We utilized Amazon Lightsail to get a web application proof of concept up and running. It's easy to set up, requires minimal configuration, and lets us to concentrate on the coding. It's designed to help you get started fast and easily, but it's not designed for corporate applications or workloads.

JetRails is perfect for our small online company. We do not have our own in-house web team, so having a company like JetRails that clearly cares about the success of our website and is patient and understanding of our limitations on technical knowledge is incredibly valuable. We originally started out on HostGator and the help and customer service was 0; we were left on our own. Working with JetRails is the opposite; it provides peace of mind and assurance.

10/10 hands-down! Support is very fast to respond to tickets. We have an account manager who keeps me informed and is easy to work with. We also have a customer support representative who reaches out and checks in on us from time to time. I am serious when I say that they act like they are part of our company and our team, and not just a vendor. That level of support and confidence is hard to come by these days.

Amazon Lightsail is a great platform. Before we started using it, we were using AWS EC2 instances as our primary servers after being dissatisfied with other providers. After Amazon Lightsail's introduction, we were able to reduce our operating costs, improve our quality assurance tasks, and provide much more efficient and better apps with our microservices architecture.
