Why Varity
Build, deploy, and monetize production apps in minutes. Pay 70-85% less than AWS. No DevOps required.
The problem
Section titled “The problem”Traditional cloud platforms are powerful but expensive and complex:
- Unpredictable pricing. Hundreds of services, hidden costs, surprise bills.
- Infrastructure overhead. You manage load balancers, databases, CDNs, and scaling yourself.
- DevOps tax. Teams hire dedicated engineers just to keep infrastructure running.
- Vendor lock-in. Migrating away is slow and costly.
A typical app with 100 users, a database, storage, and AI features costs around $2,800/month on AWS.
