Partial A PaaS UI and deploy pipeline are buildable with AI help, but secure multi-app isolation, reliable builds, and TLS and backup operations need serious infrastructure expertise.
What it would actually take: The stack would be a control-plane web app, a job queue for builds, Docker or container runtime integration, and a reverse proxy such as Traefik or Caddy for automatic HTTPS. The hard parts are container isolation and security hardening, reliable rollbacks and database backups, and handling resource limits and failures. Production-grade use requires DevOps and security experience, and the existing open-source alternatives took years of maintenance to mature.
