Experienced developers and operations teams need a simplified way to deploy and manage multiple services, databases, caches, and queues within a single private network with advanced features like load balancing, security, and versioned configuration, without constantly reinventing the wheel or facing the complexity of raw Kubernetes.

There is a gap between simple PaaS solutions like Fly.io/Heroku and the complexity of managed Kubernetes for deploying multiple interconnected services with advanced operational features. Existing solutions either lack the necessary control and features or are too difficult to implement and maintain without significant expertise.

Workarounds Described

  • building an internal PaaS on Kube to power Farmlogs
  • reinventing the wheel all the time

Implied Software Gaps

  • A platform as a service (PaaS) that offers advanced deployment features and infrastructure control without the steep learning curve of raw Kubernetes.
  • A solution that provides reproducible artifacts of an entire system to ensure business continuity even if the platform provider fails.
