    Hey everyone. I have dedicated 4 years of my life to building a solution for easy deployment of [primarily] Python and Django apps. Think of it as an equivalent of Laravel Forge/Hatchbox but for Python apps. For those who are not familiar – Platform as a service on your cloud or on-prem servers. I have posted here 2 years ago and a lot has changed since then. What's new: - New great and easy to use dashboard - backups for databases - cronjobs - stats resources of servers and apps - tons of stability improvements.

    Hi HN, my name is Maria, and I’m a co-founder of Maritime. We started Maritime at MIT to build infrastructure for companies that need to run thousands of isolated AI agents for their customers. Imagine you set up an agent like OpenClaw, or a personal assistant agent with a custom framework, and want to give a separate version of it to every customer/friend. Each customer needs their own agent running in an isolated microVM, with persistent state, secrets, triggers, and sleep/wake behavior. Building such scalable and secure infra will take you months and will cost hundreds of…

    Hi, founder of Okteto here! We’ve been experimenting with AI agents in our workflows at Okteto. Running them locally worked at first, but quickly became painful. git worktrees, multiple terminals, and messy context switches slowed us down.

Each agent runs in its own containerized environment on your infrastructure, with the services, tools, and policies it needs. You can spin up agents with a single click or API call. No local setup. No git worktrees. The beta…

Pocketbase has almost everything an indie developer needs, supporting database, authentication, and file storage into a single, easy-to-deploy executable. Combined with HTMX, and you can created a full stack web application without bloated front end frameworks. That being said,…
