Porter - Heroku that runs in your own cloud

Hi everyone! 👋 Thanks @mwseibel for hunting us. Our goal with Porter is to provide the best parts of a PaaS like Heroku while keeping the benefits of a mature cloud provider like AWS or GCP. We believe most startups shouldn't have to worry about cloud management / DevOps. Heroku-like platforms are great for this: a repo goes in one end and a hosted application comes out the other. Unfortunately, this automation tends to come with a hefty price tag, and as you grow (and inevitably need more control), you're locked out of the underlying infra since you're hosting in someone else's cloud. Porter deploys everything to your own AWS/GCP cloud, so you can always go under the hood when necessary (and even use your cloud credits 💰). Here are some key features: - Deploy directly from a Git repo or a Docker registry - Built-in SSL - Built-in autoscaling - Zero downtime automated deploys - Add-ons and applets for databases, logging, analytics, etc. - Runs on Kubernetes and can connect to an existing cluster - "DevOps mode" for advanced users (includes a graph view of resources) - 100% open source and MIT licensed Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! If you're interested in tracking our progress, we'd love if you could watch/star 🌟 our repo. You can also join our Discord community and follow us on Twitter. P.S. We're hiring!

I’ve been fortunate to be one of Porter’s early beta testers and I gotta admit — they probably have the best PaaS solution, both operation- and capacity-wise, as well as cost-wise, especially if you have AWS credits. 100% would recommend trying out!! 🤩

@khu, myself, & friends have been on porter for a few weeks now. Great experience for small teams and founders are superstar people! +1 a hundred times over

Been using Porter for a bit now, they've made the process of spinning up EKS clusters in AWS dead simple. Their UX is very well designed and easy to work with. Congrats guys!

Great job, @justin_rhee1 ! Congrats on the launch!

Wow! Such a great product. I will definitely try this with my digitalOcean cloud.

Porter is a must-have tool for someone who wants to build scalable apps without having to invest a lot of time figuring out and learning cloud infra and dev-ops Shoutout to @sunguroku1 at Porter who has been more than accommodating in helping us deploy our app on K8's despite my lack of proficiency in it.

This is really cool! Love this.

Great product, very intuitive and solid!

Looks solid. Congrats on launch!
