Top 23 PaaS Open-Source Projects

  • Dokku

    A docker-powered PaaS that helps you build and manage the lifecycle of applications

  • Project mention: Hosting old Node Projects 👴🏼 | dev.to | 2024-04-25

    If you want to dig into it anyways, Dokku is an interesting mention. They provide an Open Source PaaS that you can install on your server to simplify self hosting containers.

  • OpenFaaS

    OpenFaaS - Serverless Functions Made Simple

  • Project mention: Serverless Functions, Made Simple | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-11
  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • CapRover

    Scalable PaaS (automated Docker+nginx) - aka Heroku on Steroids

  • Project mention: CapRover : Dumb name, awesome tool | dev.to | 2024-01-12

    Finally, I kinda wonder if CapRover is still alive. As I write this it has been over 60 days since there has been any activity on their GitHub.

  • stack-on-a-budget

    A collection of services with great free tiers for developers on a budget. Sponsored by Mockoon, the best mock API tool. https://mockoon.com

  • Project mention: Stack on a Budget | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-21
  • Openshift Origin

    Conformance test suite for OpenShift

  • kubevela

    The Modern Application Platform.

  • Project mention: Is there any Django app deployment tool for VPS-based environments with UI? | /r/django | 2023-05-09
  • shuttle

    Build & ship backends without writing any infrastructure files.

  • Project mention: Prodzilla: From Zero to Prod with Rust and Shuttle | dev.to | 2024-02-21

    Moreover, I especially like where Rust is right now in the web space. It really feels like there’s a lot of smart people working on the next generation of web development tools - it feels like the place to be. There are a range of great open-source web dev tools that are just reaching critical levels of maturity. Axum, which I used to build Prodzilla, feels ready for out of the box web dev, and is crazy-performant, as I write about later. More recently available is Loco, a Rails-like framework for building web applications in Rust that's picking up steam. And in dev-tooling and hosting there’s Shuttle, a 1-line hosting solution for Rust backends.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

    I could provide a big overview of how Knative works, but in this little tutorial I want to show you the basic installation and configuration and how to deploy your first Knative service.

  • porter

    Kubernetes powered PaaS that runs in your own cloud.

  • Project mention: Porter Cloud – PaaS you can eject | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-27

    Hi HN, this is Trevor and Justin from Porter (https://porter.run). We first launched on HN almost 3 years ago with our original product, which deploys your applications to your own AWS, Azure, or GCP account with the simple experience of a PaaS. (original launch post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26993421).

    We’re excited to show you something new - we’ve built Porter Cloud (https://porter.run/porter-cloud), a hosted Platform as a Service (PaaS) that you can eject from. It works just like conventional PaaS’s that deploys your apps with a few clicks, but it lets you eject to your own AWS, Azure, or GCP account as you scale.

    Since launching Porter in 2021, we helped migrate a lot of companies from a PaaS to AWS, Azure, and GCP. Most of these companies had gotten started on these platforms in the early days to optimize for speed and ease of use, but ultimately had to go through a painful migration to one of the big three cloud providers as they scaled and outgrew the original platform.

    Interestingly, we learned that many startups that deploy on a PaaS are fully aware that they’ll have to migrate to the big three clouds at some point. Yet they choose to deploy on a PaaS anyway because outgrowing a cloud platform is a champagne problem when they're focused on getting something off the ground. This, however, becomes a very real problem when you start running into technical constraints and it is difficult to migrate your production environment while serving users.

    We’ve built Porter Cloud so you can deploy the earliest versions of the product as quickly as possible, with a peace of mind that you can eject to the tried and true hyperscalers later. When you need to eject, you can follow a few simple steps to migrate your workloads to AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud with minimal downtime.

    If you’re curious how it works, please drop your questions below. And if you’ve ever dealt with a migration from a PaaS to one of the big three cloud providers, we’d love to hear about your experience in the comments. Looking forward to it!

    The tiniest PaaS you've ever seen. Piku allows you to do git push deployments to your own servers.

  • Project mention: Show HN: Hancho – A simple and pleasant build system in ~500 lines of Python | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-03

    I like it. I wrote Piku (https://github.com/piku/piku) with much the same interest in fixing some of my pains, so I get where you're coming from with this. Will drop it into one of my current projects to build ESP32 binaries :)

  • 1Backend

  • Project mention: Otomi – Self-Hosted PaaS for Kubernetes | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-07-20
  • kubero

  • Project mention: Simplest approach to Kubernetes on dedicated servers? (for CI/CD) | /r/hetzner | 2023-10-04

    For deploying your apps you could use something like Kubero (https://github.com/kubero-dev/kubero)

  • rack

    Private PaaS built on native AWS services for maximum privacy and minimum upkeep (by convox)

  • Project mention: Migrating from Heroku to EKS | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-06-14

    I would encourage anyone looking at porter that needs more flexibility, a deeper feature set, a more extensive cli, and/or flatter pricing structure to check out convox [https://convox.com]. I've been using it for years on top of EKS and have been able to defer hiring a dedicated dev ops person.
