Foundry

Hi folks 👋! We got the idea to build Foundry this summer when we were building multiple projects in a row. We realized that we were building the same backend functionality again and again and it always took from hours to days. We wanted to create a tool that would solve this problem for developers. We eventually came with an idea of having prebuilt pipelines that developers could configure and then deploy onto their own backend hosted on Firebase or GCP. The way it works is that you create a service account with the required permission the pipeline needs, we then act as that service account and deploy the code onto your backend. Every pipeline is open-sourced and has a list of permissions that requires. That way you can check the code before you deploy it onto your app. One of my favorite pipelines is a search functionality for your Firestore database using Algolia - https://foundryapp.co/pipelines/.... It literally takes just 3 minutes to integrate it into your app. All your documents in a collection are indexed automatically when created/updated/deleted. To get the search results, you just need to call one cloud function from your frontend and that's it. Currently, we support only Firebase and Google Cloud Platform. Our goal is to support all major platforms in the future. Feel free to ask us any questions!

Sounds interesting, I am hoping there going to be more pipelines. Suggestion: you can create image pipelines like thumbnail create etc.

really awesome! as a founder with limited knowledge of dev ops, something like this is super useful.

Reminds of DigitalOcean's Marketplace! Great work, I can't wait to try it out.

Cool! I'm just starting my journey with backend setups, so something like this is very helpful. Love the free plan, love the design, love the idea. Nice job! :^)

Hey! I really like the idea. Just a little note on the side: Your landing page reminds a lot to Stripes. I know they published their design system but I think you could differentiate yourself and stand out a little bit more by customizing the design and make it feel a bit more unique. Other than that, I am interested to see how it will develop in the future!

Cool! It really can accelerate development! Do you have ability to add third-party pipelines (or create private pipelines inside of organization)?
