We Hated Cloud Complexity. So We Fixed It.
Stackserver exists because developers deserve infrastructure that gets out of the way. Not infrastructure that becomes the project.
The Short Version
We're developers who spent years building products on top of major cloud platforms. The pattern was always the same: 20% writing application code, 80% fighting with consoles, permissions, networking rules, and billing dashboards.
We kept asking the same question: why can't we just define what we need in a file and have it work?
So we built exactly that. Stackserver takes a YAML config and turns it into running infrastructure. No console. No ticket. No 3-week onboarding process with a "solutions architect." Write what you need, deploy, and get back to your actual job.
What We Believe
Config Over Console
If you can't define it in a file, it shouldn't exist. Every part of your infrastructure should live in version control, be reviewable in a PR, and be reproducible with a single command.
Convention Over Configuration
Sensible defaults for everything. SSL, networking, scaling rules, health checks — they all work out of the box. Override when you need to. But most of the time, you won't need to.
Shipping Over Meetings
Every feature we build gets measured by one question: does this help a developer ship faster? If the answer is no, we don't build it. We'd rather have fewer features that work perfectly than a sprawling platform nobody understands.
What We Ship
We don't ship features. We ship developer time savings. Every release is measured by one metric: time from "I have code" to "it's live in production."
Zero-config SSL
Certificates are issued and renewed automatically. You never think about HTTPS — it just works.
Instant rollbacks
Every deploy creates an immutable snapshot. Rolling back is a single command with zero downtime.
Preview environments
Every pull request gets its own isolated preview URL. Review infrastructure changes before they land.
Built-in observability
Logs, metrics, and traces are collected automatically. No agents to install, no config to write.
Multi-region in one line
Add a region to your config. That's it. Traffic is routed automatically based on latency.
Secrets management
Encrypted at rest, injected at runtime. No .env files in production. Rotate keys without redeploying.
Open Tooling
Our CLI is open-source. Our YAML schema is publicly documented. Our build packs are forkable and extensible. We believe developer tools should be transparent, inspectable, and community-driven.
We contribute to the open-source projects we depend on and maintain libraries that make infrastructure more accessible. Vendor lock-in is the opposite of what we stand for.
Less YAML. More shipping.
We keep the config simple so you can focus on the code that actually matters.
