Hi HN! Porter Cloud (https://porter.run/porter-cloud) is a Platform as a Service (PaaS) like Heroku, but we make it easy for you to migrate to AWS, Azure, or GCP when you're ready. Like Heroku, Porter takes care of a lot of generic DevOps work for you (like setting up CI/CD, containerizing your applications, autoscaling, SSL certificates, setting up a reverse proxy) and lets you deploy your apps with a few clicks — saving you a lot of time while developing. However, as you probably know, there’s a downside: platforms like this become constraining if and when your app…

Construct Computerfree tier, from $9/mo▲369We are building Construct Computer a cloud OS where autonomous AI agents ("Constructs") live and do your day to day work. You can observe them in real-time through a desktop OS frontend. The idea is agent-native infrastructure: instead of agents being API calls, they're persistent processes with their own compute, storage, and network identity. With integrations with a vast ecosystem of business tools, the Construct Agent can do anything from scheduling meetings, preparing documents, to deep researching the web, join meetings, and automate long running business operations with minimal human…

Hello, Stacktape CEO here. As a full-stack developer, I was looking for an easy way to deploy and host my applications for years. I could go with Kubernetes and Terraform. But the complexity of running this in production can be overwhelming even for a team of dedicated DevOps specialists. Or I could go with Heroku. But I’m not willing to pay 5-10 times more for my infrastructure just because my app was easier to deploy. I could also choose Serverless framework. But If my use case requires more than Lambda functions, I need to read through 100s of pages of AWS documentation figuring out how…

Hi HN! We’re Yann, Edouard, and Bastien from Koyeb (https://www.koyeb.com/). We’re building a platform to let you deploy full-stack apps on high-performance hardware around the world, with zero configuration. We provide a “global serverless feeling”, without the hassle of re-writing all your apps or managing k8s complexity [1]. We built Scaleway, a cloud service provider where we designed ARM servers and provided them as cloud servers. During our time there, we saw customers struggle with the same issues while trying to deploy full-stack applications and APIs resiliently. As…
