Elestio – Managed platform for over 150 open-source software stacks
Hello Hacker News! We're Joseph, Kieran and David from elestio (https://elest.io/). We've built a platform that offers open-source software as a managed service - we take care of the OS and app updates, security, SSL, networking, backups, the whole deal. In 2009, we started deploying open-source software for websites and web apps we built, many for SMB and enterprise customers. Our process was basically: spin up VM's from a hosting provider, install the software we needed, then update it manually / when it was needed / critical, etc. Once we hit > 100…
Elestio – Managed platform for over 150 open-source software stacks launched on February 23, 2022 with 108 votes, #312 of 2,645 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches.
In plain words
Elestio is a managed hosting platform for over 150 open-source software stacks. It handles operating system and application updates, security patches, SSL certificates, networking, and backups automatically. The service is designed for developers and businesses that want to deploy open-source applications without managing infrastructure maintenance themselves. Built by developers who previously managed these deployments manually at scale, Elestio aims to simplify the operational overhead of running multiple open-source services.

Kodosumi2025 · kodosumi.io · ▲167Hi Hacker News, I’m part of the team behind Kodosumi. We built it because deploying agentic services in production was much harder than building proof-of-concepts. Many frameworks let you build agents, but when you want them to run long tasks, scale across machines, or be observed/monitored reliably, things fall apart. Kodosumi is our answer to that. It’s an open-source runtime that uses Ray + FastAPI + Litestar to let you: Deploy “agents” and “flows” and expose APIs easily, with minimal config (just one YAML) Scale horizontally for bursty workloads and long-running tasks without losing…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
