OpenShip is an open source PaaS that runs on our cloud or your infrastructure. Push your code and OpenShip handles builds, deployments, domains, SSL, monitoring, backups, secrets, and the services your apps depend on. Start fully managed on OpenShip Cloud or self host on your own cloud or on prem. Move between them without changing how you deploy. No proprietary runtime. No vendor lock in. Remove OpenShip and your apps keep running. Deploy anything. Own everything.

Could you build this?
No Building a full PaaS requires deep systems, infrastructure, and container orchestration expertise covering isolated container runtimes, dynamic ingress, automated Let's Encrypt TLS provisioning, and multi-tenant security.
What it would actually take: A production PaaS requires building an orchestration daemon in Go or Rust that interfaces with Docker or containerd, managing reverse proxy routing (e.g., Traefik or Envoy), automated ACME certificate workflows, and Git webhook deployment pipelines (Buildpacks/Nixpacks). The hardest elements are robust multi-tenant sandboxing, failure recovery, dynamic internal networking, and secure secrets management.
