Description
BaseHarbor is an open-source application infrastructure and lifecycle platform. Applications declare what they need once, while BaseHarbor manages PostgreSQL, Valkey, secrets, TLS, backup/restore, readiness and lifecycle operations. The current runtime is Docker Compose, with Kubernetes and OpenShift planned behind the same application contract. The key idea: hide operational complexity without hiding standard interfaces or locking applications to a proprietary SDK.

Could you build this?
Partial Generating Compose files or standard manifests is simple, but building a robust multi-cloud infrastructure abstraction engine managing lifecycle, stateful rollbacks, secrets, and TLS across Compose and Kubernetes requires significant systems orchestration experience.
What it would actually take: Requires an orchestration daemon written in Go or Rust utilizing Docker Engine APIs, Kubernetes Client libraries, and Helm/CRD controllers. The core challenge is abstracting stateful workloads (PostgreSQL, Valkey clustering), reliable snapshot/restore automation, and seamless migration between container engines while guaranteeing zero downtime and transactional secret management.
