About
Flightcontrol is a platform that deploys applications into the user’s own AWS account. It connects to an AWS account and a Git repository, then automates infrastructure provisioning, CI/CD, and deployments for services such as servers, Lambdas, workers, crons, static sites, databases, Redis, and S3 buckets.
The free plan is for a single user and supports personal, single-user repositories with unlimited projects, unlimited environments, and unlimited deployments. It is aimed at developers who want AWS-backed hosting with managed deployment workflows, while AWS infrastructure charges remain separate and can be paid with AWS credits.

Free Tier Value
This free tier is genuinely usable for a solo developer: it includes one user, unlimited projects and environments, and unlimited deployments, but it is still clearly capped to personal use and lacks team features. The closest paid offering is the Team plan, which is usage-based with no platform fee; compared with that, the free tier feels like a small but practical starter slice, worth about $3/month for someone who would otherwise pay for a minimal solo setup.
