I'm working on a Heroku / Render / Flyio alternative thats free, open source, built on top of Kubernetes.

Supports deployments of your own apps as well as 15k+ other packages (postgres, airbyte, dagster, etc) via helm charts.

Reason? Got sick of paying for the massive markups on PaaS but missed the simplicity and convenience.

Gieeve an instantly deploying AppEngine Standard, please. It's still great and the integrated push queues rather valuable, but Google likes to make the rest sooo complicated...
