Unlocking Cloud Potential: Embracing Saturn Cloud's Seamless and Efficient Platform
What do you like best about the product?
I have been using Saturn Cloud for several months now, and I have to say, I'm impressed with how simple and efficient it is. The fundamental unit of work in Saturn Cloud is the resource, and four types are available: Python Server, R Server, Deployment, and Job. These resources are designed to handle specific tasks, from development to deployment and data pipelines.
One of the best things about Saturn Cloud's resources is its simplicity. Each resource comprises a hardware configuration, a Docker image, some initialization scripts, git repositories, and secrets used to access data. This makes the resources transparent, so anything running in Saturn Cloud can also be run outside.
The Python and R workspaces are conducive as they host Jupyter and R Studio, respectively. SSH integration connects PyCharm, VS Code, or any other IDE to the workspace. These workspaces run on Docker images, and every workspace gets a persistent EBS volume attached so that anything users write to the home directory is preserved across restarts.
Deployments and jobs are designed for non-interactive servers, with deployments used to serve models, APIs, dashboards, and jobs used for data pipelines. Deployments and assignments have almost all the same configuration options as workspaces, so anything you develop within a workspace can be run as a deployment or job.
Saturn Cloud also offers attachments, such as images, Git repositories, secrets, IAM roles, Dask clusters, and shared folders, which can be attached to any resource. This flexibility allows users to convert workflows from one resource type to another easily.
Overall, Saturn Cloud's architecture is simple, efficient, and easy to use. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and versatile cloud service for their development, deployment, and data pipeline needs.

What do you dislike about the product?
While initially found the Hosted Pro Pay as You Go rates confusing and the costs somewhat expensive, I have to say that the benefits of Saturn Cloud's resources have made up for it. The different resource types, such as workspaces, deployments, and jobs, have been incredibly helpful in streamlining my workflow, and the service's ease of use and flexibility have been invaluable.
That being said, it would be helpful if Saturn Cloud could provide more transparent pricing and more precise communication around the costs associated with using the service. While I understand that the hosting prices are necessary to charge for the underlying AWS resources, having more visibility into these costs and how they relate to the Saturn Cloud price would be helpful.
Overall, I appreciate the functionality and simplicity of Saturn Cloud's architecture. While there is room for improvement in the pricing structure, I would still highly recommend the service to anyone looking for a reliable and versatile cloud service for their development, deployment, and data pipeline needs.

Saturn Cloud: A Game-Changer for Data Science and Machine Learning
What do you like best about the product?
Saturn Cloud is an excellent platform for data science and machine learning, with automation of DevOps and ML infrastructure engineering that frees data scientists to focus on analytics. The use of Dask to natively scale Python with advanced parallelism makes it easier to handle big data using familiar Python libraries. Cloud-hosted Jupyter notebooks allow teams to collaborate and work on projects in real-time, while high RAM and compute, GPUs, and distributed Dask clusters offer significant data processing capabilities. The ability to deploy models and dashboards using REST APIs facilitates easy sharing of work. The platform's compatibility with Python, R, or other languages and IDEs like VSCode and PyCharm make it versatile. Overall, Saturn Cloud is a game-changer for data science and machine learning, offering automation, scalability, collaboration, and compatibility.
What do you dislike about the product?
One area where Saturn Cloud could improve is by building a broader community around the platform. While Saturn Cloud is an excellent tool for data science and machine learning, having a community of like-minded individuals could make it even more powerful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Saturn Cloud is solving the problem of managing and scaling complex infrastructure required for data science and machine learning.
It has helped me get my research done for paper submission
What do you like best about the product?
Its ability to connect to my local vs code and its ability to work like a jupyter server instead of just serving a jupyter notebook
What do you dislike about the product?
The way that I don't support vscode in the jupyter server in the web version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
No software needs to be installed on our computer in order to function as at home or the university, regardless of the hardware that is available.
Because we don't always use the same computers or because some people don't have a computer powerful enough to install their program locally, this is a real benefit in the context of our studies. They can access them online thanks to Saturn cloud.

Great way to collaborate
What do you like best about the product?
Easy, affordable and well designed for any size of project. It is priced very reasonable and it is a joy to work with with
What do you dislike about the product?
It could add more types of payments or maybe more flexible ones
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Consideration
Comprehensive GPU experience
What do you like best about the product?
It was a truly plug-and-play experience. I needed to spin up a Dask with dedicated GPU compute fast, with all the standard python trimmings -- and Saturn delivered. Make mine Saturn!
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing as yet! IT was intuitive for me how to connect with Remote Explorer / ssh on VS Code, but I figured it out and then all was gravy. Uptime and availability is fine so far, and compute is snappy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I need to analyze large volumes of poorly-formatted legal and financial data, so I need to be able to spin up a GPU on demand. That's what I use Saturn for -- because my gaming PC is a decade out of date.
