Hostlyke

Hello Product Hunt! 👋 RedwoodsKenyan here, founder and lead engineer of Hostlyke. Today marks a significant milestone for our small, passionate team based in Nairobi: we’re opening the doors to a platform we’ve engineered from the ground up to democratize professional-grade deployment infrastructure. The Problem We Lived: As developers building for global audiences, we were constantly arbitraging between powerful-but-expensive cloud platforms and simpler tools that couldn't handle our scale. The friction of configuration, spiraling costs for side projects, and the walled gardens between "hobby" and "pro" tools stifled iteration. Our Architectural Answer: Hostlyke. We didn't just build another hosting service. We built a converged deployment runtime. Git as the Single Source of Truth: Our system deep-integrates with your VCS (GitHub/GitLab). Every push triggers an atomic build process in our optimized build fleet, and the resulting artifact is instantly distributed to our global edge network (100+ locations), not just a single origin server. Zero-Configuration Intelligence: Our build system performs automatic framework detection (React, Next.js, Vue, SvelteKit, etc.) and injects optimal build commands and caching rules. You can override everything, but you rarely need to. The Full Stack, Unlocked: From day one, you have access to the entire suite: not just static hosting, but Edge Functions (sub-50ms cold starts), managed Serverless Databases, environment variable management with branching targets (production vs preview), a comprehensive CLI & REST API, and role-based Team Collaboration. Why This Launch is Different: We are fundamentally opposed to crippling free tiers. Our Hobby plan is genuinely free forever with unlimited projects and deployments, because we believe the barrier to building for the web should be as close to zero as possible. Your constraints should be your creativity, not your platform. I’ll be here all day, deep in the comments. I’m eager to discuss our tech stack (Go on the edge, Rust for the CLI), our roadmap, or to hear what you’re building and how Hostlyke can help you ship it. Thank you for your time and attention. Let’s build the future, fast. — RedwoodsKenyan & The Hostlyke Team
