No, I'm not talking about 'OpenAI', though you certainly can use it to assist in your API designs. I'm talking about the OpenAPI standard, a modern spec for defining REST APIs. If you're reading this, I probably don't need to tell you that REST APIs are ubiquitous in tech. Practically every company has at least one, whether it be an internal or customer facing API. While other types of APIs have been gaining traction the last few years (GraphQL, gRPC, etc), REST is here to stay.

At Cycle, we've taken a distinctive approach to VPN services, integrating them at the environment level of our platform. In a landscape where complexity can escalate quickly, anchoring each VPN to an environment–a VPC spanning the nodes of a cluster– simplifies management and maintains a high level of isolation.

Proper backups are universally acknowledged as essential, yet they grow increasingly tedious and prone to error as DevOps complexity escalates. While some managed database services offer automated backup solutions, the scope of your backup requirements is likely to expand as the business and products scale. There's a considerable chance you'll find yourself hosting your own databases or stateful services, a task that can seem daunting in its demand for precision and reliability.

If there's one thing almost every developer has done in their life, it's deploy an application to Heroku. From their launch in 2007, Heroku dominated PaaS and caught the attention of Salesforce who acquired them in 2010. They had the first managed Postgres service in 2011, an easy to use CLI, and, last but not least, it was free to get started which led to a big uptick in initial popularity. Every side project from here to the moon went to Heroku.

Docker has a storied history of being one of the most widely used developer toolings of all time. In the early days of containers, it was the only thing being used for local container development, and their contributions will be forever remembered as a major factor in the speed at which container technology was adopted. Docker also created a container orchestration platform called Docker Swarm.

Kubernetes has become quite the conundrum. It’s 2024 and more teams than ever are looking for an alternative to the self proclaimed “de-facto” container solution for reasons ranging from long term complexity to its absolutely massive cost to maintain. So here’s the scoop. Teams have been ditching Kubernetes faster than hipsters drop mainstream coffee chains for that obscure, single-origin brew. Why?

The developer friendly container platform. Choose your infrastructure provider, import your containers, and let Cycle handle the rest.

Containers have changed the way developers build, deploy, and scale software. Unfortunately, the adoption of containers has also lead to an ever-growing stack of technical debt and responsibilities for teams to manage.

Interested in utilizing containers, on your own infrastructure, without having to deal with the OS, networks, or a container orchestration layer? Welcome to Cycle.

Container Orchestration Meets SaaS:

  • Always Up-to-Date: Stop dealing with OS patches and orchestration layer updates; Cycle automatically delivers platform updates to all servers.
  • Automate Everything: Deployment pipelines, automatic TLS / SSL certificates, and more. Cycle is there when you need it -- and out of the way when you don’t.
  • Bring Your Own Infrastructure: Effortlessly deploy infrastructure from any of our supported providers. Own your data and your applications while we handle the rest.
  • Develop Faster: Cycle was built for both experienced developers and new users alike. Manage containers, servers, DNS, and more, all on one platform to save time and resources.
  • Built for Teams: From quickly onboarding new members to easily managing user access, Cycle’s portal has everything needed for a team to grow.
  • Secure by Default: All services and configurations are secure from the start, reducing the likelihood of mistakes that could lead to a security exploit.
