The new Galaxy: All Apps in One Cloud

Hey everyone :slight_smile:

On behalf of the team, I’d like to announce that Galaxy has been wholly rebuilt from the ground up!

We recently released a video introducing Galaxy’s new vision: all apps in one cloud.
Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0z9j9BMnODk

This new unified platform supports your favorite frameworks: Meteor, Express, Flask, Django, and more, with a seamless deployment experience.

What’s New:

  • Support for multiple frameworks
  • Streamlined deployment process
  • Simplified scaling
  • Improved developer experience

We’d love to hear your feedback as you try out the new platform!

Super excited to see Galaxy getting this kind of love — congrats to the team on the full rebuild! Hope this helps Meteor thrive long term too.

Quick questions:

  • What’s Galaxy built on under the hood? Is it using AWS, GCP, etc. via automation or are you folks running on bare metal / colo? Asking for a friend… (we might want to run “galaxy” on-prem in our air-gapped client environments to scale meteor…)
  • We do everything on our own metal and only dip into cloud for FedRamp / GovCloud stuff. Curious if Galaxy is positioned to support customers with those kinds of security needs?
  • Does Galaxy support compliance requirements like HIPAA, SOC 2, etc.?
  • How are you handling latency / placement groups if you are using cloud? We’ve had a hell of a time getting good latency between AWS resources / Azure resources. We ultimately gave up on using things like RDS because their managed databases were too far from the web servers to get decent latency.

Excited to see what’s next for Meteor Software!

Really cool to see Galaxy evolving beyond just Meteor support, the broader framework compatibility is d welcome move.

@wreiske brought up some great questions I’m also curious about, especially around compliance and deployment environments. We’ve run into similar latency issues with cloud-managed services, and I’d be interested to know if Galaxy lets users control infrastructure placement more granularly (e.g., region selection, affinity groups, etc.).
