Scalr is an open source web based cloud computing management platform for managing cloud infrastructure from Amazon Web Services. The project was started in April 2008 by Intridea to provide scalable infrastructure for MediaPlug. It is now maintained at Google Code. Scalr provides, according to one source, "90% of the features, at 10% of the price" of main competitor RightScale.

Scalr received favorable reviews since the code was first made freely available under the GPL v2 license, including TechCrunch, HighScalability , the official AWS blog , and CNet , as well as private blogs.

Scalr is available as a pay service since mid-2008 at Scalr.net. The special beta pricing of $50/month for this service ended August 15th, and is now $99/month.
