Porter is a platform-as-a-service that deploys applications into your own AWS, GCP, or Azure account on top of managed Kubernetes clusters it provisions and operates for you. It targets startups that outgrew Heroku but do not want to hire a platform team, keeping workloads, data, and cloud credits in their own account. Pricing is plan-based on top of your own infrastructure costs. It suits teams wanting production-grade Kubernetes without operating it directly.
