Simple cloud deployments with CD as-a-Service
Hey folks, I'm Ben from Armory.io (YC W17). We just launched Continuous Deployment-as-a-Service (CDaaS) to make it easy for developers to deploy their apps safely to the cloud. We’d greatly appreciate (raw, candid) feedback from the HN community if this solution improves the speed at which you deploy to production. We have a free-forever tier that gives you up to 25 Application Targets[1] (our unit of scale for pricing). Try it here: https://www.armory.io/products/continuous-deployment-as-a-se...

In plain words
Armory.io offers Continuous Deployment-as-a-Service, a cloud deployment platform designed to help developers deploy applications safely and quickly to production. Built on Spinnaker, the service provides workflow orchestration for managing deployments across cloud environments. It targets development teams seeking faster deployment speeds with reduced operational complexity. A free-forever tier supports up to 25 application targets, allowing developers to try the platform before upgrading to paid plans.

Hey folks, I'm Ben from Armory.io (YC W17). We just launched Continuous Deployment-as-a-Service (CDaaS) to make it easy for developers to deploy their apps safely to the cloud. We’d greatly appreciate (raw, candid) feedback from the HN community if this solution improves the speed at which you deploy to production. We have a free-forever tier that gives you up to 25 Application Targets[1] (our unit of scale for pricing). Try it here: https://www.armory.io/products/continuous-deployment-as-a-se... Our Story We’ve been helping large companies with CD since 2016 by selling them our distribution of Spinnaker (spinnaker.io, originally Netflix OSS). We’ve learned three big lessons: One reason developers are drawn to Spinnaker is because it provides an imperative approach to orchestrating deployment workflows Operating Spinnaker “on-prem” (usually in the customer’s AWS account) requires significant effort Doing true continuous deployment to production requires the use of advanced strategies to mitigate risk These learnings inspired us to build CDaaS and make it easy for developers to employ well-understood deployment strategies like blue/green and canary deployments without having to write custom code. With CDaaS, our aim is to deliver many of the features developers rely on from Spinnaker, but in a declarative manner that supports the GitOps approach they know and use extensively. CDaaS currently supports deployments to Kubernetes but we’re adding additional cloud providers quickly (AWS, GCP, Azure, etc) How It Works Connect any number of Kubernetes clusters to our central control plane by installing a lightweight network agent. Once connected, you can configure your application deployment logic in a declarative YAML file that can be checked in alongside your app’s source code. Deployments can be invoked from our CLI which allow you to use your existing CI platform (Jenkins, Github Actions, CircleCI, etc) to trigger a deployment. Monitor deployments (and take additional action like rolling back, if needed) from our UI.

Hello, HN - I wanted to share this puzzle game I made during my vacation. I'm rather fond of the pipes puzzle where your goal is to restore a scrambled network of connections by rotating tiles. It's usually played on a grid of squares and this all started when I decided to make a programmatic solver for that kind of puzzle. Then I realized that with some minor changes the solver could generate new puzzle instances. I thought about what kind of puzzle to make and someone suggested a hexagonal grid. Adapting the generator wasn't too hard but then I had to create a way to play this variant. So…

We're building Parsnip to create a "tech tree" of cooking skills that allows anyone to level up on the building blocks of cooking knowledge while tracking their progress over time. It took us a few iterations to figure out the right product; here's the story of our latest pivot: [https://parsnip.substack.com/p/a-new-hope] The goal is to create a personalized way to learn any recipe on the Internet, then use this as a springboard to help home cooks of all levels solve the problem of repeated meal planning in a 10x better way:…
