Show HN: Lemon – Alternative UI for AWS

Hi all, Igor &amp; Mo here from Lemon. We believe that developers deserve better than what AWS UI is today. It&#x27;s incomprehensible, like an airplane cockpit. Whereas Lemon is built to feel more like your phone - no manual needed.<p>Lemon is easy to use, like Vercel or Heroku. You can deploy containers, webapps, functions, databases, etc. Networking and permissions are automatically configured, CI &#x2F; CD just works, instrumentation connected. But it&#x27;s not a PaaS - it manages your AWS account, and you retain full control.<p>Lemon has first-class support of Terraform, so you can customise every bit. It supports multiple environments and can export Terraform to a dedicated &quot;infrastructure repository&quot; if you connect one. And it will pick up your custom TF from that repo too, so it&#x27;s a two-way sync.<p>By default Lemon uses ECS Fargate to deploy your containers. Kubernetes is supported too, as well as Lambda. Static webapps go to S3 and served via CloudFront. Every environment gets independent configuration so you can have high-load production and many short-lived cost-efficient dev environments, even one per branch if you&#x27;d like.<p>We&#x27;ve also just launched on ProductHunt: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.producthunt.com&#x2F;posts&#x2F;lemon-4" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.producthunt.com&#x2F;posts&#x2F;lemon-4</a>

I really don&#x27;t know what must happen before I give AWS CRUD credentials to a third party.<p>However, that something didn&#x27;t happen by reading this website and its value proposition.<p>I&#x27;m saying this as, hopefully, source for inspiration. The amount of trust a third party must inspire before anyone (like me at least?) dares to delegate operation must be overwhelming.

Can this be launched internally, such that I am not leaking internal details out to a 3rd party?<p>I can&#x27;t imagine adopting this in the companies I&#x27;ve worked for, without that avenue.

Looks good, enjoyed the demo. Fwiw the name Lemon might get a few raised eyebrows here in the UK. Its slang for a dud&#x2F; broken thing..

This really needs an “about us” page. Trust (particularly with access to something as sensitive as an AWS account) is important here.

This looks cool! I spend half the day in terraform and AWS and I’m looking forward to trying this out later today.<p>Regardless of how that goes, it’s really nice to see a project that addresses this specific area. Way to go!<p>The AWS console is (at least for the popular services and API endpoints) super effective.<p>That said, when you’re deploying a project that has components that span almost a dozen services in AWS that can quickly become a dozen tabs just to assess the state of the project. Not very fun - looking forward to seeing how this handles that.

You&#x27;ve got some references to &#x27;Digger&#x27; in your docs - perhaps an old name for the product? - and at least one 404 from there as well.

This isn&#x27;t a good idea.

We are tackling this same issue, but in a different way. A unified UI for AWS and LocalStack. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;getcommandeer.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;getcommandeer.com</a>
