Show HN: Appliku – Deployment PaaS for Python/Django

Hey there. Firstly, Congratulations on the progress. From the screenshot, I can tell you the UI&#x2F;UX is great. I have been maintaining Awesome PaaS [1]. Overtime, I have started feeling this space has become commoditised. Because of containers, kubernetes etc. this has been an explosion in the number of tools in the space, however in your case, because of the django&#x2F;python niche you might have something. In my opinion, very few early stage apps fit into PaaS model, most of the orgs have so much customization that it hard to fit them into your platform. I guess with Django as framework specialization this won&#x27;t be a problem. Goodluck, with your endeavours.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;debarshibasak&#x2F;awesome-paas">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;debarshibasak&#x2F;awesome-paas</a>

I&#x27;ve looked at this before and there just isn&#x27;t enough information for me to even consider it.<p>Does Appliku essentially get root to any server I put under its control? What happens to the server if I stop paying the monthly installment? How does it work, and how do you guarantee security?

I was just breaking my head over deploying my simple stupid Django app last weekend over Render and other PaaS. While I eventually deployed it, it took quite a bit of time and it&#x27;s still super slow.<p>That being said, it&#x27;s unbelievable that you managed to do this alone. The site looks very well built, at least for my non-developer, noob-programmer eyes. I&#x27;ll definitely give it a try.

If I&#x27;m bringing my own server, who manages load balancing for high availability? How are databases handled if you have more than one server, do you replicate amongst them all?

Looks great! Does it run Docker &#x2F; Kubernetes under the hood? Its approach is very similar to Cloud 66: bring you own cloud and we turn it into a PaaS

Looks like a very good product for Django deployments. I know how hard it is to get such a platform stable.

What about plugins for Appliku? I.e. I wanna add a specific monitoring service, how does it work?

Looks great! Congrats! Can I use it without Docker?

i switched to Appliku 2 years ago. it was my best devops decision. saved me thousands of $. AMA.
