use Compose, whereas Zappa is used by Bepro Company, We Got POP, and Dubsmash. Compose has a broader approval, being mentioned in 108 company stacks & 83 developers stacks; compared to Zappa, which is listed in 13 company stacks and 41 developer stacks.

    What are some alternatives to Compose and Zappa?
    Docker Compose
    With Compose, you define a multi-container application in a single file, then spin your application up in a single command which does everything that needs to be done to get it running.
    Docker
    The Docker Platform is the industry-leading container platform for continuous, high-velocity innovation, enabling organizations to seamlessly build and share any application — from legacy to what comes next — and securely run them anywhere
    Composer
    It is a tool for dependency management in PHP. It allows you to declare the libraries your project depends on and it will manage (install/update) them for you.
    Kubernetes
    Kubernetes is an open source orchestration system for Docker containers. It handles scheduling onto nodes in a compute cluster and actively manages workloads to ensure that their state matches the users declared intentions.
    Docker Swarm
    Swarm serves the standard Docker API, so any tool which already communicates with a Docker daemon can use Swarm to transparently scale to multiple hosts: Dokku, Compose, Krane, Deis, DockerUI, Shipyard, Drone, Jenkins... and, of course, the Docker client itself.
