About Simplifyd

Simplifyd Cloud - #Datafree. #Secure. #Fast. #Serverless.

Simplifyd Cloud is a deployment platform designed to streamline the software development life-cycle, starting with instant deployments and effortless scale, extending to CI/CD integrations and built-in observability.

Did you say #datafree too? Yes! Simplifyd Cloud is #datafree. This means in geographical regions where we've partnered with and integrated to local mobile network operators (MNOs), your applications deployed to Simplifyd Cloud can be accessed by users on their mobile devices without using out of their internet mobile data plan. In other words, if a user has no active internet mobile data plan, your app is still accessible! This is a game changer for emerging markets where mobile is the primary mode for consuming internet applicatons and mobile data plans are still porhibitively expensive compared to earnings.

Info

Current geographical regions with #datafree support include Nigeria (MTN, Airtel, Glo and 9Mobile) and Kenya (Safaricom). More geogrpahical regions are in the works. Please check back for updates.

Deploying on Simplifyd

Point Simplifyd to your deployment source and let the platform handle the rest.

Flexible Deployment Sources

  • Git Repositories or Local Directories: With or without Dockerfiles. Simplifyd will build an OCI compliant image based on what you provide.
  • Docker Images: Directly from local, Docker Hub or GitHub Container Registry.

Hassle-Free Setup

  • Sane Defaults: Out of the box, your project is deployed with sane defaults to get you up and running as fast as possible.
  • Configuration Tuning: When you're ready, there are plenty of knobs and switches to optimize as needed.

Development Lifecycle

Software development extends far beyond code deployment. Simplifyd's feature set is tailor-made, and continuously evolving, to provide the best developer experience we can imagine. Simplifyd makes it super easy to deploy #datafree web apps (websites, web frontend & backend apps), microservices and more without all the hassle of devops and infrastructure management. All you need to do is focus on writing great software, use Git for SCM, link your Git repo (Github, Bitbucket and GitLab supported) to Simplifyd and whenever you commit and push, Simplifyd takes care of building and deploying your app. You don't have to use Git, Simplifyd supports deploys directly from your local directory. Simplifyd handles all the grunt, tedious and mundane tasks such as managing SSL certificates and renewals, updating the app everytime you commit and push to git, autoscaling your app when under heavy load and a host of other tasks.

Configuration Management

  • Variables & Secrets: Easily manage configuration values and sensitive data with variable management tools.

Environment and Workflow

  • Environment Management: Create both static and ephemeral environments to create workflows that complement your processes.
  • Orchestration & Tooling: Build Simplifyd into any workflow using our CLI or API.

Deployment Monitoring

  • Observability: Keep a pulse on your deployments with Simplifyd's built-in observability tools.
  • Consistency of Workflows. Simplifyd aims to provide an easy-to-use, consistent workflow for getting applications from development to production: edge up.
  • Confidence in Deployment. The first thing any developer does after deploying is validate it works: open a browser, refresh the page, check logs, etc. Simplifyd provides tools such as logs etc. to give you confidence that deployments succeed.

Some key features are:

  • #Datafree: through local direct integrations with mobile networks in Nigeria and kenya, Simplifyd enables developers build apps that don't require their users to have an active mobile internet data plan to use their apps. This removes the barrier where users need to have data to use/access an app.
  • Lightning fast: through local direct integrations to regional IXPs in Lagos and Nairobi, your users are typically one (1) ISP hop away from your app. With an average latency of 20ms from most ISPs your apps load and perform super fast, giving your users a remarkable experience.
  • Local currency billing: you get to choose what currency you want to be billed in, which is great for business planning and at the same time choose where you want your apps deployed. You get to eat your cake and still have it!
  • Support for major languages and frameworks: Vuejs, Reactjs, Angularjs, Jekyll, Laravel, Nodejs, Go, .NET Core etc. all supported out of the box making it all the more seamless to build amazing apps.
  • Deployments made simpler: no tedious devops and infrastructure management. All the grunt work automatically handled, such as SSL/TLS certificate management (issuing and renewals), autoscaling (scale up and down), build management, rollback support etc.
  • CLI available with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) support: The CLI is super easy to use and makes automation a breeze. IaC support ensures that you can always reproduce your environments predictably. You can code up your entire enviroment in a YAML file.
  • Easy and intuitive to use: Simplifyd is built with developer productivty in mind. That's why it's super easy and intuitive for developers to use. Most tasks take just three (3) or fewer steps to complete.
  • Autoscaling as demand increases: We track certain app metrics such as CPU utilization, memory pressure, response times etc. and scale your apps to meet the demands. All this happens automatically without manual intervention.
