Show IH: usekube.co - Deploy dockerfiles

Hello fellow IndieHackers 👋

I finished usekube.co this week (the MVP version) and I'm looking for feedback. I built it to deploy my own stuff, but I'm thinking it can be useful to some of you.

It's a small cloud based on docker images. It's super easy to deploy any project that has Dockerfile in it. The image building happens on the cloud, so it's kind of "Deploy and Forget".

Every deployment is set to scale based on CPU usage up to 20 instances.

I would put some screenshot but it's not possible on IH :/

Here is the link: https://usekube.co . There is a pricing table but it's completely free for the next month or so while I build the billing system 🏖

I know a lot of you already have their habits when it comes to deploying, so I'd really appreciate anyone that tries and deploys something on Kube 😁

    Looks cool. I'm curious--how are you building the billing system?

    I understand you're pricing by logs, bandwidth, and number of containers, but you might be able to get off the ground a lot quicker (a few days compared to a month) with something like Cheddar. For full disclaimer, I'm a part of the team, but we work with quite a few SaaS projects like yours (targeted towards developers, mostly blended subscription and usage-based pricing models, etc.)

    Hey, this is pretty neat! Nicely done. It’s clear that you’ve put some effort into making your core interaction (deploy a container) super easy and intuitive. I’m curious about what kind of audience you’re targeting with this kind of tool? Even though it looks like you’re focused on supporting apps which run in a single container, I can think of a lot of different use cases.
