docstube generates documentation from your codebase, fact-checks every claim against the source, writes it for the people actually reading it, and keeps it in sync as your code changes. What sets it apart from other such tools is its advanced verification engine (validates both deterministically and using AI agents). So you can actually trust the outcome.

It's currently in private alpha, and not ready for testing. Public launch is planned for first half of 08/2026.

An alternative to tools lik sst.dev or serverless framework, or a PaaS services like Render.com or Flightcontrol.

Deploys to user's own AWS. IaC-first. Has a PaaS-like console UI.

The best features: auto-generates IaC config by scanning your code. Has built-in EC2 runner which is 2-6x faster than AWS CodeBuild.

We've now also implemented dev mode, which is similar to SST. It deploys parts of the stacks that can't be locally emulated (lambda functions, cognito, etc.) with fast re-deploy, and emulates everything else (containers, SQL databases, Redis, DynamoDb, etc.) locally. This means testing/developing is pretty much free, and you have the fastest feedback loops possible.

Whole Stacktape, and dev mode in particular is also very optimized for coding agents with `--agent` flag.

To try it, run `npx stacktape init`

EDIT: Changed the link to github. Stacktape core is now open-source.

Stacktape is a PaaS that deploy to user's own AWS account.

v3 adds many new features, but namely the ability to generate IaC config directly from code, by analyzing the user's repository (both deterministically and using multiple AI techniques).

For example, if it assumes your application is a Web API that uses Postgres and Redis, it will create a Stacktape IaC config that deploys Fargate container, load balancer, Aurora Serverless v2 Postgres and Elasticache Redis (behind the scenes it will also configure things like networking, VPC, security groups, IAM, etc.)

Launching this weekend.

I like what you're doing. But, to behonst, it's a tough market. While the promise of $265 vs $4 might seem like a no-brainer, you're comparing apples to oranges.

- Your DX is most likely be far from Heroku's. Their developer experience is refined by 100,000s developers. It's hard to think through everything, and you're very unlikely to make it anywhere close, once you go beyond simple use-cases.

- A "single VM" setup is not really production-grade. You're lacking reliability, scalability, redundancy and many more features that these platforms have. It definitely works for low-traffic side-projects. But people or entities that actually have a budget for something like this, and are willing to pay, are usually looking for a different solution.

That being said, I wish you all the luck. Maybe things change it the AI-generated apps era.

It's a Heroku-like PaaS platform that deploys directly to your own AWS account.

It support both serverless (lambda functions), and serverful (AWS ECS Fargate or EC2) deployments. Besides that, it supports other AWS infrastructure resources, such as RDS, Aurora, Redis, ElasticSearch, etc..

You can deploy from console, using git-push-to-deploy, or even use preview deployments (ephemeral environments for every PR).

https://stacktape.com is a Heroku/Vercel-like PaaS platform that deploys directly to your own AWS account.

It supports both serverless (lambda functions), and serverful (AWS ECS Fargate or EC2) deployments. Besides that, it supports other AWS infrastructure resources, such as RDS MySQL/Postgres, Redis, ElasticSearch, etc..

You can deploy from console, using git-push-to-deploy, or even use preview deployments (ephemeral environments for every PR).

Compared to alternatives, it's both very easy to use, and flexible/extensible at the same time. You can use it to quickly deploy anything in a few minutes, yet it will be sufficient to cover even complex infrastructure needs you might run into in the future.

You can also have a look at https://stacktape.com (full disclosure: I'm a founder). It's a Heroku-like PaaS that deploys to your own AWS account.

We support both serverless and container-based workloads (Fargate and EC2), and many AWS infrastructure (RDS, Aurora, MongoDb, Redis, OpenSearch - ElasticSearch, Bastion servers, etc.).

We're IaC-first but also provide a UI for.

We can do a hans-on assistance with the first deployment, and can also do a custom pricing (as you are a non-profit).
