OpenRun runs on a single machine, with either Docker or Podman. All apps runs on that one machine. Idle apps are scaled down to zero, so resource usage is low even when hundreds of apps are installed. For scaling up, OpenRun can be deployed on Kubernetes. Each app deployed through OpenRun gets created as a Kubernetes deployment, again with scaling down to zero. Same declarative config moves from singe node to Kubernetes, no changes required. I don't have any telemetry, so not sure about number of users. Based on issues filed, lots of users using the single node deployment (which is good enough for most use cases). Started with Streamlit/Gradio type apps, now users are actually using it for deploying vibe coded internal tools.

IMO you should evolve also as a central platform to host AND build internal tools (eg with agents). Have you considered that? EDIT oh snap I see in the console tour that there's an AI App Builder section. Ok gonna have to try this out then! Also does your git integration support self-hosted Bitbucket (I guess at the least generic git instance not just GitHub etc) ? Also, pretty cool that you have a FastHTML spec.. I built this (well AI mostly did) with FastHTML: https://hn-readtheroom.exe.xyz/ https://hn-readtheroom.exe.xyz/

  The agent based app builder is pretty new, still improving it. It runs with Agent Client Protocol (ACP), with integrations for Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode and Pi.

    Thanks! That's sounds excellent. I love the Shelley Web Agent ( https://GitHub.com/boldsoftware/Shelley https://GitHub.com/boldsoftware/Shelley ), but guessing it would be hard to integrate that into your platform (although would be amazing if you could). Also any feedback on the Git question?

      Custom agents can be added if it supports ACP, the console UI has the config options for that. I have tested with GitHub and GitLab. OpenRun uses the go-git library, so BitBucket should work, not tried it yet. FastHTML is great for internal tools use case.
