GitOps Workflow

Manage blue-green deployments, versioned releases and preview environments through declarative Git workflows without maintaining separate deployment infrastructure.

Hypermedia web apps

Build fast, lightweight hypermedia web apps with server-driven HTML, minimal JavaScript and substantially less frontend complexity.

Secrets Management

Securely provide application secrets through AWS Secrets Manager, HashiCorp Vault and other configured secret providers.

Auto-Stop Idle Apps

Automatically stop idle application containers and scale their resource usage down to zero until the next incoming request.

PostgreSQL, MySQL + SQLite Bindings

Automatically provision isolated PostgreSQL schemas and roles, MySQL databases and users, and persistent SQLite storage for apps.

Managed SQLite + Litestream

Deploy SQLite apps with continuous Litestream replication to S3-compatible storage and automatic restore after volume or node loss.

Autogen Actions

Generate secure form-based interfaces for backend operations automatically, eliminating custom frontend development for routine administrative actions.

Audit Events

Capture application operations and API activity automatically, with searchable audit events plus support for custom business events.

OpenTelemetry

Export detailed application requests, container lifecycle activity, distributed traces and platform metrics through OpenTelemetry-compatible OTLP endpoints.

Container management

Build and deploy containerized applications automatically across Docker, Podman or Kubernetes using the same declarative configuration.

Self-hosted PaaS alternative

Run web apps on your own VPS or Kubernetes cluster with GitOps and no proprietary cloud platform dependency.

Cross-platform support

Run OpenRun consistently on Linux, Windows and macOS with Docker, Podman or Kubernetes as the container backend.

Auto TLS Certificates

Generate and renew trusted TLS certificates automatically for applications served across multiple domains, subdomains and custom hostnames.

Powerful access controls

Protect applications with OAuth, OpenID Connect, SAML or client certificates, backed by flexible role-based access controls.

Domain-based and path-based routing

Route applications by domain, subdomain or URL path while OpenRun manages ingress, proxying and deployment changes automatically.

Zero-config dev env setup

Create reproducible local development environments automatically from application configuration, with minimal manual setup or infrastructure knowledge.

Blue-green Deployment

Stage application code and configuration changes in an isolated environment before promoting the verified release into production.

Security Sandbox

Run Starlark-based application code inside a permission-controlled security sandbox with explicit allowlists for sensitive platform operations.

Management Console

Manage applications, deployments, service bindings, containers, audit events and server configuration through OpenRun’s browser-based administration console.
