Jets review
A Ruby-focused AWS Lambda deployment service with release history and rollback.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Jets is a deployment service for Ruby applications that packages and deploys Rails, Sinatra, Hanami, and other Rack apps to AWS Lambda in the customer's AWS account. It is aimed at developers and teams that want to run existing Ruby applications serverlessly on AWS, rather than teams seeking a general-purpose framework or a Kubernetes deployment path. A browser dashboard provides an app overview, while release history and rollback commands help manage deployments over time.
The pricing model is a two-week trial followed by Pro at $30 per stack per month, billed monthly. The trial is for new users, requires no credit card, and allows unlimited stacks during the trial period; it is not an ongoing free plan. Pro includes unlimited deploys and is described for developers and teams. AWS infrastructure charges are paid separately to AWS, so the per-stack subscription is not the full cost of operating an application. Teams with multiple deployed stacks should account for that recurring subscription alongside their AWS bill.
Jets' strongest fit is its Ruby-to-Lambda deployment workflow and AWS ecosystem connections. It supports CI automation, including CodeBuild-based workflows, Docker image builds and pushes to ECR, and CloudFront distributions for functions and assets; Web Application Firewall protection is also listed. The release history and rollback features suit teams that want deployment controls around Lambda releases. Choose Jets when the application is already in Rails, Sinatra, Hanami, or Rack and AWS Lambda is the target. Teams that need broader cloud targets, Kubernetes support, or a permanent free tier should consider alternatives; the published offer is centered on AWS and a paid per-stack plan after the trial.
