Description
Hey HN,I posted Out Plane here last week. Wanted to share an update because I've been shipping a lot.I started this because deploying side projects was killing my motivation. Build something fun over a weekend, then waste two days on Dockerfiles, nginx, and SSL. So I built what I wanted — connect GitHub, push code, get a URL. Done.Since December I've added managed PostgreSQL, managed Redis with RedisInsight built in, Dockerfile auto-detection that pre-fills your config, real-time metrics, and scale to zero — no traffic means no bill. Per-second pricing, not hourly. Same Next.js + Postgres app costs me $2.40/mo vs $12–47 on other platforms.No CLI yet, docs need work, ~200 users. Just me, no team, no funding. But people are running real stuff on it.$20 free credit, no credit card. I read all feedback personally — I'm the only one here.

Could you build this?
Partial A web dashboard managing deployments is easy to prototype, but building a multi-tenant PaaS orchestrating containers, routing, SSL certificates, and security isolation is difficult.
What it would actually take: A reliable PaaS needs an orchestration layer (such as Nomad or lightweight Kubernetes) integrated with automated Git webhooks, dynamic Nixpacks/Buildpacks container builds, and an automated edge proxy (like Traefik or Caddy) handling wildcard DNS and Let's Encrypt certificates. The hard parts are secure container sandboxing, multi-tenant resource limits (cgroups/namespaces), and handling zero-downtime rolling deploys safely.

Nobody's really built a vertical saas tool for Insurance yet.
