You can now remotely debug your application in your customers’ environments.

BYOC lives or dies on reliability.

For Alien's pull-mode deployments, the operator needs to survive restarts, network loss, telemetry backpressure, and partial deploys - all inside customer environments you don't control.

That's why we partnered with @tursodatabase for a highly-reliable, embedded, encrypted local database.

You can now collect logs from all your BYOC deployments

We're launching the @alien platform today, backed by a $5M seed from @BasisSet, Jibe, and angels from OpenAI, Google, and Databricks.

We’ve built it so that when your next $300K enterprise deal says they have this tiny little requirement:

"Can you deploy into our cloud?"

... you can just say YES.

You can ship fast, stay in control, and when something breaks, you don't have to debug through screenshots, copy-pasted logs, and Zoom calls.

Here's a short demo video ⬇️

hey @thdxr, as an alien, I can tell you that there are 1 MILLION enterprise users just *waiting* to use your product in extremely dumb/simple ways

but they can't, because their enterprise security team won't allow them. there's no chance they'll share codebase or even prompts with an external vendor

now you provide self-hosting and that's great... but here's the thing about these enterprises users:

just like they'll use your product in extremely dumb/simple ways, it's too complicated for them to start self hosting lol. they either don't know how, too lazy to maintain and manage it, and don't want to take responsibility for updates or security vulnerabilities

the funny thing though is that these enterprise customers will probably increase your acv by 999999%

to get to those 1 million enterprise users you need a special kind of self-hosting where everything is fully managed by you. I'm a friendly alien and I can help!
