Ruslan here.

I once posted here a story how I got AWS $4k surprise bill for one day (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31907374), which is why I built DollarDeploy. I believe 95% of apps don't need complicated AWS infrastructure and can be hosted using simple server from Hetzner, Digital Ocean, etc.

Today I am launching an AI agent on DollarDeploy. The AI agent can automatically build and deploy your NextJS/React, Go, Rust, or other types of apps to your own servers, running all commands via SSH on your server. You just type your commands or paste your GitHub repo link!

DollarDeploy is similar to Dokploy expected there is no self-hosted version, because we want to offer a simple solution which you don't configure and maintain - just add your GitHub repo and you are good to go.

What makes DollarDeploy different is that we run apps as isolated Systemd processes on your server, and you can install Redis, Postgres, and other services to your host in a single click. Everything works locally, with low overhead as normal Linux processes, without the need of third party services.

Try deploying your app — takes under 5 minutes. Looking for your feedback and opinion! Happy to answer any questions you have!

FAQ: 1) To use DollarDeploy, you need to bring your own server or provision one directly through UI/AI. 2) We have 14-day trial. 3) We are using OpenAI LLMs (probably will change soon) 4) You can use quick boilerplate to launch the app, or a template for open source software, including running GPT-OSS LLM model
