Running your own PaaS and infrastructure on machines you own
What a Zanzibar-Style Relationship Graph Buys a Deploy MCP Server Over a Scoped API Key
AuthZed is pitching SpiceDB's relationship-graph authorization for AI agents. Here's the actual SpiceDB schema for a deploy/rollback MCP server, what it can check that a scoped API key can't, and whether running it is worth the operational cost.
The $2 Million Threshold: What Building Your Own Platform Actually Costs
A cloud bill supposedly needs to hit $2M a year before building your own platform beats renting one — except that $2M is platform-team payroll, not an infrastructure bill, and running a self-hosted PaaS on owned hardware gets the same capability for roughly a third to two-thirds of the cost.
Windsurf Split Into Three Companies in a Week — Then the Brand Died Too
OpenAI's $3B Windsurf deal collapsed, Google took the founders for $2.4B, and Cognition bought the rest for $250M — all in one week. Eleven months later even the brand was gone. Here's why building your deploy workflow on an open protocol beats betting on any single agent vendor's survival.
Your Deploy Agent Has the Same Privileges as a Human Push — and No Insurance
AIUC-1 and California's AB 316 just made 2026 the year AI agent liability got real, while insurers quietly excluded it from standard coverage. Here's what's actually covered, what isn't, and the audit-trail and permission design a deploy-from-chat platform needs today.
Friendly Fire: The AI Security Review That Executes the Attack It's Supposed to Catch
AI Now Institute's Friendly Fire exploit turns Claude Code and Codex's own security reviews into remote code execution — here's how it works and what it means for scoping AI agent permissions on a deploy pipeline.
What Bunnyshell and Okteto Actually Charge for 'Namespace Per PR' — And What It Costs to Build Once
A line-by-line breakdown of what Bunnyshell's per-minute meter and Okteto's per-seat fee actually cost a mid-size team's PR preview environments each month, versus building the same namespace-per-PR workflow on owned Cluster API infrastructure.
Ceph Tentacle's FastEC vs MinIO's Maintenance Mode: What Self-Hosting Block and Object Storage Looks Like on a Cluster-API Fleet in 2026
Ceph Tentacle's FastEC cuts erasure-coding overhead for small block I/O by 2-3x. Worked out on real Hetzner-class hardware against 3x-replicated Longhorn, plus the January 2026 production incident that shows exactly how not to enable it.
Docker Compose's models: Key Has Been in the Official Spec Since June 2025 — What That Means for a Compose-to-Cluster-API Build Step
Docker Compose's models: key for defining AI models, agents, and MCP tools has quietly been part of the vendor-neutral Compose Specification since June 2025 — here's the exact YAML, and what it means for a git-push PaaS's build pipeline.
Dokploy Passed CapRover's GitHub Stars in Two Years, Not Nine
CapRover took nearly nine years to reach 15,109 GitHub stars. Dokploy passed that number in about two. The GitHub API data, and the Docker Compose gap behind it, explain why.
