Working on https://canine.sh, an open source, self hosted PaaS for Kubernetes.

A big part of this was inspired by the last startup I worked at. In an effort to not deal with complexities of Kubernetes, we ended up on Heroku and was charged exorbitant amounts of money. One year spending close to 400k on Heroku alone, for what should’ve been 10-15k in cloud costs.

I think a big part of this is just making Kubernetes more friendly and easier to use for a small / midsized team of developers.

The goal is to make it easy enough for even a single developer to feel comfortable with, while also being powerful enough to be able to support a small team

I see that your app/tool is linked on Portainer's website. What's the business model behind it ? I do not see any pricing and I could be really interested as I'm looking for a solution to abstract away k8s complexity for a medium sized company I'm working for.

		Yeah it’s totally free to use and there are pricing tiers for support that portainer provides. Canine is 100% FOSS. No hidden features behind some payment plan or anything. Portainer sponsors us, to keep us working full time on it. Shoot me a note at chris @ canine<dot>sh Would love to help in any way I can! Always looking for more adoption, esp at medium sized companies
