In the last few years, businesses need to use the opportunities offered by technology in the most efficient way in order to keep up with rapidly changing market conditions and gain competitive advantage. Cloud technologies come to the fore in this context and allow companies to manage their infrastructures in a more flexible, cost-effective and secure way. At this point, platforms such as Jelastic are critical to accelerate the digital transformation processes of businesses.
Jelastic offers not only Platform as a Service (PaaS) but also Container as a Service (CaaS) solution, helping developers deploy their applications easily and quickly. Founded in 2011, Jelastic offers an ideal platform for applications running in popular programming languages such as Java, PHP, Ruby, Node.js and Python. In this article, you will find detailed information about the services offered by Jelastic, as well as its advantages, usage scenarios and target audience.
What is Jelastic?
Jelastic is a cloud-based platform and offers businesses, developers, and software teams the ability to easily deploy, manage, and scale their applications. It is designed to enable the user to accelerate the application development process, especially with PaaS (Platform as a Service) and CaaS (Container as a Service) solutions. Jelastic enables technology transformation by hosting legacy traditional applications and new cloud-based microservices in the same environment.
This platform offers a cost-effective option for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) while also providing flexibility and security for large enterprises. While Jelastic allows users to develop customized solutions according to their needs, it also reduces costs thanks to the automatic management of resources. For example, a company developing an application on Jelastic can instantly request the resources necessary to increase the performance of this application and thus speed up its business processes.
What is the situation in terms of security?
Key Features and Benefits
- User-Friendly Interface and Automated Provisioning: Jelastic has a user-friendly interface that allows users to accelerate application development and deployment processes. Application environments can be set up in minutes with the topology wizard or tools such as API, SSH and CLI, reducing time loss. In this way, software developers can focus more on their projects.
- Zero Code Change Deployment: Jelastic enables legacy monolithic applications and next-generation cloud-based microservices to be deployed without code changes; Thus, businesses have the advantage of switching to new technologies without disrupting business continuity. This feature facilitates the management of especially large and complex systems.
- Automatic Vertical and Horizontal Scaling: Jelastic provides cost efficiency and performance increase to businesses by automatically allocating resources according to the load level. Users can use their budgets more efficiently by paying only for the resources they actually need. For example, an e-commerce site may automatically receive more resources during peak sales periods.
- Managed Clustered Solutions: Pre-packaged solutions offered on the Jelastic Marketplace can be deployed quickly with minimal effort; Popular solutions such as WordPress, MySQL or Kubernetes can be implemented in a few clicks. This allows developers to get a jump start on their projects.
- Multi-Cloud and Multi-Region Support: Jelastic, which offers multi-cloud and regional support to its users thanks to having more than 100 data centers around the world, provides significant advantages to businesses in terms of flexibility and business continuity. In this way, businesses can reduce their risks by distributing their data across different geographical regions.
- Open API Support: Jelastic makes the application development process even easier with the open API support it offers to developers. Thanks to these APIs, users can develop customized solutions according to their needs. Developers can integrate their own applications faster.
Usage Scenarios
Think of it this way:
Jelastic makes significant contributions to the application development process in many different sectors. For example, a digital agency can quickly develop web applications for its clients using Jelastic. Thanks to this platform, the agency can deliver its projects on time and increase customer satisfaction without unnecessary waste of time. Additionally, thanks to the auto-scaling feature offered by Jelastic, agencies can quickly respond to customer demands.
Here’s the nice thing:
The majority of our customers prefer this solution.
Services for independent software vendors (ISVs) are another example. ISVs can quickly develop and bring cloud-based applications to market with Jelastic. In addition, thanks to the automatic scaling provided by the platform, it is possible to manage resources dynamically according to the load of the applications. This contributes greatly to the acceleration of the software development process.
The solutions offered by Jelastic are also very useful in the e-commerce sector. An e-commerce company can leverage Jelastic’s auto-scaling feature to increase the performance of their applications and improve customer experience during peak sales periods. In this way, they can adequately respond to customer demands even during periods of heavy traffic. For example, during busy sales periods such as Black Friday, businesses can reach high sales figures without losing performance, thanks to the automatic resource management offered by Jelastic.
How Does It Work?
Jelastic works by combining virtual machines (VMs) with container technologies. When users log in to the Jelastic platform, they can create an environment that suits their needs by choosing from pre-configured application templates for various programming languages. Jelastic automatically allocates the necessary resources in this process and allows users to deploy their applications in a few clicks. This allows developers to save time and effort.
Don’t worry, it’s not complicated.
Thanks to automatic resource management, Jelastic dynamically allocates resources according to load levels determined by users. This feature helps businesses use resources more efficiently and reduce costs. As application performance increases, Jelastic automatically allocates more resources, ensuring users have a smooth experience. For example, when an application receives heavy user traffic, Jelastic automatically allocates more resources to prevent performance degradation.
Who Should Use It?
The services offered by Jelastic are particularly suitable for SMEs, digital agencies, independent software vendors (ISVs) and e-commerce businesses. Small and medium-sized businesses can choose Jelastic for a strong IT infrastructure with limited budgets. It can also support large organizations to accelerate their digital transformation processes by providing flexible and scalable solutions.
Let’s give a practical example.
In addition, technology companies and software developers can develop and commission their own projects faster thanks to the user-friendly interface and APIs provided by Jelastic. Jelastic simplifies development processes by providing an ideal solution for such users. The advantages provided by Jelastic are especially valuable in projects that require rapid prototyping.

Balance of Performance and Security
As network security increases, performance decreases — this is an old myth. In a properly designed network, both are possible. The problem is that security devices become bottlenecks. Next-gen firewalls can inspect traffic at wire-speed with hardware acceleration.
SD-WAN technology optimizes the internet access of branch offices. We have customers who reduce costs by 60% by using broadband instead of MPLS. Moreover, thanks to application-based routing, critical traffic always gets priority.
Restricting lateral movement within the network with micro-segmentation is a must for modern security architecture. Even if the attacker infiltrates a point, his movement space is minimized.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should we switch to SD-WAN?
If you have 3+ branches and MPLS costs are high, yes. SD-WAN establishes a VPN-like secure connection using your existing internet lines. Application-based traffic routing ensures the performance of critical business applications.
Why is network segmentation important?
In a flat network structure, leakage at one point spreads to the entire system. You narrow the attack surface by segmenting with VLAN and micro segmentation. Regulations such as PCI DSS also require this.
