Every developer knows the trade-off. You’ve built something exciting, and now it’s time to deploy. The options? Either you go with a managed platform that feels smooth at first but quickly piles on costs and locks you in. Or you self-host, where you get complete control along with endless configuration files, monitoring headaches, and the constant fear that one missed update will take everything down. It’s a choice between speed and freedom. And for too long, that’s just been the way things are. At Clouddley, we asked a simple question: why can’t you have both?

​
A better way to run workloads

Clouddley was designed for developers who want simplicity and ownership. We call it backend infrastructure for your compute. That means you get the power to run apps, databases, brokers, and AI workloads anywhere without tying yourself to a single vendor. Here’s what that looks like in practice:
  • Deploy on your own servers, VMs, or bare metal.
  • Run across AWS, GCP, Azure, Hetzner, Scaleway, DigitalOcean, wherever your project needs to go.
  • Enjoy simplicity with instant deploys, quick rollbacks, and effortless scaling.
You stay in control. We remove the friction.

​
Why it matters

It really comes down to three significant advantages:
  • Lower costs. Running the same workloads on your own servers or a cloud service is often a fraction of the price of managed platforms.
  • Real freedom. Move across providers and regions without starting from scratch or worrying about vendor restrictions.
  • More creativity. Instead of spending hours fussing over YAML files or juggling cloud dashboards, you focus on what you actually want to build.
Developers don’t get into this field to struggle with infrastructure. They do it to solve problems, create new ideas, and ship faster. Clouddley makes space for that.

​
A real-world example

Take a startup building an AI-driven customer support tool. At first, they deployed on a managed PaaS. It was fast and easy until their customer base grew. Suddenly, scaling costs tripled, and moving workloads across regions became a nightmare. The more they built, the more they felt trapped. With Clouddley, the same team can deploy AI workloads, such as running open-source LLMs across AWS EC2 instances for their U.S. customers, run databases on a more affordable provider like Hetzner in Europe, and still maintain the simplicity of instant deploys and rollbacks. They get the freedom to run where it makes sense without rewriting their entire stack or losing valuable time. That’s the difference. Infrastructure should empower growth, not hinder it.

​
The shift that’s already happening

Infrastructure is changing. More teams are realising they don’t have to pick between two extremes. The future isn’t about choosing which vendor you’ll commit to for the next five years. It’s about choosing yourself, owning your workloads, your costs, and your freedom. Clouddley is here to help make that shift possible.

​
Choose yourself

With Clouddley, you don’t compromise. You run apps, databases, brokers, and AI workloads anywhere with simplicity, control, and no lock-in. The next generation of infrastructure isn’t vendor-led. It’s developer-led.
And that starts with you.
