Stacktape supports many resources that Flightcontrol doesn't. Such as
To package your containers, Stacktape offers paketo buildpacks, nixpacks, and even Stacktape-native, heavily-optimized buildpack which is probably the fastest way to package JS/TS applications.
Stacktape also offers automatic packaging for lambda functions (which also efficiently packages dependencies).
You can install Stacktape CLI (or Typescript or Python SDK) directly to your local system, and deploy from there.
This can significantly speeds up the development feedback loop compared to using a CI/CD server.
Stacktape supports Github, Gitlab and Bitbucket.
Additionally, you can easily integrate Stacktape into any CI/CD pipeline, thanks to Stacktape CLI.
Both Stacktape and Flightcontrol allow you to configure your infrastructure using IaC.
With Stacktape, IaC is a first-class citizen. Our Interactive Config Editor removes all the annoying parts from writing IaC while retaining all of its advantages.
Stacktape config can be written in YAML, JSON or Typescript. Using Typescript gives you much more flexibility, should you need it.
Stacktape is designed from day one to be flexible.
Everything Stacktape deploys can be configured or overridden.
Stacktape templates can be extended using AWS CloudFormation, and even AWS CDK constructs.
