Hey all, we've been watching our friends launch on Product Hunt from the sidelines. Today, we're making the jump ourselves! TLDR: Ubicloud is an open source alternative to AWS. Previously, if you wanted to launch a web app on Ubicloud, you'd have to go through many hurdles. Today, we're launching our Kamal integration. This way, you can launch your web apps in an open source, portable, and cost-effective manner. We also have a special perk available to Hunters. Email us at product-hunt@ubicloud.com during our launch week and we'll set you up with credits equivalent to 15,000 free compute minutes (standard-2). We'd also love to hear your feedback about anything Ubicloud related! Why this, why now? The cloud has become too expensive. Public cloud providers have proprietary solutions that lock you in. We think the time has come for an open source and cost-effective alternative. What is Kamal? Kamal is an open source project from Basecamp that lets you deploy web apps anywhere. DHH has a great video that explains how it works here - https://kamal-deploy.org What does it mean to use Kamal with Ubicloud? Kamal lets you deploy any kind of web app that can be containerized. It still requires certain primitives from the underlying infrastructure. These include compute, database, load balancer, DNS, and certificates. We've been working for months to provide these primitives in our open source and on managed offerings. They are available starting today. Do you have any experience with building this sort of thing? Our founding team comes from Azure; and worked at Amazon and Heroku before that. We also have start-up experience. We were co-founders and founding team members at Citus Data, which was acquired by Microsoft. Ubicloud provides compute (VM), block storage, firewall & load balancer, managed PostgreSQL, and GitHub runners. Again, if you have feedback for us, we'd love to hear it. Please chime in!

@ozgun Looks pretty amazing, will share it with the friends who are in the initial days of building. Any specific type of user that can make the most by opting for Ubicloud> BTW does "Kamal" have any connection with the flower Lotus? (Called Kamal in hindi)

@prad_vv - thanks a bunch! We'd expect new web apps to work best with Ubicloud + Kamal! Originally built for Rails apps, Kamal will work with any type of web app that can be containerized. On naming, DHH originally named the project MRSK. I'm guessing Maersk didn't like that, so they renamed the project. Kamal is named after the ancient Arab navigational tool used by sailors to keep course by determining their latitude via the Pole Star. https://kamal-deploy.org

@ozgun Interesting! I'm curious about the performance of your NVMe-based PostgreSQL compared to AWS RDS. Have you done any benchmarks? Also, how do you handle automated backups and point-in-time recovery for databases?

@a_samueldarwin - yes we have! You can find our performance benchmarks here: https://www.ubicloud.com/docs/ma... As a quick note, we picked a working set that fit into memory in these benchmarks. So, most reads were served from memory for AWS and Ubicloud. If your working set didn't fit into memory, the performance difference would have been higher.

Ubicloud started with encrypted VMs, storage and networking primitives, ABAC, and managed PostgreSQL. Now you can deploy anything that can be containerized, using a completely open source and simplified toolchain -- all the way from Linux, to Kamal, to Ubicloud. We are excited to reduce costs by 3x for core cloud services (and by 10x with our Github managed runners), to run anywhere, and to bring more freedom with open source. Would love to hear your feedback!

Congrats Ubicloud team! We at PeerDB (https://github.com/PeerDB-io/peerdb) have been using Ubicloud since many months to speed-up our CI builds. It has been a great experience both from a performance and cost savings (over 10x savings) standpoint. Kamal integration will be a game changer for app devs, making it seamless to deploy managed web apps, now anywhere! 🚀
