Experiences with Jelastic?

If you used Jelastic, what were your experiences?
What pricing can I expect (based on the number of users you had)?
I am in the process of developing a small scale application (ca. 20 users).

Hi Bertil, I’m co-founder of Jelastic. The cost very much depends on the resource consumption as Jelastic offers real “pay-per-use” pricing. There is an easy way to check the cost by deploying your app to one of the available providers jelastic.cloud/. Almost all of the partners offer 2 weeks free trial. Please check carefully support quality and performance as well as available regions as the pricing varies based on these parameters. If you face any difficulty our team is ready to help, just drop a message to support@jelastic.com.

I have a very positive experience with Jelastic! It is easy to handle for a person who doesn`t want to deep in VPS and configure own web-server. The graphics interface for setting up your server creates a configuration within several minutes.
About one thing, I want to notice - there is no marking Node.JS version as "LTS" and "current".

I think you could make an article here and Medium about "What Jelastic is".

Thank you for your reply! I will try a trial version :-)

To give you some background: I'm developing a scoring system for an outdoor game that is played mostly during the summer months. There are at most 20-30 concurrent users. Most of the year, the app will have very low traffic (admin tasks). Even when it's used, it will be in MByte range, not GByte.

Any ballpark guesses about the nr of "cloudlets" and the like?
I'm talking about a Spring Boot application with a Postgres db, both hosted on Jelastic.

A rough estimation: 1-2 cloudlets for Spring Boot and 2-4 cloudlets for Postgres at idle stage. But it really depends how efficient your app is, so it's better to deploy and check the cost
