About Flightcontrol
What is Flightcontrol?
Flightcontrol is a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) that deploys directly into your own AWS account. It automates infrastructure provisioning, CI/CD, and deployments using services like ECS+Fargate, EC2, Lambda, and RDS. You retain full visibility and control while your team ships code with simple git pushes.
Who is it for?
Flightcontrol is built for development teams outgrowing simpler PaaS providers (like Heroku or Vercel) or struggling with homegrown AWS setups. It is ideal for companies that want AWS reliability and scalability without hiring dedicated DevOps engineers. It is not suited for non-technical users or teams unwilling to manage AWS costs directly.
Key use cases
Teams use Flightcontrol to deploy web servers, APIs, background workers, cron jobs, static sites, databases, and Redis caches. It simplifies multi-region applications, preview environments, and role-based access control for GitHub organizations. Real users report regaining developer autonomy while cutting DevOps overhead.
Key features
