Self-hosted developer tools and PaaS
Open-source, self-hosted alternatives to Heroku, Render, GitHub Actions, and the rest of the SaaS dev stack.
Self-hosting used to mean accepting a worse UX for control. The tools here close the gap: Nixopus and Zane Ops are Heroku-class deploy UX on your own VPS; runs-on gives you self-hosted GitHub Actions runners with real cost savings; HolyClaude and ExpenseOwl are container-first single-purpose apps. The bar for 'is the polish there yet' has moved a lot.
