If we can provide Manage-less AWS Hosting with DevOps service, from $35/mo. Will you be interested?
Hi, Indie Hackers... Alvian here.
Right now, We would like to try to execute a new idea for our bootstrapped startup: https://woocore.com/
(Woo⚡Core is Manage-less AWS Hosting with DevOps service for Web App Businesses, start from $35/month)
We can provide the service. But we would like to know if people are interested with this kind of hosting service.
If you have a Web App Business... Would you mind to give a short comment below?
Would you use this kind of hosting service?
You can look at the pricing plan & value proposition at the site. Any feedback are welcome. Thanks!
Alvian
I don't think I'd use it, but....
I would like a service I can throw Docker containers at and slowly scale in price and capacity. It's not worth my time to try to set up a Docker swarm and I'd just like to drop a container down and ta-da.
There are a bunch of pretty cool Containers-as-a-Service (CaaS) companies out there. Hyper.sh is one I've seen pop up a few times over the last couple years.

Hey Alvin,
Nice Idea. But I'm have a doubt
You said only devops and sever management, But instead of charging for Devops time, you charge for servers. So Your service is like Engine Yard but for all platforms ?
There is no mention about automation of tasks and integration with other than AWS.
Sorry man. But I still think https://nanobox.io/ This is a better option
"But the salary is quit high" ... is that a pun? ;-)
Most of the landing page looks awesome, but then there are sentences like "Your Web App run on the powerful AWS, without need any technical skill"
I might be interested ... but that and things like 1.) the textual redundancies and 2. failure to provide functional and technical details make the whole package seem really suspicious.
WooCore host my webapp ... but it provides the devOps team? ... which operates - and develops??? - the application? That seems weird. The whole text indicates that it is just operation, no development.
How does the webapp have to be packaged to be deployable?
How do revision updates work?
I do love the idea of a bundle of perfectly orchestrated services, but I feel that the part where I have to make sure my apps are compatible and restrictions when it comes to adding new infrastructure components would be a dealbreaker.
Great, you put so much effort into the landing page.
Honestly I won't because I am a developer with server management experience.
Love the landing page Alvian! I've heard this idea a few times now on IH. It's definitely solving a big industry paint point. I can see companies flocking to your service if executed properly. I'm curious to know how you're going to make such a low price point feasible, especially when the AWS hosting charges are included. Do you have specific tech stacks already priced out and codified so you can offer a repeatable product for each pricing tier? I've worked as a DevOps engineer and consultant so I'm interested in learning more!

Same here! I use Heroku for pretty much all my projects and client work (plus a few on Google Cloud). The price might be more than direct hosting on AWS, but I'll gladly pay $50 a month for the service. An hour of freelancing can be ~$150 and it saves me hours for sure. Clients never mind the cost either, usually only $25/mo
Are you thinking of a specific application @alvianlim? Perhaps the Dev Ops side is where you can differentiate?
