How to Run Powerful Cloud VMs Without Burning Your Budget
Cloud
TL;DR: Big cloud platforms are bloated, overpriced, and not built for you. Raff changes that. We give developers and small teams the power to spin up high-performance Linux or Windows VMs with flat pricing, zero surprises, and $200 in free credit to get started. The Problem with "Big Cloud"
AWS, Azure, GCP... you've heard the names. They offer every service imaginable. But if you're a developer, student, indie hacker, or small team, you're probably thinking:
"Why is it this complicated just to launch a VM?"
"What did I just get billed for?"
"Why do I need a certification to understand this dashboard?"
These platforms are built for enterprise whales, not lean builders. Their pricing models are intentionally confusing. Their onboarding is a maze. And their performance? Often locked behind additional layers of cost.
Why Raff Is the Cloud That Gets Out of Your Way
We built Raff because we were tired of the games. Developers deserve a cloud platform that:
Is fast to launch (60 seconds or less)
Offers flat pricing (no hidden costs, no per-second billing traps)
Supports real use cases (dev environments, testing labs, staging servers, side projects)
Comes with $200 in free credit, valid for 2 months
With Raff, you can launch a VM like it’s 2025—not 2005. No YAML. No surprises. No upsell popups mid-terminal session.
What Can You Actually Build on Raff?
With your free $200 credit, you can:
Deploy a full-stack React + Node.js app and test it live
Spin up a Python-based API with Jupyter, Flask, or FastAPI
Launch a Kali Linux instance for pentesting labs
Run a Windows Server for app compatibility testing
Set up staging environments for freelance or startup clients
And you can do it all in one click. No cloud certifications required.
Stop Burning Time and Budget
Cloud is supposed to empower builders. Not gatekeep them.
Raff is here to flip the script: predictable pricing, powerful machines, developer-first UX, and no fluff. Whether you're a solo dev, bootstrapping a product, or learning by building, we've made cloud infra feel like your own local playground—just way more powerful.
