Show HN: Codemason – Deploy and host your apps without the hassle

Hi HackerNews<p>I&#x27;m a solo founder who&#x27;s been hacking away on Codemason for awhile now. I built it to scratch my own itch after falling in love with Docker but also getting frustrated with how much effort getting things set up “right” required.<p>I’ve really tried to focus on simplifying the entire pipeline from development to production. I think I’ve done a reasonably solid job on that so far but would love some feedback or suggestions for how I could take it further.<p>Providing hands-on one-on-one support via a Slack I’ve setup has become one of my “things that don’t scale” that I’ve really enjoyed adopting and offering to people (even if they aren’t necessarily a Codemason user). If you’re interested in taking me up on that, let me know (here or via ben[at]codemason.io) and I’ll send you an invite.

I came here to say that I am a very happy customer of Codemason. Ben is incredible and helped me a <i>LOT</i> with his support through Slack.<p>I have finished building an MVP for my web app and was considering alternatives to host it. My biggest struggle was how to set up a proper CI&#x2F;CD flow. Consider that I have pretty much zero knowledge about devops.<p>I asked for help on the Indie Hackers forum and Ben contacted me. It was like a God-sent gift. Now I am days away of launching my own, properly deployed, web app :)<p>Couldn&#x27;t recommend this service more!

I like the site in general, but I am not familiar with your workflow.<p>1. I write some code 2. I git push 3. ??? 4. Somehow my code has been containerized and is running in a cloud?<p>I think you&#x27;re missing some logical steps on your homepage, and also a features page that drills down into exactly what you offer (I get the general gist but what are the exact features?) would be necessary.

Ben, this looks like a great tool - you&#x27;re doing an awesome job, keep up the good work.<p>Question for you: The benefits of using this as a private-Heroku-on-public cloud are obvious, but in the nicest way possible, why would&#x2F;should I consider Codemason hosting over a large AWS tier provider?

Congrats on launching your project. What did you use to build your landing page? I need to put something similar together for <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;teamci.co" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;teamci.co</a>.

This looks promising.... but you really should explain the tech stack behind it so that people have confidence in your system ....<p>Also, an explainer and demo video would be very useful to understand the product.

What sort of sandboxing are you using? i.e. how secure are the containers from compromise by malicious code?

What do you think is the benefit of your service over Heroku?

+1 for using Vue and Laravel :)

Operative or speculative?
