Show HN: Envirobly – Efficient App Hosting (envirobly.com)

6 points by klevo ↗ HN
This is my, fully bootstrapped, take on an application hosting platform. I designed it primarily for myself, to meet the following goals:

* Utilize the best parts of the cloud, leave expensive value added services behind. * Host anywhere in the world, close to your users. * Batteries included: backups, logging, monitoring, auto-scaling, containerization, databases. * Simple and user friendly.

The journey was tough. It took me round about 3 years to get everything just right. This goes against the conventional wisdom of getting something simple out quick. With a hosting platform however, in my mind, reliability, stability and certain maturity are a must have from the start.

I definitely need to work on the presentation, it's barely covering the basics. But you have to start somewhere :-)

I'd love to hear some critique from the community. Thanks!

What's the secret sauce of undercutting AWS prices? Grouping workloads together on EKS/ECS but presenting them as instances maybe?

Also, this looks like it is primarily aimed at new businesses who want to run ultra-cheap. How do you plan on keeping customers as they scale and mature?

Just a quick feedback on the UI: really like the theme, it feels lightweight and efficient.

Congrats on shipping!
