Shuttle
Build & ship backends without writing any infrastructure files
Shuttle is a Rust-focused backend deployment platform designed to help developers build and ship applications without writing infrastructure configuration files. It lets projects provision resources such as databases directly from application code, removing the need for separate YAML or cloud setup workflows. The platform supports fast development by combining project initialization, resource provisioning, and deployment into a streamlined CLI experience. It works with popular Rust web frameworks such as Axum, Actix Web, and Rocket. Shuttle also handles infrastructure concerns like permissions and security so developers can focus on application logic. Its repository includes the Shuttle CLI, runtime, services, resource integrations, examples, and deployment-related tooling. The GitHub repository is currently archived and read-only, but it remains a useful reference for the platform’s architecture and Rust deployment model. -

Websoft9
Applications self-hosting and DevOps platform
Websoft9 is a web-based PaaS and Linux panel for self-hosting open-source applications on a user’s own server. It is designed for running many web apps on a single machine instead of requiring a complex Kubernetes-first architecture. The platform provides a graphical interface for installing, managing, and operating more than 200 application templates. It combines application deployment with server administration tools, so users can manage files, containers, users, proxies, SSL, logs, storage, firewalls, and system services from one place. Websoft9 uses familiar technologies such as Docker, Docker Compose, Nginx, Cockpit, Kubernetes, and Swarm rather than introducing a completely new stack. It is useful for individuals, teams, and organizations that want lightweight self-hosting with DevOps-style controls and less manual configuration. -

Rainbond
A container platform that needs no Kubernetes learning
Rainbond is an open-source container platform that helps teams build, deploy, upgrade, operate, and deliver applications on Kubernetes without requiring deep Kubernetes expertise. It focuses more on application delivery than low-level cluster resource management. The platform brings source code, container images, templates, dependencies, access management, upgrades, and rollbacks into a standardized graphical workflow. Rainbond is built for complex enterprise delivery scenarios such as private deployment, offline delivery, internal-network environments, Xinchuang adaptation, ARM migration, and AI application privatization. It includes marketplace and template capabilities so teams can reuse applications and replicate deployments across customer environments. Its goal is to let development and delivery teams work at the application level while platform teams handle the underlying Kubernetes complexity. -
PRTG Catches Network Issues Before They Cause DowntimeReactive troubleshooting usually means hearing about a problem from frustrated users, not your monitoring tool. PRTG sets threshold-based alerts across devices, servers and applications, notifying your team by email, SMS or push the moment a metric crosses a set limit. That means catching a failing disk or overloaded server before it becomes an outage and getting time back from firefighting. Start a free trial and set your first alerts today.

Steedos Platform
The AI-Native Infrastructure for Enterprise Apps
Steedos Platform is an open-source, AI-native infrastructure platform for building enterprise applications through metadata instead of repetitive boilerplate code. It is evolving into ObjectStack, a modular architecture built around ObjectQL, ObjectOS, and Object UI. The platform uses a metadata-driven model similar in spirit to Salesforce, but with a stronger focus on prompt-based app generation and open deployment. ObjectQL defines data, logic, and UI in a standard format that AI tools can generate and modify. ObjectOS provides the runtime layer for APIs, authentication, permissions, workflow automation, and business logic. Object UI turns metadata into responsive React and Tailwind interfaces, while still allowing custom components and pro-code extension. Steedos is built for teams that need enterprise-grade apps with low-code speed, AI assistance, and flexible backend architecture. -

The platform uses Docker Swarm for scalable container orchestration and Caddy for flexible routing and web serving. It gives developers a polished dashboard for managing projects, deployments, logs, URLs, environment variables, resource limits, and service configuration. ZaneOps supports Docker image deployments and deployment webhooks, making it useful for automated release workflows. It is aimed at startups, self-hosters, and teams that want modern deployment convenience without giving up control over servers, costs, or data. -

Convox Rack
Private PaaS built on native AWS services for maximum privacy
Convox Rack is a private PaaS that runs inside a user’s AWS account and provides a managed application deployment layer over cloud infrastructure. It is designed for teams that want the productivity of a platform-as-a-service while keeping workloads, data, and infrastructure under their own control. Developers interact with Rack through the Convox CLI to create apps, set environment variables, deploy code, build releases, and promote updates. The platform handles application lifecycle tasks such as releases, logs, processes, scaling, rack updates, access credentials, and operational configuration. It also exposes commands for inspecting rack processes and generating Kubernetes configuration for the underlying cluster. Convox Rack is especially useful for teams that want repeatable deployments, cloud-native isolation, and reduced infrastructure maintenance without moving everything into a fully managed third-party runtime. -

Octelium
A next-gen FOSS self-hosted unified zero trust secure access platform
Octelium is an open source, self-hosted unified secure-access platform built for modern infrastructure and hybrid environments. It positions itself as more than a typical VPN; it supports zero-trust network access (ZTNA), “BeyondCorp”-style access, API/AI gateway functionality, and even serves as a PaaS-like deployment surface. One of its key strengths is identity-based, application-layer (L7) aware control, meaning access decisions are made per request, with context and policy rather than simple network-level allow/block rules. It supports both client-based (e.g., WireGuard/QUIC tunnels) and client-less access models, which makes it flexible for both human users and automated workloads. The project also highlights self-hosted, no hidden “server-side” locked components, giving organizations greater ownership and control over access, rather than relying on proprietary SaaS. -

free-for.dev
A list of SaaS, PaaS and IaaS offerings that have free tiers
free-for-dev is a long-running, community-curated catalog of services that offer free tiers useful to developers, students, makers, and small teams. The list spans hosting, databases, CI/CD, monitoring, source control, APIs, design tools, and more, organized into clear categories so readers can scan and compare options quickly. It emphasizes practical limits such as usage caps, seat counts, rate limits, and time-boxed trials, helping users spot real-world constraints before adopting a tool. The repository is maintained via pull requests and issue discussion, so new services and policy changes can be incorporated as providers evolve their offerings. Contributors often include short notes or caveats next to each entry, which keeps the list actionable rather than just promotional. Because it’s a single, searchable markdown resource, it has become a go-to reference for bootstrappers and engineers looking to prototype or run small workloads at minimal cost. -
