Stormkit is a self-hostable Vercel/Netlify alternative I've been building for 6 years. Last week, I open-sourced the full platform.

If you're tired of rising cloud bills or want full control over your CI/CD pipeline, you can now run Stormkit on your own infrastructure.

GitHub: https://github.com/stormkit-io/stormkit-io

I'd love feedback from the HN community, especially on docs, self-hosting UX, and what features matter most for production use.

Happy to answer any questions about the architecture, trade-offs, or differences from other tools.

Stormkit founder here. An alternative bootstrapped PaaS to Netlify and Vercel.

This is very unfortunate to see. We recently shared a blog post on why we had to drop Serverless support for Next.js.

It’s impossible to stay behind their frequent breaking changes and features tailored to Vercel. Now they’re doing the same with React Server Components. I was quite surprised to see React developing a beta feature only for Next.js. This is very harmful to the nature of Open source development.

In my opinion it’d be great if frameworks would be maintained by foundations or independent organizations rather than private companies.

Anyways, the link to the article is here in case anyone wants to read: https://www.stormkit.io/blog/why-we-are-dropping-support-for...

We also developed a starter template similar to create-react-app, that is powered by React and Vite only. It has SSG, SSR, API routes and SPA support. It can be deployed pretty much everywhere. Dropping the link in case someone is interested: https://github.com/stormkit-io/monorepo-template-react

Hey allI'm planning to create a new tool to track progress in public.I often see indie hackers setting goals over Twitter or other platforms, but usually, the information on what has been done to achieve that goal is either missing or hard to find. To be more transparent and document steps, I thought of creating Feez.If you're interested, please sign up. I'll implement the tool once there are...

Ask HN: Shall we make Stormkit an open source Vercel alternative?

Posted by svedova on Sunday April 10, 2022 @04:30AM
from the ask-hn dept.

Currently the frontend is open source but we're also considering open sourcing the backend. We have some pros and cons in mind but I'm not going to list them here to effect your thought process.A little bit more context: Stormkit.io is a Vercel/Netlify alternative which allows users to host their application on different platforms like AWS S3 or BunnyCDN. We're a bootstrapped startup with 2...

Re:Ask HN: How hard is it to build a platform like Netlify? on Friday November 01, 2019 @06:46PM (#21424482)
Basically I did exactly this :) I created a tool that helps you deploy your static (and hybrid!) app, with a few more features like creating environments, specifying remote configuration and staged rollouts. It took me a year part time, all by myself. Check it out here: https://www.stormkit.io. Basically, you gotta have a nice understanding of the cloud providers, some network knowledge, a lot of backend knowledge and a descent frontend knowledge if you want to compete with their awesome UX :) - Obviously, Netlify has a team behind it, but despite that I believe I did a good job.
