You’ve developed a great app and want to make it as easy as possible for people to access and use it. So, you decide to use containers to package the software and use docker to manage your containers. Unfortunately, deploying docker containers can be a struggle, and many of the existing cloud solutions are complicated, inefficient and expensive. Sound familiar? Luckily, appfleet is here to make it easy to deploy your app.

Appfleet is an easy-to-use, cloud-based docker hosting platform and flexible edge hosting provider. It allows users to deploy containerized applications across the globe to multiple regions at the same time. Appfleet works by hosting your dynamic services in its global network, putting your app closer to your users, wherever they might be located. By hosting your app on multiple locations at the same time, you can improve your performance and uptime. Appfleet works with any code language, technology or framework, and can save you the headache of having to manage servers or routing.

Appfleet’s network includes servers in New York, San Francisco, London, Singapore and Frankfurt, making it easier and faster for users to connect to your app. Appfleet also handles clustering, replication and global routing work for you. Their global traffic router routes all requests and makes sure users connect to the location nearest them. With appfleet, users can host a variety of services, including apps, websites, video streaming services, DNS servers and more.

To deploy a multi-region app, users start by specifying the container image or GitHub repo they want to deploy, then selecting the regions they want to use and the resources they need. Finally, users point their DNS to the globally load-balanced hostname for their multi-region app.
