pkgcloud is a Node.js standard library that abstracts away differences among multiple cloud providers, offering a unified API for compute, storage, database, DNS, block storage, load balancers, network, orchestration, and CDN services. It lets developers write provider-agnostic code against IaaS providers like OpenStack, Rackspace, AWS, Azure, and HP Helion.
Use cases
- manage cloud servers across multiple providers from node.js
- upload and download files to different cloud storage providers with one API
- create a unified client for openstack and rackspace compute
- provision databases on various cloud providers programmatically
- abstract cloud provider differences in a node.js application
- manage DNS records across cloud providers
- script cloud infrastructure tasks in javascript
When to choose
- you need a single Node.js API to work with multiple IaaS providers
- you want to avoid vendor lock-in for compute and storage operations
- you are maintaining legacy Node.js code that already uses pkgcloud
When to avoid
- you only target one cloud provider and can use its official SDK
- you need support for modern cloud services or actively updated provider APIs
- you are starting a new project, since the library is in maintenance mode with limited provider updates
