# Porter

A platform as a service (PaaS) selling managed app infrastructure that deploys and scales applications in the customer's own AWS, GCP, or Azure account.

**Route:** surfaced by the Web Application and Frontend Hosting Platform lane's de-branded queries → competitor to vercel.com.

**Why it's on the map:** Offers the same PaaS capability to the same frontend and full-stack developers who would shortlist Vercel for deploying and scaling web applications, and explicitly markets itself to customers migrating from Vercel.

**Receipts** (verbatim from its page this run):

> Effortless app infrastructure, your own cloud.

> Run and scale apps in any AWS, GCP, or Azure account.

> Migrated from Vercel/Render

**Edges:**

- competitor [[flexstack-com]]
