We got tired of deploys failing with no explanation — so we built Openstead

Getting an app online should feel like part of building it. Instead you're wiring up build commands, env vars, networking, HTTPS — then guessing why it broke.

We've worked through failed deploys where the status alone told the developer nothing. A green build doesn't help if the app won't start.

So we built Openstead — managed hosting for web apps, APIs, static sites and workers, with managed PostgreSQL and MySQL. Connect a GitHub repo, review the build, deploy. You get HTTPS, history, logs and auto-deploy on push.

Debug with AI handles the failures: it reads redacted logs + source context, suggests a diagnosis, and can open a draft PR. You review it. Nothing auto-merges.

Static hosting
512 MiB RAM / 0.1 shared CPU, 750 hrs/month
500 build minutes/month
7 days of logs
One MySQL Free database

Honest limits: free services sleep after 15 min idle · free files are ephemeral · databases are single-node · West Europe only, no SLA · AI debugging can be wrong — a patch isn't a tested fix.

We're early. Deploy something small and tell me where you get stuck — confusing setting, silent build failure, price that didn't match. Include your framework and the error; no secrets.

Tell me what's broken. I'll investigate this week.
