Crafting a new developer experience through user research 🧐

🧘 Providing flexible, container-based resource allocation
🚀 Creating a usage-based billing model to cater to flexible resources

...And more.

These insights and the extensive research led us to build a new product, Upsun, with a wide range of new features and to enable functionality, onboarding, and configuration for any application.
