I'm working on Infrastry, a completely hands-off approach to deploying all kinds of (web) apps. You paste in a repo and Infrastry takes it from there, determining what type of software it is, how it should run, what should be configured, and then provisions to the internet and monitors it over time. It works very well for being so early, which is quite exciting!
The control plane is entirely in Elixir, using Jido & Oban to help power tools it gives an agent to get your app deployed. Uses k8s currently for the infra, but I've made the app => spec => build => deploy layers completely agnostic so we could switch out providers & methodologies in the future.
Looking for people who want to throw apps at, it's still early so no guarantees yet. You can find the website at https://infrastry.ai/ (still a brain wreck of ideas, working on it!) and I made a Discord for feedback at https://discord.gg/sBkS5ZMM3t

I'm not a customer, but having seen the workflows lawyers go through with documents this product would be extremely useful. I suspect your challenge will be that most laywers are likely risk averse, and would hesitate to put any important changes through something that is not well vetted. I wonder if there's a way to combat that by keeping your product compatible with their usual format, therefor making it a less risky product to try?
Great question - it aims for 100% compatibility with MS Word documents. It falls over on the rendering side, but guarantees not to drop data or miss any text. If you see it on your screen, someone using Word will see it too.
Getting it onto the desktop is the big challenge for the moment!
Timely posting! I've been inspired by some recent... large gaps in data at work (silent analytics processing failures) to build a service called QueryCanary. It's a surprisingly powerful but simple tool that lets you define scheduled SQL checks to run against your database, and then checks those results for anomalies, variances, and other issues.
Really hoping to get some early feedback on this tool, I've been using it for two production sites for about a week now and I've already discovered (at work) that we've had the 2nd largest user signup day, and that we deployed a change that inaccurately tracked a specific metric. Check it out at https://querycanary.com
I'm working on a workflow automation tool that lets devs write workflows in simple yaml files, and then deploy them to the cloud _or_ on premise. Each workflow is a set of actions and a trigger that can transform data, make api calls, run AI models, or really anything (via docker!). Each step relies on the output of the last step, and the workflow framework is engineering to be declarative, testable, and versioned. Similar to GitHub actions, but for *anything*. Think webhook to slack, email to support ticket, nightly aws backup & restore, mirror a file each night, etc.
I was able to do it pretty easily with a mobile app, should be just as easy on desktop. You could even register custom “pages” for various parts of the desktop app.
