Jelastic vs OpenShift: What are the differences?

# Key differences between Jelastic and OpenShift

Jelastic and OpenShift are two popular Platform as a Service (PaaS) providers with their own set of features and functionalities. Below are the key differences between the two platforms:

1. **Supported Languages and Frameworks**: Jelastic supports a wide range of programming languages and frameworks including Java, PHP, Ruby, Node.js, Python, and .NET. On the other hand, OpenShift primarily focuses on supporting languages such as Java, Ruby, PHP, Python, Node.js, and Perl, with limited support for others.

2. **Pricing and Billing Model**: Jelastic offers a pay-as-you-go model where users are billed based on actual resource usage, enabling cost control and flexibility. In contrast, OpenShift provides a free tier for small applications, but its pricing becomes more expensive as the resource usage increases, making it less cost-effective for larger applications.

3. **Scalability Options**: Jelastic provides vertical and horizontal scaling capabilities, allowing users to easily scale their applications up or down based on demand. OpenShift also supports horizontal scaling, but it's more limited in terms of vertical scaling options compared to Jelastic.

4. **Customization and White Labelling**: Jelastic allows for extensive customization and white-labeling options, enabling businesses to tailor the platform to their specific branding and requirements. OpenShift, while offering some customization options, is relatively restricted in terms of white-labeling and branding capabilities.

5. **Integration and Marketplace**: Jelastic offers an extensive marketplace with a wide range of pre-configured applications and stacks that can be easily deployed, facilitating rapid development and deployment. OpenShift also provides integrations with various tools and services, but its marketplace is not as robust or diverse as Jelastic's.

6. **Community and Support**: Jelastic has a vibrant community of developers and users, offering comprehensive documentation, tutorials, and forums for assistance. OpenShift also has a strong community presence, but its support resources may not be as extensive or user-friendly as Jelastic's.

In Summary, the key differences between Jelastic and OpenShift lie in supported languages and frameworks, pricing and billing model, scalability options, customization and white-labeling capabilities, integration and marketplace offerings, as well as community and support resources.

    What are some alternatives to Jelastic and Red Hat OpenShift?
    Google App Engine
    Google has a reputation for highly reliable, high performance infrastructure. With App Engine you can take advantage of the 10 years of knowledge Google has in running massively scalable, performance driven systems. App Engine applications are easy to build, easy to maintain, and easy to scale as your traffic and data storage needs grow.
    Amazon EBS
    Amazon EBS volumes are network-attached, and persist independently from the life of an instance. Amazon EBS provides highly available, highly reliable, predictable storage volumes that can be attached to a running Amazon EC2 instance and exposed as a device within the instance. Amazon EBS is particularly suited for applications that require a database, file system, or access to raw block level storage.
    DigitalOcean
    We take the complexities out of cloud hosting by offering blazing fast, on-demand SSD cloud servers, straightforward pricing, a simple API, and an easy-to-use control panel.
    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.
    Heroku
    Heroku is a cloud application platform – a new way of building and deploying web apps. Heroku lets app developers spend 100% of their time on their application code, not managing servers, deployment, ongoing operations, or scaling.
