About Build & Ship
Deploy anywhere. Scale everywhere. Own everything.
Platforms are great -- until they are not.
Platforms like Vercel, Railway, and Render made deploying easy. But they also made it theirs. Surprise bills. Cold starts. Vendor lock-in. Violate a vague TOS clause and your app goes dark overnight. Hit a traffic spike on the free tier and wake up to an invoice you never agreed to.
You built the app. Why doesn't it run on YOUR hardware?
One command. Your hardware. Public URL.
Build & Ship detects your framework, containerizes your app, deploys with zero-downtime blue-green swaps, runs health checks, and gives you a public URL -- all on machines you own. No cloud bills. No platform risk.
About 30 seconds, start to finish.
No platform risk
Your app runs on YOUR machine. No vendor can pull the rug. Your infrastructure, your rules.
No surprise bills
Free forever. You provide the hardware, we provide the tooling. There is no usage meter ticking up while you sleep.
No vendor lock-in
Standard Docker containers. Eject anytime, keep everything. If you stop using Build & Ship tomorrow, your app still runs.
Full control
SSH into your box. Read the logs. Own the stack. Custom domains, environment variables, databases -- all yours. No support ticket required.
Vibe coders
Built it with AI in 20 minutes? Ship it in 30 seconds. No DevOps degree required.
Developers burned by platforms
Tired of $300 bills for a side project? Host it yourself. Your machine, your rules, your wallet.
Indie hackers
Ship fast, keep costs at zero, iterate without friction. Build in public without paying a platform tax.
Anyone with a machine
Got a laptop, Mac Mini, or VPS? That is all you need. If it runs Docker, it runs your app.
The CLI is MIT licensed. Every line of code that runs on your machine is readable. No black boxes, no trust-me binaries. The controller and Cloudflare Workers are proprietary.
