Show HN: I Built a Non-AI Platform for Verified Deployment Scripts

I'm a solopreneur who has bootstrapped five tech startups over the last 10 years (all of them have failed). I've hated the time I've spent uploading the apps...

Jesus Christ!

A couple of months back, I spent 21.4 hours trying to configure a minimum-permission automated deployment script with Docker, Go, and Cloud Run.

It was my first time with Google Cloud Run (I have past experience with AWS - EC2, SQS, DynamoDB, etc.).

I remember fighting long days to set up AWS… But it happened again with GCP:

1. Fragmented documentation 2. Lack of examples 3. Strange, obtuse errors 4. Setting up service accounts was a nightmare. No wonder people go for admin rights and call it a day. 5. ChatGPT and Gemini were dancing around like headless chickens.

No wonder wrapper services like Vercel are successful.

But, I don't want wrapper services: - They don't have what I need - They can become very expensive - They don't give me control of the services I need (Escape Hatches)

Seeing this gap, I'm sharing a platform that does things differently:

- You manage your infrastructure (connect directly to the cloud provider) - Infrastructure code with tools like Pulumi is created for you. 100% verified. No AI hallucinations or sorcery. - Service accounts are created for you with minimum permissions - Pulumi is set up for you, connected with the deployment keys - The infrastructure will have all the dependent services chained together in the right order - It's idempotent. Run the script as many times as you want with no duplicates or side effects - Deletes are a single command - You can use these scripts as learning tools or examples

I hope this can be useful to you as it is for me!

P.S. I'd love any feedback to make this product better!
