Easypanel vs STACKIT

Git, image, and Compose deploys with multiple builders

Connect GitHub or generic Git, upload archives, pull Docker images, or run Compose projects. Build with Dockerfile, Cloud Native Buildpacks, Nixpacks, or Railpack. Auto-deploy webhooks are available for GitHub sources. Limit: you still operate the underlying server and must keep ports 80/443 free on a typical install.

Automatic HTTPS domains and Traefik routing

Attach hostnames to services, terminate TLS, and apply proxy middlewares from the dashboard. Useful for teams that want certificate renewal and routing without hand-editing reverse-proxy files. Limit: DNS and server firewall remain your responsibility.

Managed databases plus scheduled backups

Run Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB, and Redis as services beside apps. Schedule database and volume backups to local disk, FTP/SFTP, S3-compatible storage, Dropbox, or Google Drive, then restore from the UI. Limit: a local-only backup destination does not protect against full server loss.

Large one-click application template catalogue

Install maintained templates for hundreds of open-source apps (vendor states 750+) such as n8n, Supabase, WordPress, Immich, and Nextcloud, with service wiring handled by the panel. Limit: each upstream app still needs its own hardening, upgrades, and credential hygiene.

In-browser operations: metrics, logs, and shell

Monitor CPU, memory, disk, and network, stream logs, and open a container shell or saved scripts without separate SSH tooling for routine tasks. Limit: deep incident response still needs host-level access and your own observability stack for production SLAs.

Comprehensive IaaS: Compute and Storage

STACKIT's Compute Engine provides virtual machines and GPUs for workloads from general computing to AI training. Storage options include object for unstructured data, block for high-performance databases, file sharing, and automated backups. These run in EU data centers, offering low-latency access and scalability without vendor lock-in. Users benefit from predictable performance in regulated environments.

Managed Kubernetes and PaaS

The STACKIT Kubernetes Engine (SKE) deploys CNCF-compliant clusters with automated scaling and updates. Cloud Foundry supports application development and operations. Databases and messaging services like RabbitMQ integrate seamlessly. Developers focus on code while STACKIT handles infrastructure, reducing setup time and operational overhead for containerized apps.

Security and Observability Tools

Features like Secrets Manager, Key Management Service, and Network Security protect data at rest and in transit. Confidential Computing safeguards sensitive workloads. Logging via LogMe and Observability stack provide real-time insights. These tools ensure compliance and quick issue resolution, vital for industries facing strict audits.
