Self-hosted deployment automation

Offer a managed version of open-source deployment tools for teams wanting more control than SaaS platforms provide.

Why now

The popularity of golive-skill shows demand for infrastructure automation that doesn't lock you into a vendor.

Who for
devops teams wanting control
Business model
subscription management
Effort
A few weeks

Teams need deployment automation but distrust black-box SaaS solutions that own their infrastructure credentials.

Package the golive-skill approach as a managed service where customers retain full control of their cloud accounts.

Charge monthly for the management layer while all credentials stay with the customer.

Start by supporting AWS only with basic deployment workflows.

Risk is complexity scaring away less technical teams who might prefer turnkey solutions.
