Up is a command-line tool that deploys serverless applications, APIs, and static sites to AWS Lambda and API Gateway in seconds, supporting Node.js, Go, Python, Java, and more. It provides a Heroku-style deployment experience with built-in logging, metrics, and no server management.

Use cases

  • deploy a serverless app to aws lambda
  • deploy static website to aws
  • self-hosted heroku alternative on aws
  • deploy http api without managing servers
  • deploy express or django app to lambda
  • cheaply host many small apis on aws

When to choose

  • you want Heroku-style simplicity on AWS Lambda
  • you deploy vanilla HTTP servers in Node.js, Go, Python, or Java
  • you want low-cost hosting for many small apps or static sites
  • you don't want to manage or scale servers

When to avoid

  • you need multi-cloud or non-AWS deployment targets
  • you need long-running processes or WebSockets beyond Lambda limits
  • you want a fully managed platform rather than a deploy tool
  • you need Pro features like encrypted env vars or alerting without a subscription
