Choosing the right container for your application is essential for balancing performance with cost. wildcloud's usage-based pricing offers flexibility by allowing you to pay only for the actual container hours used. This guide will assist you in selecting the most suitable container type for your application's unique demands.
Understanding Container Types
Small or General Purpose Container
Ideal for: Lighter applications such as small business websites, blogs, and personal portfolios that have moderate traffic and resource requirements.
General Purpose Container
Ideal for: A wide range of applications, including medium-sized e-commerce sites, CRMs, and educational platforms that require a balance of performance and affordability.
Heavy Duty Container
Ideal for: Resource-intensive applications like large e-commerce platforms, enterprise-level SaaS, and applications with high user concurrency that demand robust computing power.
Usage based pricing
With usage based pricing, you have the flexibility to select a minimum and maximum number of containers to serve your application, ensuring you only pay for what you use. Here's how it works:
- Minimum Containers: The baseline number of containers that are always running to serve your application.
- Maximum Containers: The upper limit of containers that can be automatically scaled up to meet peak demand.
