Hello LET,
I am looking for a scalable high availability cloud server. Not scalable as in we can upgrade you to a bigger package if you get more traffic, but scalable as in the instance will be cloned and multiplied and load will be distributed if needed. PaaS are fine, as long as they support PHP & mySQL or MariaDB (the application uses laravel, so built in support for that would be nice). I am looking for something like EC2, Google App Engine, Red Hat OpenShift etc but for a bit less than what they charge (i know its almost impossible for le* price, and im not expecting that).
DigitalOcean doesnt count since it's not truly scalable (does not have auto scaling or load distribution). The project I am working for does not want to use API's to create a scalable solution (do would work if we supported this), instead wants to use auto scaling solutions like openshift.
Feel free to recommend anything you have in mind (even do alternatives that aren't really scalable but have api, if pricing looks good i could try to work something out). Thank you!
