Coolify's 58K Stars vs Dokploy's 35K: What Two Self-Hosted PaaS Growth Curves Actually Say
A same-day GitHub API check of Coolify's and Dokploy's star counts, MCP capabilities, and architecture puts the 'fastest growing PaaS' claim to the test — and finds the two projects' AI-agent tooling tells a very different story than their star counts do.
Envoy AI Gateway Hits v1.0: A CNCF Blueprint for Securing Your Own MCP Server
Envoy AI Gateway's v1.0 release stabilizes MCPRoute and MCPRouteSecurityPolicy, giving self-hosted platforms CEL-based per-tool authorization and audit trails for AI agents — without building an MCP authorization layer from scratch.
GitHub Tried to Meter Self-Hosted CI Runners, Then Backed Off
GitHub announced a $0.002/minute charge on self-hosted Actions runners, then postponed it within 48 hours. Here's the cost math it would have meant, and the control-plane dependency it exposed even for teams that already self-host their compute.
Hetzner Already Killed the datacenter Field — What a CAPH Fleet Must Check Before August 1
Hetzner already removed the datacenter field from its API on July 1, and EC2-compatible metadata routes disappear August 1 — here's exactly what breaks in a CAPH-managed fleet, what's already patched, and how to check.
Ingress NGINX Is Officially Dead: The Gateway API Migration a Self-Hosted PaaS Can't Skip
Ingress-nginx went EOL on March 24, 2026 with no more CVE fixes ever. Here's the head-to-head on the two sanctioned exits — Traefik as a drop-in stopgap vs. migrating straight to Gateway API's Gateway/HTTPRoute model — plus the before/after YAML a self-hosted PaaS's routing layer should generate.
Kamal 2 Bet Against Kubernetes and Rails 8 Made It the Default: What SSH-Based Docker Deploy Gets Right (and Where It Runs Out of Room)
Kamal 2 ships zero-downtime Docker deploys over plain SSH with no cluster and no control plane — here's the exact technical wall it hits, and what a Cluster-API-managed fleet does differently on the other side of it.
Kubernetes 1.35's Job managedBy Field Ends the Reconciliation Fight Over Agent-Triggered Batch Work
Kubernetes 1.35 made the Job managedBy field GA, letting a platform's own controller claim a Job's status end-to-end instead of racing the built-in controller for it — here's what that means for AI agents triggering migrations and one-off tasks from chat.
Kubernetes 1.36's User Namespaces Go GA: The hostUsers: false Default Every Multi-Tenant PaaS Should Ship
Kubernetes 1.36 graduated User Namespaces to GA — here's the exact node-image, subuid, and admission-policy recipe to make hostUsers: false the cluster-wide default for every tenant pod, plus the shared-kernel limitation it doesn't fix.
Kubero vs a Cluster-API PaaS: Two Kubernetes-Native Bets on "Heroku Without the Monthly Bill"
Kubero and a Cluster-API-based PaaS both promise Heroku without the invoice, but they eliminate different halves of it — here's the CRD-level breakdown of what each actually owns, what it costs, and which problem it solves.
