PILLAR
(SELF-HOSTING PRODUCT)
2025
MADE IN MUMBAI (WIP)
A SELF-HOSTED DEPLOYMENT PLATFORM — DEPLOY ANY FULL-STACK APP WITH ONE CLI COMMAND. POINT IT AT A PROJECT DIRECTORY, AUTO-DETECT THE FRONTEND AND BACKEND FRAMEWORKS, COMPRESS AND SHIP BOTH TO A SERVER, AND SPIN UP ISOLATED DOCKER CONTAINERS — ALL WHILE STREAMING REAL-TIME LOGS BACK TO YOUR TERMINAL.
A DISTRIBUTED SYSTEM WITH THREE INDEPENDENTLY DEPLOYABLE SERVICES. THE REDIS PUB/SUB LAYER DECOUPLES THE WORKER FROM THE WEBSOCKET SERVER SO EITHER CAN RESTART WITHOUT DROPPING A DEPLOYMENT.
ARCHITECTURE:
FEATURES:
FRAMEWORK AUTO-DETECTION
THE CLI'S DETECTOR PACKAGE INSPECTS PACKAGE.JSON AND DIRECTORY STRUCTURE TO IDENTIFY FRONTEND AND BACKEND FRAMEWORKS WITHOUT ANY CONFIG FILE FROM THE USER.
REAL-TIME LOG STREAMING
WEBSOCKET + REDIS PUB/SUB PIPELINE DELIVERS DEPLOYMENT EVENTS FROM WORKER → REDIS → API → CLI WITH PER-DEPLOYMENT CHANNEL ISOLATION. CLI RECONNECTS GRACEFULLY AND FALLS BACK TO POLLING.
DUAL STORAGE BACKEND
ARCHIVES STORED ON S3 OR LOCAL FILESYSTEM, TOGGLED TRANSPARENTLY VIA ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES. THE WORKER RETRIEVES THEM BY URL REGARDLESS OF WHICH BACKEND IS ACTIVE.
CONTAINERIZED ISOLATION
EACH DEPLOYMENT GETS ITS OWN DOCKER CONTAINER WITH RANDOMIZED HOST PORTS SO PROJECTS NEVER CONFLICT. WORKER AUTO-SELECTS THE BASE IMAGE (NODE, PYTHON, GO) FROM DETECTOR OUTPUT.
AUTOMATIC ENV WIRING
PLATFORM AUTO-INJECTS BACKEND URL INTO THE FRONTEND ENV USING FRAMEWORK-AWARE VARIABLE NAMES (VITE_API_URL, REACT_APP_API_URL) AND DATABASE_URL WHEN A DATABASE IS PROVISIONED.
SCHEMA-ENFORCED DATA MODEL
POSTGRESQL SCHEMA WITH UUIDS, JSONB COLUMNS FOR FLEXIBLE CONFIG STORAGE, INDEXED FOREIGN KEYS, AND A PLPGSQL TRIGGER TO AUTO-UPDATE UPDATED_AT ON EVERY ROW CHANGE.
STACK:
GO * COBRA * NODE.JS * EXPRESS * POSTGRESQL * REDIS * BULL * WEBSOCKET
DOCKER * SSH2 * MINIO / S3 * JOI * DOCKERODE * TYPESCRIPT
