You can use OpenShift Express for commercial web applications, but rest assured that it will meet your requirements. Possible problems:

  • There is currently no outgoing email support.
  • Currently, applications do not scale to accommodate the load.
  • 1 GB disk space limitation
  • shared hosting
  • 3 cartridge limit (DB, metrics, etc.) for each application
  • There is no official support for Red Hat. The documentation is good and the community forum is very active.

OpenShift will fulfill many requirements for a commercial site. I think this is a great option. For more information, read the FAQ .

You can use Cloudify . It is designed to organize any application on any Cloud without changing the application code or architecture. Cloudify is open and free.

Cloudify offers many features such as seamless monitoring, scaling rules using any KPI, API for sharing runtime information between agents, and even Chef integration

I use it for small services and clients. There are no provisions on the terms of use that state that you cannot use it as a commercial web application. But pay attention to the following line:

"You may not post or transmit advertisements or commercial statements, advertisements relating to websites or online services that compete with Red Hat and / or this website through this website."

Yes, OpenShift has a level that is completely free to use, even for commercial applications. There are no plans to change this in the future. However, there are some minor restrictions for the FreeShift layer:

  • Scaling limited to 3 gears
    • Serves around 15 pages per second
    • 3 GB shared storage (1 GB per transfer)
  • SSL certificate for your custom domain name
  • Red Hat support not supported

An alternative to Heroku , which you should definitely check if you have not already done so. Using both options, I can tell you that it is a much more polished platform: servers are about 4 times faster, you can run as many applications as you want, and Heroku Toolbelt is much more powerful than OpenShift Client Tools. Heroku is also completely free until you reach 10k rows in your database.

RedHat will provide support (and scaling) when they release their MegaShift level. ( https://openshift.redhat.com/community/developers/pricing ) I do not think there is a date for this.

It will not be free.
