Can we use OpenShift Express, which is free right now, for commercial web applications?

And if not, then which PAAS services are there which are free, and have no vendor lock-in.

What OpenShift used for?

Red Hat OpenShift is a cloud-based Kubernetes platform that helps developers build applications. It offers automated installation, upgrades, and life cycle management throughout the container stack — the operating system, Kubernetes and cluster services, and applications — on any cloud.

Who should use OpenShift?

OpenShift helps you to develop, deploy, and manage container-based applications. It provides you with a self-service platform to create, modify, and deploy applications on demand, thus enabling faster development and release life cycles. Think of images as cookie cutters and containers as the actual cookies.

Is OpenShift widely used?

Learn the key differences between OpenShift and Kubernetes and how container orchestration automates software workloads for better application experience. OpenShift and Kubernetes are the most widely used container orchestration software options available today.

You can use OpenShift Express for commercial web apps but be sure it will meet your requirements. Potential issues include:

  • currently no outgoing email support
  • currently applications do not scale to accommodate load
  • 1GB disc space limit
  • shared hosting
  • limit 3 cartridges (DB, metrics, etc) per app
  • no official support from Red Hat. Documentation is good and community forum support is very active.

OpenShift would meet many commercial site requirements. I think it's a great option. For more info read the FAQ.
