Open-source Railway, Render alternative running on Kubernetes clusters

In plain words

Agnost is an open-source platform that provides self-hosted deployment capabilities similar to Railway, Render, and Vercel. Users connect their GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket repositories, and Agnost automatically builds container images and deploys applications to Kubernetes clusters whenever code is pushed. Built on open-source tools including Tekton, Kaniko, and Registry, it's designed for developers who want to manage deployments on their own infrastructure rather than using commercial platform-as-a-service providers.

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hello everyone, We have been developing Agnost (https://agnost.dev) for some time and it has reached a point that we can share with the larger community. What is it? Agnost is an open-source self-hosted Railway.app, Render.com, Vercel.com, Netlify.com, etc. alternative running on Kubernetes clusters. You…

  Hacked together a service in Go https://github.com/xlab/cdn-s3-go that routes content request to any arbitrary S3-compatible bucket. Some infra providers are offering free egress, but buckets are only private (hello Railway), and not geo-distributed. An L4 balancer will cost a fortune (hello Cloudflare). cdn-s3-go solves this by looking up objects, generating a pre-signed URLs and redirecting the clients directly. Free egress, cheap public geo-distributed CDN!

  Hey HN, I'm Anurag, founder and CEO of Render, a cloud for application developers. We've just launched Render Workflows, a way to define durable tasks by decorating plain TypeScript or Python functions and running them on Render without operating queues, worker pools, retry logic, and state management. Code example below [1]. The use cases we have in mind include agent loops, ETL/data pipelines, billing flows, and other long-running jobs. The model is simple: mark an existing function as a Task, deploy the repo as a Workflow, then trigger runs from your application code or via our API.…

  Hey hacker news, we launched a few weeks ago as a GPT-powered chatbot for developer docs, and quickly realized that the value of what we’re doing isn’t the chatbot itself. Rather, it’s the time we save developers by automating the extraction of data from their SaaS tools (Github, Zendesk, Salesforce, etc) and helping transform it to contextually relevant chunks that fit into GPT’s context window. A lot of companies are building prototypes with GPT right now and they’re all using some combination of Langchain/Llama Index + Weaviate/Pinecone + GPT3.5/GPT4 as their stack for…

  Really, that's it: an open source and self-hostable alternative to Vercel, Render, Netlify, Laravel Cloud and the likes. Obviously simpler, but it should handle the basics pretty well: - Git-based deployments: Push to deploy from GitHub with zero-downtime rollouts and instant rollback. - Multi-language support: Python, Node.js (beta), PHP (soon)... basically anything that can run on Docker. - Environment management: Multiple environments with branch mapping and encrypted environment variables. - Real-time monitoring: Live and searchable build and runtime logs. - Team collaboration:…

  Hi 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…
