Five person startup, nobody wanted to own Kubernetes. Tidereach costs us about £900/month which sounds like a lot until you price a platform engineer. Preview environments per PR changed how we review code. Support answered a build cache question at 11pm on a Sunday, in twenty minutes, with the correct answer.
I've been in this industry fifteen years and I have never had support like this. No script reading, no asking me to clear my browser cache. First reply is always a human who has looked at our actual deployment logs. The platform itself is very good, the price is high, but the support is what I'd renew for.
Loved the platform for eight months. Then we launched a feature that served video thumbnails and got a bill 3.4x the previous month. Egress is metered from byte one and the dashboard only shows you the running total once a day, so by the time we noticed we were three weeks in. They did work with us on it and set up an alert threshold, but that should be on by default. Docking two stars for that alone.
Rolling deploys with connection draining, automatic rollback if health checks fail, certs renew themselves. I have not thought about TLS in two years. Price is steep and I wish the CLI had better offline docs but honestly these are small complaints.
Great for our first two years. Then we needed long-running background workers with custom queue affinity and the platform just doesn't do that. Their answer was essentially 'run it as a web service and don't scale to zero', which works but felt like fighting the tool. Moved to raw compute in the end. No hard feelings, it's a good product for the stage it targets.

Their EU build cluster was down for about 3 hours in February and we couldn't ship. Running apps stayed up, which mattered. Postmortem was out in 48 hours and was unusually candid about the root cause being their own config change. I'd rather have that than the vague 'networking issue' boilerplate you get elsewhere.
