Engine Yard Cloud vs PythonAnywhere: What are the differences?
Developers describe Engine Yard Cloud as "Deploy and scale Rails applications in the cloud". The Engine Yard Platform as a Service (PaaS) is a product family that leverages open source technologies to orchestrate and automate the configuration, deployment and management of applications on multiple infrastructures. On the other hand, PythonAnywhere is detailed as "Micro PaaS for Python web apps. Develop and host Python from your browser". It's somewhat unique. A small PaaS that supports web apps (Python only) as well as scheduled jobs with shell access. It is an expensive way to tinker and run several small apps.
Engine Yard Cloud and PythonAnywhere belong to "Platform as a Service" category of the tech stack.
"Great customer support" is the primary reason why developers consider Engine Yard Cloud over the competitors, whereas "Web apps" was stated as the key factor in picking PythonAnywhere.
