awsbox
A lightweight DIY PaaS for deploying Node.js apps on Amazon EC2 with full control and lower cost than Heroku.
What is awsbox?
awsbox is a lightweight Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) toolset for deploying Node.js applications on Amazon EC2. It automates server setup, security policies, and deployment workflows, reducing administrative overhead for small-scale projects. It solves the problem of boilerplate configuration while maintaining the pricing and flexibility of raw AWS instances.
Node.js developers and small teams who need full control over their deployment environment and want to avoid the limitations and costs of managed PaaS providers like Heroku.
Developers choose awsbox for its balance of PaaS-like convenience with the freedom and lower cost of self-managed AWS infrastructure. It offers full root access, customizability, and avoids vendor lock-in, making it ideal for experimental or custom deployments.
