Overview

Aptible is a Platform as a Service (PaaS) used by companies that want their development teams to focus on their product, not managing infrastructure. Aptible provides everything you need to ship and scale compliant applications:

​
Our Story

Our journey began in 2013, a time when HIPAA, with all its complexities, was still relatively new and challenging to decipher. As we approached September 2013, an impending deadline loomed large: the HIPAA Omnibus Rule was set to take effect, mandating thousands of digital health companies to comply with HIPAA basically overnight. Recognizing this imminent need, Aptible embarked on a mission to simplify HIPAA for developers in healthcare, from solo developers at startups to large-scale development teams who lacked the time or resources to delve into the compliance space. We brought a platform to the market that made HIPAA compliance achievable from day 1. Soon after, we expanded our scope to support HITRUST, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and more, establishing ourselves as the go-to PaaS for digital health companies. As we continued to evolve our platform, we realized we had created something exceptional: a platform that streamlines security and compliance, offers reliable and high-performance infrastructure as the default, and allows for easy resource scaling — with a best-in-class support team providing invaluable infrastructure expertise. It became evident that it could benefit a broader range of companies beyond digital health. This realization led to a pivotal shift in our mission: to alleviate infrastructure challenges for all dev teams.

Apps

An Aptible app is a containerized workload that runs on dedicated AWS infrastructure — fully isolated, with no shared resources between customers. You bring your code; Aptible handles the rest. Apps support a broad range of languages, frameworks, and runtimes. Once deployed, every app gets:
  • Isolated Containers — on-demand Docker containers, dedicated per-app with no cross-tenant risk; full network isolation is enforced at the infrastructure layer by default
  • Deployment & Releases — zero-downtime deployments, instant rollbacks, high-availability by default, and centralized secrets and config management
  • Scaling — horizontal and vertical autoscaling, container profiles (General Purpose, Memory Optimized, or CPU Optimized), container efficiency recommendations, and HTTPS endpoints with built-in load balancing and TLS termination

​
Databases

Aptible provides fully managed databases on dedicated, non-shared infrastructure. Every database runs in its own isolated environment — you get the instance, not a slice of one. Aptible supports 8 database types, including PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, and Elasticsearch.
  • Dedicated Infrastructure — non-shared database instances with no noisy neighbors or cross-tenant risk; isolation enforced by design, not configuration
  • Security & Access Controls — encryption at rest and in transit enforced by default; identity-based permissions control who can connect, tunnel into, and modify databases; every access event is logged and attributable
  • Data Protection — automated daily backups with configurable retention, point-in-time recovery, cross-region backup copies, and read/standby replicas
  • Operations — patching, monitoring, and maintenance handled by Aptible; in-place version upgrades without reprovisioning; scalable storage and compute on demand

​
Security & Compliance

Our story began with a focus on security and compliance, making us the leading PaaS for regulated industries. We provide developer-friendly infrastructure guardrails and the evidence collection tools to help you pass security audits and maintain compliance — without slowing down your team.
  • Automated Controls — when you deploy on a dedicated stack, you automatically get encryption at rest and in transit, DDoS protection and host hardening, intrusion detection (HIDS), vulnerability scanning, and secure access with granular permissions, MFA, and SSO
  • Evidence Collection — the Security & Compliance Dashboard provides a unified view of your implemented controls; track compliance readiness scores, review control performance, and generate shareable compliance reports
  • Compliance Documentation — HIPAA BAAs, HITRUST Inheritance, and SOC 2 support; access Aptible’s certifications and audit reports via the Trust Center; use AI Gateway for a HIPAA-eligible path to LLMs with PHI in production

​
Reliability

We believe in reliable infrastructure for all. Aptible is engineered to minimize downtime by default, and makes advanced reliability practices — like multi-region deployments — straightforward to implement.
  • Uptime & SLAs — 99.98% uptime average with a guaranteed SLA of 99.95%; 24/7 SRE monitoring with direct access via a shared Slack channel
  • High Availability — multi-region support to minimize blast radius from regional outages; high-availability app deployments distributed across availability zones by default
  • Database Reliability — automated maintenance and patching; cross-region backup copies for disaster recovery; typical downtime during database scaling operations under 1 minute

​
Cost Control

Aptible includes built-in tools to help you understand and reduce your infrastructure spend — without needing to dig through a cloud console.
  • Visibility — view estimated monthly costs at the stack, environment, and resource level directly in the UI, so you always know what you’re running
  • Optimization — container efficiency recommendations identify over- and under-provisioned services with estimated savings; container profiles let you match CPU- or RAM-optimized configurations to your workload; autoscaling reduces idle resource usage; shared endpoints lower load balancer costs when dedicated endpoints aren’t required
  • Expert Support — Aptible’s infrastructure optimization team is available to review your account and provide cost reduction recommendations at any time

​
Developer Tools

Aptible is built to fit into your existing development workflow — whether you prefer a CLI, a dashboard, or infrastructure-as-code.
  • Aptible CLI — full control over your infrastructure from the terminal; deploy apps, manage databases, stream logs, run one-off commands, and more
  • Terraform — define and manage your entire Aptible infrastructure as code; version-control your environments and automate provisioning
  • CI/CD Integration — integrates with any CI/CD platform including GitHub Actions, CircleCI, and GitLab CI
  • AI Gateway — a secure, HIPAA-eligible gateway for using LLMs with PHI in production, with request logging and access controls built in
