Convox vs Modulus: What are the differences?
Developers describe Convox as "Launch a Private Cloud in Minutes. The simplicity of Heroku. The power of AWS". Convox is an open source Platform as a Service that runs in your own Amazon Web Services (AWS) account. Instead of signing up for a multi-tenant PaaS like Heroku, you can have your own. This gives you privacy and control over your platform and avoids the substantial markup on AWS prices that other platforms charge. On the other hand, Modulus is detailed as "Hosting, Scaling, and Data for Node.js applications". Modulus is a premier Node.js hosting platform that provides a complete technology stack for application developers. This includes custom SSL, WebSockets, MongoDB, statistics, and more.
Convox and Modulus can be primarily classified as "Platform as a Service" tools.
Some of the features offered by Convox are:
- Instant Deploys
- Runs in your AWS account
- Open Source
On the other hand, Modulus provides the following key features:

"Your own scalable Heroku in 5 minutes" is the primary reason why developers consider Convox over the competitors, whereas "Easy to set up and scale" was stated as the key factor in picking Modulus.
