# Catalyst by Zoho

A full-stack cloud development platform that lets developers build, deploy, and scale applications — including AI-powered apps — without stitching together separate cloud services.

**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:** Sells the same app-building, deployment, and AI-infrastructure capability (serverless, AI/ML, frontend deployment, DevOps observability) to the same frontend/full-stack developers and AI/agent builders that the anchor targets, so a buyer evaluating the anchor would shortlist both and pick one.

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

> Simplest full-stack cloud development platform

> build apps, microservices, custom front-ends, and AI-powered apps, all on a single platform

> Catalyst provisions infrastructure, connects services, and deploys applications
