    Appliku – Deployment PaaS for Python/Django▲71

    Hey everyone. I have dedicated 4 years of my life to building a solution for easy deployment of [primarily] Python and Django apps.

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.

    Build for any cloud with the same code▲54

    We have been working on Multy, an open-source[1] tool that enables developers to deploy and switch to any cloud - AWS, Azure and GCP for now. We realized that, even when using Terraform, writing infrastructure code is very different for each cloud provider. This means changing clouds or deploying the same infrastructure in multiple clouds requires rewriting the same thing multiple times. And even though most core resources have the same functionality, developers need to learn a new provider and all its nuances when choosing a new cloud. This is why we built Multy. Multy is currently…

    Uncloud – Uncomplicated container orchestration without control plane▲30

    Hey HN, I'm building Uncloud — a lightweight clustering and container orchestration tool that lets you deploy and manage web apps across cloud VMs and bare metal with minimal cluster management overhead. After several years of managing and extending Kubernetes at a unicorn, I realised that I desperately needed a change. All those abstraction layers, unnecessary complexity, boilerplate… I wanted container orchestration to bring me joy again, the way Ansible did when I first tried it a decade ago, or Docker after that. That’s when I decided to start an experiment that is now called Uncloud.…
