Your project architecture, now on an interactive canvas. See how your services connect. Click a node to inspect it, restart it, or stop it - directly from the canvas. Open your project → Topology. Available in Openship 0.8.0
It’s been a few weeks since our last update, but we’ve been working on the next big step for OpenShip: You could already deploy your product with OpenShip. Now, you can scale it across servers as it grows. OpenShip now handles: > Automated cluster setup > Private networking > Application replicas (PostgreSQL & Redis) > Shared storage > Backups & recovery - Your coding agent can now be your DevOps engineer. Through MCP, Codex and Claude Code can set up clusters, deploy apps, scale instances, inspect logs, and manage backups. - The new Services Canvas brings your infrastructure into one view. See your apps, databases, running instances, and routes together. Open a service, inspect it, and make changes right there. And meet Ship SDK... We refactored the core so deployment can become part of your own code. Build workflows in JavaScript or TypeScript, control an existing OpenShip instance, or embed the engine directly into your product. - And finally, OpenShip Cloud is also live for beta testing. Our goal is a smooth deployment experience with managed environments and fair pricing, for anyone who wants to focus on their product without maintaining servers. This release also improves the everyday work: environment management, Compose migration, routing, backups, rollbacks, and deployment logs. OpenShip remains open source and self-hostable. Deploy with OpenShip. Scale with OpenShip.

Just a reminder: OpenShip Cloud is powered by OpenShip Mail. A lot of people questioned whether a self-hosted mail server could actually work reliably for things like signups, password resets, and support emails. So we decided to prove it with our own product. Every OpenShip Cloud signup, password reset, and support ticket email is sent through our free, self-hosted OpenShip Mail infrastructure. OpenShip Cloud itself is deployed using OpenShip Desktop, and we’re going to scale it using OpenShip Scaling feature too. The goal is simple: a platform that uses itself, deploys itself, and scales itself.
You don't even want to know what sending 80,000 emails would cost you in 1 week. Postmark: $100+ SendGrid: $90+ Resend: $80+ Mailgun: $80+ OpenShip: $0. Deploy it on your 5$ VPS. Unlimited domains. Unlimited inboxes. No per-email bill. No vendor lock-in. And yes - it works with one-click setup. No deep infrastructure work. Just add a few DNS records, and you're ready to go.

We’ve exposed the engine behind Openship’s control plane through an API and TypeScript SDK. Deployments, databases, domains, scaling, logs, and backups - all programmable. Build your own developer platform or AI app builder on the same engine that powers Openship. For any issue, recommendation, or contribution, please don’t hesitate to open an issue or submit a PR to help us improve OpenShip. github.com/oblien/openship

A closer look at PostgreSQL: one primary, two read replicas, and their connections in the canvas. Feedback, issues, and contributions are welcome. We’re building this in the open. github.com/oblien/openship

Update to OpenShip v0.7.1 for better stability, smoother deployments, and the new Monitoring page - watching every deployment and service. Wire it to your notification channels and know the moment anything goes down. Production needs eyes. We gave it some. 👀

One important distinction: The OpenShip control plane is already free and self-hostable. You can run it on your own machine or servers with no subscription. OpenShip Cloud takes it a step further. Your Cloud plan includes the infrastructure to actually deploy and run your apps - not just a hosted control plane. So you’re paying for the infrastructure, while the software powering it remains free. Vercel-like deployment experience, with OpenShip and the deployment infrastructure included.
OpenShip Cloud is coming soon. We’ve built the serverless control plane for OpenShip - giving you server-level power at serverless economics. We’ve scaled up our infrastructure and are stress-testing it now to make sure it’s ready for everyone. Use OpenShip to manage your own servers for free, or use OpenShip Cloud to scale your apps at serverless cost - across multiple stacks We cooked something really good, Can’t wait to show you.

Additionally, some bad guys hit us with a pretty nasty attack They exploited a logging bug and literally generated ~10TB of logs, filling the node disk to 100% and taking the server down for a while. Anyway, it’s handled now.
