When working on our startup Stacktape, we were struggling a lot to keep our public technical documentation up to date. AI didn't really help - correcting its mistakes was as hard as writing it ourselves. But then, we came up with an id

The cheapest way to deploy a container accessible over HTTP is to use web-service resource (which uses AWS ECS loadbalanced with HTTP-Api-Gateway, which is pay-per-use) and use EC2 launch type (cheapest instances are only a few $). Not sure

At https://stacktape.com , we're also in the same space. We're offering Heroku-like experience on top of your own AWS account. I like what you're doing. But, to behonst, it's a tough market. While the promise

It's completely true, and I AM ashamed for doing it. But it's a terrible time to be a PaaS founder, since there are very few new projects being started at the moment. Without exaggeration, I think there are somewhere between 10% a

I'm sorry for being a bit off-topic, but I'm a founder of a PaaS company myself, and I think that what we offer is a great alternative to Coolify for companies that need a more "managed" and reliable infra. https:/

Besides that, our UI supports everything you've mentioned... managing secrets, ENV vars, different configurations between stages, etc. You can also configure more advanced things, such as Alarms based on selected metrics, budgets based

To be honest, we don't 100% cover what you're looking for in an ideal world, as we have our own deployment engine. That being said, our deployment engine is pretty powerful (in terms of supported AWS infra resources), and it'

Shameless plug: at https://stacktape.com , we also do "Heroku-like PaaS experience" built on top of AWS. But we deploy directly to our user's AWS account.

Since DHH has been promoting the 'do-it-yourself' approach, many people have fallen for it. You're asking the right questions that only a few people know they need answers to. In my opinion, the closest thing to "reclaim

From what I've heard, the biggest selling point of GCP is its simplicity and easier development experience. Other than that, it's mostly inferior to AWS or even MS Azure. AWS is designed to be very flexible and configurable (examp

(Please take my opinion with a grain of salt, as I might be biased - I'm a founder at a startup that solves a very similar problem). The cloud (and by "cloud" I mostly mean AWS) in general is indeed insanely complex. Not only

I agree with some of the points you've mentioned, but I also think that there definitely are great use-cases for AWS Lambda, and that they are (especially when using a good deployment tool) a great option for many different types of ap

There's been a lot of complaints about Heroku recently, and I think there will be a lot more. I believe that Heroku under the Salesforce's management is a different product that a lot of developers are used to. It's now in a

The complexity and amount of AWS-specific knowledge required to efficiently use it is pretty much absurd. Even though AWS offers multiple different solutions (AWS SAM, Elastic Beanstalk, AWS CDK, AWS App Runner) that in theory should make c

For me, the main issues of low-code/no-code tools are: 1. Leaky abstractions. Our industry has been developing software for decades, and we almost generally agree that MVC-like architectures offer the best ratio of flexibility-to-produ
