Products that do what AWS Managed Containers Alternative does

Hey everyone, BreezyPod is an AWS App Runner alternative. We are built to be more inclusive to different workloads and budgets so customers can focus on their projects instead of spending hours migrating to and learning about ECS or EKS. Unlike app runner, we support free scale to zero, websockets, CPU & memory based scaling, and ARM instances. All new accounts can create 1 free pod for 24 hours. We would love to hear everyone's thoughts! - Website link: https://breezypod.dev/ - Demo: https://youtu.be/Ci-AKVKSQQI

    Hi guys, I've created an open source web builder framework (https://grapesjs.com) years ago, which I'm still maintaining, and now I'm excited to publish a side project based on it, Grapedrop (https://grapedrop.com). It's a simple web page builder which allows you to design and publish your web pages very quickly. The project is still in beta with a lot of stuff to improve but I'd really like to share it and hear what people think about it and maybe also get some constructive feedback.

    I am Romaric, CEO of Qovery (https://www.qovery.com) (Techstars Paris 2019). As an early-stage startup, I know how it can be painful to stay focus on our business. Especially when it comes to putting our apps online, that's precisely why, with my team of 7, we have created Qovery to help any company to deploy their apps on AWS in 30 minutes instead of months (no joke). We're still early stage, but: 1. More than 1200 developers and 10 companies are using Qovery . 2. We are financially backed by the co-founders of Datadog, Docker, PeopleDoc, and Contentsquare . Take a look at this…

    Dear startups, We've recently launched our service that helps deploy capacity across AWS EC2 spot to provide high availability and up to 90% discount on compute. Magic happens by us predicting spot prices and distributing capacity across dozens of uncorrelated Spot auctions to limit exposure to possible price spikes. As serial entrepreneurs we know first hand how important it is to iterate quickly and reducing the compute cost is one of the ways to approach it. If your company's AWS bill is significant (>$10k/month) and you have an interesting use case that we can discuss - we'd be…

    In my last project, I was struggling to create and monitor cron jobs. So, instead of creating hundreds of standalone scrips and executing them with cron, I decided to turn those scripts into multiple endpoints. Next, I created a single service that I could schedule HTTP requests to those endpoints and monitor its execution. No more scripts, now everything is endpoints that I can run manually at any time I turned this scheduler service into a Micro-SaaS so you don't have to build it yourself: beew.io I know you can Schedule HTTP requests with Zapier but come on... I will not pay 50 bucks for…

    Hey HN: Kaveh here, the founder of https://www.usage.ai/ We launched a new free tool to help engineers understand their AWS spend. Why? Because the way it's done now is a pain. DevOps and Software Engineers end up end up becoming cloud accountants or end up forking over a big % of their AWS bill for a tool to understand costs rather than focusing on business problems. Previous to founding Usage, I worked on high-performance computing research at JP Morgan Chase and as a software engineer at a number of smaller startups. Here's how this new tool works: It's fully self-serve and…

    Over the past few months, as we scaled our internal AI Agents, we hit a dead end: Running LLM-generated arbitrary code in Docker is basically running naked on security due to container escape risks. But using full traditional VMs takes minutes to boot and eats too much memory to support high-density concurrency. We loved the developer experience of SaaS sandboxes on the market, but they are closed-source, expensive, and have too high a barrier to entry for self-hosting. So, our team decided to build our own. After months of grinding, using RustVMM and KVM, we built a blazing-fast,…

    Hello Hacker News! We've been working on Convoy Playground [0], a tiny proxy and debugging tool which makes testing webhooks a breeze. If you've ever struggled with configuring or troubleshooting webhooks, we believe this tool will be a game changer for you. Convoy Playground provides a simple, intuitive, and powerful interface for testing, debugging and replaying webhooks. You can send HTTP requests to your specified endpoints, view and analyze the response in real-time, and even replay the requests as needed. The inspiration for this project came from the countless hours we've spent…

    Hi, over the past few months I've been working on this project: Numax is a small Rust runtime that does three things: it runs WebAssembly modules in a sandbox, has a built-in local key-value store, and syncs everything across nodes with CRDTs and gossip. Basically, you write a wasm module, run it on two machines, and they converge (I hope !). It's a decentralized system... I hope someone finds it interesting! There's a whitepaper I've put a lot into, and I think the code isn't bad either! I believe there's still room in this world for software that's fun and well made, and while building…

    Hi everyone, it’s Alex, Simon, Felipe and the team from Unikraft.io We have built kraft.cloud, a millisecond cloud platform, where apps and services cold start, scale to zero and autoscale in milliseconds, ensuring you never pay for idle, can efficiently cope with traffic peaks, and don’t have to deal with complex cold start issues. As of today we are now in open early access! The platform (and we) come from research in the area of lightweight virtualization — trying to ask the question of how efficient cloud platforms could (or should) be while still retaining strong, hardware-level…

    I'd like to share a project I've been working on for the past few months. It's a distributed workflow engine written entirely in Go. Some highlights: * Tasks are executed in a Docker container * Can run stand-alone or distributed * Highly extensible * Able to enforce limits (CPU/RAM) per task * Web UI Would love the get your feedback on it, and find out if this could be useful.

    Hi HN! I’m Zach, co-founder / CTO of Platform Engineering Labs. We’re building formae, an open-source IaC system that stays in sync with real infrastructure instead of relying on manually maintained state and drift detection. We’ve just shipped Kubernetes, Helm, and Terraform .tfvars support. The goal with this release was simple: make it easy to start using formae with infrastructure people already have. formae can now discover existing k8s workloads automatically and the ability to utilize existing Helm charts. Coming from Terraform / OpenTofu and already have variable…

    Been using it for about a year now in production, but rewrote it completely in golang. My first go project so far. I wanted to have something that would make my life easier. A lot of tools nowaday kinda push you towards functional deployments and that usually doesn't work for me since I like stuff like LiveView by Phoenix and Websocket stuff in general. Old vercel deployments back when they allowed to deploy docker containers was a godsend, but since they don't offer that anymore I had to use services like fly.io(which is amazing) or heroku. However I wanted something selfhosted that I could…

    Hi everyone, I'm Vasek (https://x.com/mlejva), the CEO of the company behind this - https://e2b.dev. The company is called E2B. We're an open-source (https://github.com/e2b-dev) devtool that makes it easy to run untrusted AI-generated code in our secure sandboxes. You can think of us as coding runtime for LLMs. You can self host us on GCP (https://github.com/e2b-dev/infra/blob/main/self-host.md) and we're working on AWS, then Azure, and any Linux machine. This repo is one of our open-source projects that we're…
