    Hi HN, Package repositories don't need to be complicated. They're just static files: metadata indexes and the packages themselves. Yet somehow hosting your own feels like you need dedicated infrastructure and deep knowledge of obscure tooling. repogen is an SSG for package repos. Point it at your .deb/.rpm/.apk files, it generates the static structure, you upload to S3 or any web host. Done. $0.02/month to host packages for your whole team. It supports Debian, RPM, Alpine, Pacman, and Homebrew. Has incremental mode for updating repos without redownloading everything. Handles…

    Hi HN, I'm Mohammed, a technical founder who loves shipping and giving back to the community. I'm open-sourcing the full-stack engine that powers my B2B product, apflow.co. What it is: A production B2B starter with a Go backend and Next.js frontend. Both are fully Dockerized with separate containers. No Vercel. No Supabase. Deploy the whole thing on a $6 VPS, or split frontend and backend across different providers. You own the infrastructure. The problem I was solving: Every SaaS starter I evaluated had the same issue: they locked me into someone else's platform. Vercel for hosting.…

    Hey HN! I'm Jacob, one of the founders of Depot (https://depot.dev), a build service for Docker images, and I'm excited to show what we’ve been working on for the past few months: run GitHub Actions jobs in AWS, orchestrated by Depot! Here's a video demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VX5Z-k1mGc8, and here’s our blog post: https://depot.dev/blog/depot-github-actions-runners. While GitHub Actions is one of the most prevalent CI providers, Actions is slow, for a few reasons: GitHub uses underpowered CPUs, network throughput for cache and the…

    I built Shorlabs out of personal frustration. Frontend deployment with Vercel felt effortless, but deploying and managing backend infrastructure was consistently painful. I wanted the same experience for backend services: connect a GitHub repository and have everything else handled automatically. Shorlabs is a backend PaaS for Python and Node.js applications. It deploys, manages, and scales backend services on top of AWS Lambda, so developers don’t have to provision or maintain servers. The workflow is simple: connect GitHub, import a repository, configure, and deploy. Most backend PaaS…

    TL;DR - http://www.gemfury.com - pre-launch feedback appreciated Hello HN, In true hacker tradition, a tool built for ourselves often grows into a service of its own. In the past few months, we've been polishing our private RubyGem server into something that other Ruby developers can use. Today, I'd like to ask for your feedback on where we stand and whether we're "launch-ready". The service is called Gemfury and offers customers a private RubyGem repository in the cloud. The story is that many RubyGems are built as open source and solid infrastructure exists to develop and distribute those.…
