Running your own PaaS and infrastructure on machines you own
Coolify, Dokku, and CapRover Solve Git-Push Deploys on One Box — Here's Exactly Where That Wall Is
Coolify, Dokku, and CapRover all run one Docker daemon as the control plane, build runner, and runtime. Here are the actual RAM, CPU-during-deploy, and reboot-failure numbers that mark where that single box stops working, and what a Cluster API fleet does differently.
Kubernetes Promised a CSI for Buckets in 2022. It's Still Pre-Alpha Four Years Later
COSI, Kubernetes' answer to 'CSI for buckets,' targeted beta by Kubernetes 1.32 in December 2024. It's mid-2026 and the project is still pre-alpha. Here's the dated timeline, what hosted PaaS platforms shipped instead, and what a self-hosted PaaS should build for tenant object storage right now.
Daytona vs E2B for Self-Hosted AI Sandboxes: The Helm Chart Doesn't Do What You Think
Daytona's Helm chart looks like the easy self-hosting path for AI code sandboxes, but its own README shows the control plane never leaves Daytona's cloud. Here's what standing up Daytona and E2B actually requires on a Cluster API–managed fleet.
Devpush's No-Dockerfile Bet: What a Curl-Pipe Install Buys a Solo Python Dev, and Where It Runs Out
Devpush skips Dockerfiles entirely and installs with a curl-pipe-to-bash script on one box. A concrete look at what that buys a solo Python or Node developer's time-to-first-deploy, and the specific points — language support, background workers, a second machine — where the bet runs out.
DX's 13-Minutes-Per-Point Number: What a 40,000-Developer Panel Actually Proves About Golden-Path ROI
DX's headline claim is that each one-point DXI gain saves 13 minutes a developer a week — a number from a 40,000-developer survey panel, not a stopwatch. Here's what it actually proves, what it can't, and the instrumented time-to-first-deploy metric a self-hosted platform can measure instead.
Elestio's 400+ App Catalog Passes Coolify's: Why Catalog Size Is the Wrong Way to Rank a Self-Hosted PaaS
Elestio now leads the self-hosted PaaS category with 400+ one-click apps, ahead of CapRover, Coolify, PikaPods, and Cloudron. The numbers are real — but they measure a different product than a git-push PaaS builds. Here's the actual table, what catalog size hides, and what a Cluster-API platform should borrow instead of chasing the count.
Fly.io's July 3 ORD Outage: Two Upstream Failures, 18 Hours Apart, and the Fault Domain You Don't Get to Choose
Fly.io's July 3, 2026 status history reads like one 18-hour ORD outage, but it was two separate upstream failures hours apart. Here's the verbatim timeline and what a rented-rack fault domain actually costs you versus owning the fleet.
Fly.io's GPU Exit and Zero Open Job Reqs: Reading a Platform's Own Hiring Page as a Migration-Urgency Signal
Fly.io's GPUs disappear August 1, 2026, and its careers page lists zero open roles. Here's a five-signal checklist for reading a vendor's own public record as an early-warning system, run against Fly.io's actual 2024-2026 track record.
GitHub Actions Cache Gets a Meter: What It Actually Costs Now
GitHub's Actions cache overage is $0.07/GB/month, not the $0.25 figure most pricing roundups repeat — and that's not even the expensive part. Here's what the January 2026 upload rate limit actually costs a busy CI pipeline, and what a self-hosted build cache skips entirely.
