AppScale vs cloudControl: What are the differences?

AppScale: An open source implementation of Google App Engine. Run your applications in any cloud- public, private or hybrid. AppScale is a platform that allows users to deploy applications developed using the Google App Engine APIs over Amazon EC2, Rackspace, Google Compute Engine, Eucalyptus, Openstack, CloudStack, as well as KVM and VirtualBox; cloudControl: Deploy and scale any app in Java, PHP, Python, Ruby and more. The cloudControl PaaS supports multiple languages and their ecosystems natively and without vendor lock-in through open source buildpacks. Native support means you can continue to use the tools you know and love for development and simply push your code to the cloudControl platform. A buildpack is run on each push and prepares your app for deployment. E.g. compiling source code, minifying CSS and Javascript assets, pulling in dependencies with Maven, Composer, PIP, Bundler and more.

AppScale and cloudControl can be primarily classified as "Platform as a Service" tools.

Some of the features offered by AppScale are:

• UI & Dashboard
• Manage Apps, Machines, and Logs
• Automated Data Persistence

On the other hand, cloudControl provides the following key features:

• Develop and push code in any language- Native support for Java, PHP, Python, Ruby and more without vendor lock-in.
• Deploy and scale your apps easily- Launch new versions without downtime and use horizontal or vertical scaling.
• Use the flexible and secure runtime environment- Run your code in secure Linux containers and easily use Add-on services to add databases and more.

AppScale is an open source tool with 2.39K GitHub stars and 273 GitHub forks. Here's a link to AppScale's open source repository on GitHub.
