Interested in free DevOps consulting from a fellow Indie Hacker?

I'm building a GitOps framework, because I believe when teams use frameworks for application development for good reasons, they should not build infrastructure and automation from scratch either.

To validate my theory, I'd like to speak with as many teams as possible. To make sure you also get something out of this, here's my proposal:

  1. Free as in beer. No catch, the framework is open source, I'm not trying to sell anything with this.
  2. We schedule a call, to discuss your current approach and/or plans.
  3. I give you feedback based on what you tell me.
  4. I am happy to answer any questions you bring to the call.
  5. If you're interested and it makes sense, I can demo the framework.
  6. You tell me what you think.

I estimate about 45-90 minutes for such a call.

Best case:

  • The framework meets your use-case and you benefit from using it.
  • I gain a user of my framework.

Worst case:

  • You get feedback from somebody with a ton of experience (see below) on your current or planned setup.
  • I get data points to understand how I can improve my framework.

In case you wonder about my experience: I've built and ran a Heroku like public PaaS on AWS for 8 years (cloudControl), spent 1 year at the IaaS company (Exoscale) that acquihired us, spent 1 year working on enterprise Kubernetes (CoreOS/Tectonic), left after the Red Hat acquisition and consulted enterprises on cloud, Kubernetes and containers (Container Solutions) for the last 2 years. I'm currently working full-time on Kubestack since April.

If you're interested reach out or leave a comment and let me know what you are working on.

    Great offering!

    Good deal for any new projects.

    I was wondering if you have an article or GitHub repo I can check out

      Thanks, the website has all the information and documentation: https://www.kubestack.com

      And you can find the repository here: https://github.com/kbst/terraform-kubestack

    I am a total beginner in infrastructure architecture and currently picked up AWS, after that will learn about Terraform. Not sure if I can help in any way, but let me know just in case.

      Hey, maybe give the framework a try. It helps you by giving you a fully working foundation, including Terraform and the CI/CD integration. This way, you don't have to reinvent the wheel. You can try everything on your localhost with the local lab set up.

      If you have any questions I'm available here or in the Kubernetes Slack if you want to chat.

        Thanks @pst. I will check it out. I really like the idea of it as a PaaS. How is the current feedback from the ones already using it?
