Primcloud

You've got a product to ship.

[Primcloud @primcloud]

Every build on Primcloud now runs on Hopper, the first generation of the Primcloud Runtime.

Named for Grace Hopper, who built the first compiler, the original "turn source into something that runs."

Just loaded my X card into the @primcloud credit system. The first 150 customers to deploy an app after I remove the approval gate will get $5 credited to their accounts to cover their first month of a modest app needs.

[Josh @joshmanders]

Just gave @primcloud (https://t.co/fHjFZPIvc5) a new fresh coat of paint. Documentation is also up and a new pricing wizard so you can see what your apps needs would cost a month.

Hi I'm Josh and I built a cloud hosting platform @primcloud by myself.

Every feature available under the standard tier is ready right now, you just can't use it yet.

Why? Because Monday the 21st is my mom's birthday and I promised her I would launch then as a gift, so you gotta wait.

But you can sign up today and after onboarding you will get an email the moment I launch on Monday telling you that you're in.

I also have a great easter egg hidden in the platform for everyone who deploys an application.

$500/mo. That's the baseline it costs for me to keep @primcloud online and primed to scale up with customer demands.

I have designed this platform in such a way that after this, the platform costs scale with revenue.

Getting ready to remove the BETA label from @primcloud.

[Josh @joshmanders]

Pushed new landing page for @primcloud tonight.

[Josh @joshmanders]

Coming later this week: Beta label gets removed and @primcloud opens up to everyone.

POST-MORTEM: https://t.co/cwbIxovZDg TLS Certificate Expiration

SEVERITY: High (for us)
IMPACT: Dashboard down. Customer apps: fine.
CUSTOMERS AFFECTED: @yasinkavakliat. (He'll be fine.)

We set up automatic cert renewal for customer apps via @cloudflare for SaaS. The dashboard, being special and important, used Let's Encrypt ACME directly. It did not renew. It expired.

ROOT CAUSE: We are our own worst customer.

RESOLUTION: Moved dashboard behind Cloudflare too. Decided we trust Cloudflare more than ourselves.

NEXT STEPS: Stop being special.

[Josh @joshmanders]

I'm flabbergasted at how insanely great of a product @Cloudflare for SaaS is and how stupidly simple it is to use.

Anyway, CDN now available on @primcloud but we won't expose your customers private data.

[Josh @joshmanders]

Welp, it's safe to say my tests for @primcloud billing have concluded successfully.

I've ran 2 test apps and a real website of mine on it for 30+ days.

March 21st, 2026 doors will be opened to the public.

[Josh @joshmanders]

Just shipped schedule and one-off commands for @primcloud.

[Primcloud @primcloud]

@23_ @joshmanders We have a strict data policy and that is no data is provided to anybody that doesn't need said data. Therefore we do not authenticate with options that are not necessary.

One minute and 4 seconds to build and deploy an app on @primcloud.

Primcloud is officially protected by @cloudflare with the feature I just released tonight. Custom domains. The first is my own blog officially migrated over to Primcloud. No longer a hello world, but a real website. https://t.co/5vsayhI99d

[Josh @joshmanders]

Not bad. Current state of @primcloud.
