About Convox
Convox Rack is a private platform-as-a-service that runs in your own AWS account. This repository is the Rack, written in Go and Docker-based, and the README describes installing it from the Convox Console. The related project site describes deploying and scaling applications in your own AWS, GCP, Azure, or DigitalOcean account with Heroku-simple workflows on Kubernetes and no lock-in.
The marketing site lists features such as auto-scaling, security and compliance, monitoring and alerts, CI/CD workflows, database and cache management, and framework guides for Laravel, Django, Next.js, Spring Boot, Ruby on Rails, and Express. It offers Convox Cloud as well as Convox Rack, and there is a pricing page, though prices are not given in the input.
The README mentions the Apache 2.0 license while the input lists it as other, so check the repository. Convox suits small teams that want Heroku-like deployment inside their own cloud account for data control and cost reasons.
