Imagine this: Slack message on a Friday afternoon. Coworker just let me know that we're essentially in the 'generating traffic for DownDetector' business for 20 minutes now. New release broke everything and the one who made the changes is on holiday now. Status page: red, like my face when it hits me I'm going to have to deal with this instead of leaving to buy the railroads in Monopoly and eating pizza with pineapple (my favorite) to end the week. Finding which component it is, which environment, how is it built and deployed, then finding my way to the infrastructure is already a decent todo list to tackle. As I am not accessing this resource often, I have to request access to workload, though automatized, still an additional step. Entering the VM, scraping logs and try to restart the service on the server, praying that it is fairy powder that was missing, of course not. Checking logs, the output is written in alien language to me but it's fine, I'm missing the context completely, no problem. What now? Let's see recent changes in VCS. New feature it is, with configuration changes. Cool, think I found the problem. Edit configuration on the server, because I know how to exit vim. Restarting again 🤞. Well, what now? I don't know, I'm just a guy working with JavaScript frameworks, I barely know containers & infrastructure. Google "why my site is still down", enter, StackOverFlow, ChatGPT. It's been 67 minutes now since I received the message and it's still down. The guy who can help me out will be out of meeting in 30+ minutes. So, it is going to be fine, at least I keep telling this to myself. Way to kick off the weekend, right? As an engineer, technology can become overwhelming and you can feel like a total noob. Being a developer doesn't grant anyone magical skills to fix any problem that occurs. dyrector.io is a platform designed to eliminate the skill gap and the cognitive load of engineers when they inevitably need to wander outside their comfort zones.

Hey Product Hunt👋 This is Levi, co-founder and CEO of the team developing dyrector.io, an open-source continuous delivery and deployment platform that helps SaaS businesses turn user demand into software faster by automation and bringing multiple phases of software development lifecycle to one place. We bring you this solution with more than 50 years of collective experience in several roles of software development, knowing the ins and outs of all the pitfalls that are bound to happen when you develop and maintain a business application. Here's what makes dyrector.io special: 🎬 Manage your entire infrastructure and all your services in one interface This capability replaces SSH, kubectl, and other tools you might need to use to manually access your infrastructure and attach unnecessary cognitive load to seemingly simple processes. 🎬 Deploy your new services without understanding Docker When you're done developing a new feature and it's integrated into your application, you can configure and deploy it with other self-developed or 3rd-party services with a few clicks. 🎬 100% open-source and cloud agnostic developer platform The platform is designed to be compatible with your stack right away. This way you don't have to migrate your services to an entirely new cloud provider. If you like our platform, please support us by giving a ⭐ on our GitHub repository. Do you have questions? Ask away in the comments, we're happy to answer!

🌟 Hey there dyrector.io team! Congratulations on the launch! 💪 I always hated working with Docker, containers, or server admin in general. But sometimes I still work on some projects where someone has to deal with this. And guess what? It's usually me. (𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘷𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘋𝘦𝘷𝘖𝘱𝘴 𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘥𝘢𝘺𝘴?) Anyway, recently I gave dyrector.io a chance while working on a containerized client project and 𝗪𝐎𝐎𝐎𝐀𝐇 it has definitely changed my life for the better. I mean, I still hate Docker but now at least I don't have problems with container deployment pipelines anymore. I see this as an absolute win. I would attach a picture of myself in my dyrector.io merch T-shirt to emphasize how grateful I am to have a platform like this but unfortunately ProductHunt has no option for this. So take this guy and imagine it's me wearing a merch shirt 🧍‍♂️ I 100% recommend dyrector.io for people who know more about the containers & k8s world than me (which is probably a lot of devs here). And 100% recommend for people like me, who understand shit about it but at least get a Vercel-like DX to click around and pray to all gods to not kill the prod server or smth.

Congrats on the launch! I love the idea of making CD / Deployment more automated - On smaller bootstrapped teams that often have 1 or 2 engineers MAX at the onset - products like this really help to take the load of in an area where things should not be cumbersome.

Wow, dyrector.io seems like a handy tool for SaaS businesses. Combining so many phases of software development into one spot? Genius! I'm especially intrigued by how you've made deployments simpler without diving deep into Docker. Your team's collective experience really comes through. I bet a lot of devs would find this invaluable. Keep up the great work!

Big congrats on launching dyrector.io! 🎉 It sounds like an absolute lifesaver for those hectic moments. Will users have the ability to customize notifications to prevent these stressful situations in the future?

Congrats on the launch, I can see myself using this in future, this will be a huge pain point release for me!

You are making it easier than ever for teams to collaborate and streamline their processes. Cheers to a successful launch day!

Congratulations on the launch!!! Love the idea - I can definitely see this product being used by our devs :)

Congrats guys, we will give it a go! Also i've sent this to few friends that will make a good use of the tool! Congrats once again and I'm sure this will absolute success.

Congratulations @geri_mate ! 🚀 @hf_kadre we should ask some devs and clients to give it a try. I'm sure it would be super useful for releases!

Another great open source project. Congratulations on the launch @geri_mate

Congrats on the launch, will definetly test the platform at some future project, looks like time saver.

You've done a great job team, congrats on the launch and best of luck to you today 🦄❤️

Great launch! I believe its gonna make a huge impact in the industry.

Wow, dyrector.io sounds like an outstanding tool for SaaS businesses! I love the idea of reducing the cognitive load on engineers and bringing automation capabilities to one place. Can you tell me more about the version management feature? How does it work, and what benefits does it offer for continuous delivery and deployment? I'm curious to know if there are any plans to integrate with popular container orchestration tools like Kubernetes or Docker Swarm. It would be great to leverage the strengths of these existing platforms while benefiting from dyrector.io's unique features. Overall, I'm excited to give dyrector.io a try and see how it can streamline our deployment processes. Keep up the great work!

Congratulations on the launch! The product looks very promising!

Congrats on the launch! Looks like a dope product 😍😍

Congratulations on the launch and best of luck to the team! 🚀🚀🚀

Dyrector is lit!
