Hello,
We are creating a b2b SaaS app that will need access to your codebase. As you might imagine not all companies are happy with sharing their codebases with third parties.
I was researching self-hosting options but honestly, all of them seem kind of complicated. So decided to borrow the wisdom of the HN crowd.
Here are a few options I came up with:
1) Use docker-compose -> This is probably a no-go. We are e2e testing app running headless Chrome with codebase access. So you would need to give us quite a huge VM.
2) Packaged Kubernetes - This could work but we would need to run everything including the database inside the k8 cluster. And figure out a way to somehow package it including all of the operators etc
3) Bring your own cloud - For a small startup like ours (3 people) this seems like the most realistic option. You will give us a GCP project and we will point our terraform there. In a few minutes, you should have your deployment ready.
I should also mention that I know for HIPAA and very security-conscious companies cloud approach is a no-go. But we would first target smaller startups (20-100 engineers).
For those who work in such environments would you be ok with that?
Bonus question:
Or would you share your codebase with a SaaS app that has SOC2 type II compliance?
