Hey HN,
I built Runix (runixcloud.dev), a deployment platform for backends that aren't Node.js.
The problem: Vercel is great but it's essentially JavaScript-only for real backends. Railway and Render work but still require you to write Dockerfiles and understand container configuration. Vibe coders using Cursor or Bolt can build a FastAPI or Spring Boot backend in minutes but have nowhere clean to deploy it.
Runix solves this: connect your GitHub repo, push code, get a live URL. That's it. No Dockerfile. No config files. No Docker knowledge required.
How it works:
Detects your runtime automatically (Rust, Java, Go, Python, Node, Ruby, Elixir, .NET)
Generates an optimized Dockerfile using Claude AI
Builds and runs your container
Gives you a subdomain instantly: yourapp.runixcloud.dev
Auto-provisions Postgres, Redis, or Kafka if your code needs them
The entire platform is built in Rust. The API, the build pipeline, the reverse proxy, the container orchestration. Runs on bare metal in Europe, not re-sold AWS.
What makes it different from Railway and Render:
No Dockerfile ever required, AI generates it from your code
Supports languages they don't prioritize: Rust, Java, Elixir, .NET
Flat predictable pricing, no surprise bills
Built on owned infrastructure so margins let us stay cheaper
Current status: beta, fully functional, first paying customers onboarded.
Happy to answer anything, especially brutal feedback on what's missing or where the positioning is wrong.

Render does not require a Dockerfile or understanding containers. It can also detect your runtime and deploy your app without ever generating a Dockerfile.
