Fluxflex: GitHub-integrated Cloud Hosting, Starting at $1 Per Month

FluxFlex, a Tokyo- and San Jose SF-based (Just learned they had recently moved to SF’s co-working space pariSoma) tech start-up specializing in developing an easy-to-maintain cloud hosting service, introduced its official version today.  The service uses the Amazon EC2 as its backend environment, but has several advantages over other hosting services. In terms of price competitiveness, an instant installation procedure of OSS packages and a seamless integration with GitHub, a web-based versioning service that helps developers easily work with others.

If you imported any web apps maintained on GitHub to your environment on FluxFlex, any new revision will be automatically deployed.  The service intends to provide an ideal development environment that allows developers to really focus on app coding and forget about related complications.

FluxFlex was founded and developed by two Japanese tech entrepreneurs, one in San Francisco who was previously working with Kyoto-based blog hosting company Hatena, and a Tokyoite who was formerly in charge of developing and maintaining Japan’s Second Life-like metaverse Meet Me.
