  • Show HN: Hatchet – Open-source distributed task queue
    22 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 8 Mar 2024
    Yep, we're backed by YC in the W24 batch - this is evident on our landing page [1].

    We're both second time CTOs and we've been on both sides of this, as consumers of and creators of OSS. I was previously a co-founder and CTO of Porter [2], which had an open-core model. There are two risks that most companies think about in the open core model:

    1. Big companies using your platform without contributing back in some way or buying a license. I think this is less of a risk, because these organizations are incentivized to buy a support license to help with maintenance, upgrades, and since we sit on a critical path, with uptime.

    2. Hyperscalers folding your product in to their offering [3]. This is a bigger risk but is also a bit of a "champagne problem".

    Note that smaller companies/individual developers are who we'd like to enable, not crowd out. If people would like to use our cloud offering because it reduces the headache for them, they should do so. If they just want to run our service and manage their own PostgreSQL, they should have the option to do that too.

    Based on all of this, here's where we land on things:

    1. Everything we've built so far has been 100% MIT licensed. We'd like to keep it that way and make money off of Hatchet Cloud. We'll likely roll out a separate enterprise support agreement for self hosting.

    2. Our cloud version isn't going to run a different core engine or API server than our open source version. We'll write interfaces for all plugins to our servers and engines, so even if we have something super specific to how we've chosen to do things on the cloud version, we'll expose the options to write your own plugins on the engine and server.

    3. We'd like to make self-hosting as easy to use as our cloud version. We don't want our self-hosted offering to be a second-class citizen.

    Would love to hear everyone's thoughts on this.

  • Launch HN: Nullstone (YC W22) – An easier way to deploy and manage cloud apps
    2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 5 Sep 2023
    Co-founder of Porter (https://porter.run) here - we do not use Terraform under the hood. We moved away from an IaC based system earlier this year to better manage our users' infrastructure distributed across multiple cloud accounts. A decision that definitely turned out to be conveniently prescient :)

    With this new system, we are also able to immediately reconcile drifts that occur in our user's infrastructure, which an IaC based system did not allow us to do.

  • Serving 250k Developers with One Support Engineer

    Aptible hosts (and pays for) AWS resources on your behalf, similar to Heroku/Render/Railway. Last year, we built support for integrating Aptible into your own AWS account, but only a handful of existing customers are currently using that, and it's not available in the product by default. I'd be interested to learn why you prefer this model. If you're willing to chat about it, my email is in my profile.

    Alternatively, have you checked out other PaaS-in-your-own-IaaS solutions like:

    - https://porter.run/

    - https://www.flightcontrol.dev/

    - https://coolify.io/ (OSS, not managed)

    These might not meet all your needs, and I think they're all relatively new.

    Porter (YC S20) | Full Time | Full-Stack Engineer | NYC or Remote | https://porter.run

    Hey HN, I'm Alexander, co-founder of Porter. We're building Heroku in your own cloud - we let users link up their own AWS/GCP, point to the code they want to run, and then put the rest of the hosting process on autopilot (CI/CD, SSL, autoscaling, zero downtime deploys, infra monitoring, etc).

    We're hiring NYC-based or remote engineers that are passionate about building tools for developers. As we're a fast-growing seed-stage startup, you should be comfortable with regularly shifting priorities and iterating at a very high (daily) velocity.

    Tech stack: Go, Typescript, React, Kubernetes, AWS

    If you'd like to take a look at our codebase, we're open source - check it out at https://github.com/porter-dev/porter.

    Open positions:

    - Kubernetes Engineer: https://www.workatastartup.com/jobs/45970

    - Full-stack Engineer: https://www.workatastartup.com/jobs/43716

    Honestly you should checkout open source + self-host alternatives like porter (https://github.com/porter-dev/porter). I tried it in a project before and the developer experience was surprisingly good.

    Porter (YC S20) | Full Time | Full-Stack Engineer | Remote or NYC | https://porter.run

    Hey HN, I'm Alexander, co-founder of Porter (https://porter.run). We're building Heroku in your own cloud. We let users link up their own AWS/GCP, point to the code they want to run, and then put the rest of the hosting process on autopilot (CI/CD, SSL, autoscaling, zero downtime deploys, infra monitoring, etc).

    We're hiring engineers that are passionate about building tools for developers. If you have some experience with either Typescript or Go, or you're very interested in this space, we'd love to talk with you. As we're a fast-growing seed-stage startup, you should be comfortable with regularly shifting priorities and iterating at a very high (daily) velocity.

    Some of the technical challenges we face:

    * Abstracting Kubernetes - any PaaS spans a variety of use cases, so building a consistent and useful layer of abstraction requires constant awareness of the needs of many user profiles.

    * Cloud Agnosticism - one of Porter's main benefits is that you get the same interface for managing services regardless of where you host. Our job is to reduce multi-cloud infrastructure complexity to a unified interface.

    * Auto-Generated Frontend - each of our app/add-on templates uses a form.yaml file that programmatically generates a settings UI on the dashboard using a library of our own input primitives. Designing, expanding, and testing the functionality of these templates is non-trivial.

    3 projects | /r/PostgreSQL | 7 Nov 2022
    I understand why you might want to find a free solution, but I wanted to share that Render (where I work) has managed Postgres. You can use it for free for 90 days before deciding if you want to upgrade to a paid plan. I'd recommend a managed instance for a production environment.
  • How to deploy nuxt 3 project on a cPanel Shared Hosting Server
    2 projects | /r/Nuxt | 3 Nov 2022
    Not sure if cpanel has this capability but railway.app, render.com, cleavr + aws or digital ocean droplet, coolify(open source) has the capability to set this up for you automatically. If you want to self host ssr manually, you'll need a aws ec2, digital ocean droplet, vultr server or linode server, then install nginx and nodejs, then setup your nuxt server.
  • Deploying FastAPI application to Render
    4 projects | dev.to | 1 Nov 2022
    Recently, I came to know that Heroku is going to stop supporting free services. I have almost all the projects running in Heroku and I never tried any services. Many people pointed out that Render is the best free alternative to the Heroku. So I am giving it a try by hosting a FastAPI application. Render seems to directly support python frameworks like Flask, Django etc as their documentation mentions them. But we should be able to host FastAPI app as it supports building any python app, we just need to change the starting command. Let's get into it without wasting another minute.
