Ownkube is a developer platform that lives in your own AWS account, with named agents (Cost, Incident, Scaling, Security) that handle the recurring work of a platform team. You connect your AWS account with least-privilege access, push your code via git, and Ownkube handles the rest: building, shipping to your cloud, and watching the apps from there. The named agents run alongside: the Cost agent right-sizes workloads and auto-sleeps idle envs, the Incident agent translates crashes into plain-English root cause hints, the Scaling agent adjusts replicas ahead of traffic surges, and the Security agent flags exposed secrets and access drift.

Starter is the right default for indie developers, side projects, small-team dev environments, and anyone evaluating the platform. It runs on one AWS instance inside your AWS account and is free for teams: no Ownkube platform fee, no credit card. You only pay AWS for the underlying EC2, at wholesale rates, so AWS Activate credits stretch all the way. Production is the right choice once you have live traffic, need high availability across availability zones, or want a deeper observability story. Production is billed at $5/vCPU + $1/GB RAM per month. You can migrate from Starter to Production without replatforming. The application code and workflow are identical.

Cloudflare, included in every Ownkube project. Ownkube provisions a ready-to-share preview domain on a Cloudflare subdomain, so you can send preview URLs to customers, teammates, or stakeholders without buying a domain or setting up Route 53. You get Cloudflare's free DDoS protection, bot protection, and scrape protection out of the box. Bring your own custom domain whenever you want.

Ownkube runs Managed Postgres on your own EC2, on both Starter and Production. Fully operated by Ownkube, no managed AWS data services required. You pay only wholesale EC2 for the compute. The same Postgres workflow ships across both tiers.

AWS right now. GCP is coming soon. Everything deploys into your own cloud account, so you keep full control of your infrastructure, data, and cloud provider credits.

Yes, and burning them efficiently is the whole point. Activate credits expire in 12 to 24 months, so you want to spend them on real infrastructure before they evaporate. Ownkube runs in your own AWS account, so every Activate dollar lands as actual EC2, S3, and bandwidth. On Starter, you pay AWS only, so credits cover 100% of the bill. On Production, AWS infrastructure is billed directly to your account against your credits, and the small Ownkube platform fee ($5/vCPU + $1/GB RAM per month) is billed separately. Same applies to GCP for Startups and other provider credit programs.

Your infrastructure keeps running. Ownkube uses vanilla cloud resources, standard VPCs, load balancers, and container services, with no proprietary glue on top. If you disconnect, everything stays in your account exactly as-is. Zero vendor lock-in.

No. The four named agents (Cost, Incident, Scaling, Security) cover the work a platform team typically does: right-sizing, crash explanations, replica scaling, IAM drift detection. Indie developers and small teams can ship on Starter without any DevOps knowledge. Scaling startups on Production get the same developer experience without hiring a dedicated DevOps engineer ($180K to $250K loaded cost in the US, by current market rates). Basic cloud and container literacy helps, but nobody on the team needs infrastructure as their full-time job.
