Show HN: Crowdfunding Cloud Resources with Kubernetes and Stripe
- lukeplato 8y agoHello! I wanted to share a side project I have been working on over the past few months. The aim of CloudFound is to support open-source/decentralized initiatives by crowdfunding and maintaining their cloud resources. It does this by using Kubernetes to manage cluster deployments, Stripe for processing payments, and Github for discussions, review, and versioning of configurations. K8 allows a resource to run workloads that can serve web applications, databases, or microservices - all available for shared public use. The app itself functions as a (self-referential) proof of concept since its cluster, deployment, and fundings are all managed by its own code. CloudFound is open-source and not-for-profit, I'm hoping to find more contributors before releasing the app with full functionality. For implementation details and a roadmap, please look over the repository [0]. I would appreciate any feedback you might have or features you'd like to see.
