Get current pricing directly (not published in detail on the marketing site) and confirm which Kubernetes-level features and support terms apply when self-hosting on a connected cloud account versus Northflank's own infrastructure.
Shortlist Northflank when a team wants Heroku-like deployment ergonomics but needs Kubernetes-level control, GPU workloads, or the option to run on its own cloud account rather than a fully third-party one.
Bring-your-own-cloud changes the cost and compliance profile compared to a fully hosted PaaS; understand which deployment mode is being priced before comparing Northflank against alternatives.
