+Show HN: Open-source Heroku PaaS alternative
+
+Hey HN,
+
+I’m the creator of Kubero, an open-source PaaS. I've been working on it for the past 3 years. The idea was born during Heroku’s major outage in 2022, when I realized how much we rely on closed platforms — and how fragile that can be. The main goal is to keep the workflows and simplicity of Heroku, but with the freedom and control of self-hosting. Developers are empowered to take charge of their infrastructure. No infrastructure hassle — just push your code, and it runs.
+
+Kubero is running on Kubernetes, as an operator. It comes with an intuitive web UI, Accessible API, and a CLI. It supports Dockerfiles, Nixpacks, Runpacks, and Buildpacks for building your applications. You can deploy any containerized app with ease. Or just use the 170+ pre-configured templates to get started quickly. It’s designed to be user-friendly, even for those who aren’t Kubernetes experts.
+
+💡 Core Features:
+- Run any docker container with Add-Ons (Postgres, Redis, etc.)
+- Git-based deployments (just git push)
+- Starting Apps with a pull request
+- High availability and autoscaling
+- App metrics and logs
+- 170+ pre-configured templates for quick setup
+- API for automation and integration
+- CLI for easy management and installation
+- Web-Console and Logs in the UI
+- SSL handling with cert manager
+... 
+
+I’ve also put together a detailed feature comparison with Heroku here:
+👉 https://www.kubero.dev/docs/comparison-heroku
+
+🔥 What’s New in v3:
+- Built-in User Management –> Roles, API tokens, permission system.
+- Team Views –> Manage multiple teams/projects in one instance.
+- Multi-language support (English, German, Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese, ... more to come)
+- Tested and Stable –> 500+ Jest tests, ~85% test coverage.
+
+Kubero is 100% open source and welcomes contributors. If you’ve ever wanted more control over your app platform — or just want a break from vendor lock-in — give it a try!
+
+
+Happy to answer questions and get your feedback!

+title: Kubero v3 – Now Powered by NestJS 🚀
+authors: [gianni]
+tags: [kubero, release]
+---
+*Hey everyone,*
+
+I'm excited to announce that **Kubero v3.0.0 is officially out!** 🎉
+
+This release marks a major internal overhaul — we’ve refactored the entire backend and migrated from Express.js to NestJS. **All features from v2 have been migrated and remain fully available.**
+
+---
+
+## Why the switch to NestJS?
+
+Kubero was initially built as a Proof of Concept during Heroku's major outage in 2022. While Express served us well in v1 and v2, NestJS brings significant advantages that will help Kubero evolve into a more scalable, secure, and maintainable platform:
+
+- **Modular Architecture**  
+  NestJS encourages a well-structured, modular codebase, making it easier to manage features and scale. This also lowers the barrier for contributors to dive in and build with us.
+
+- **Improved Security**  
+  Kubero now uses **JWT tokens** for authentication, replacing the older session-based method. This improves both security and maintainability.
+
+- **Better Logging and Error Handling**  
+  NestJS provides enhanced support for logging and centralized error handling out of the box.
+
+- **Thriving Ecosystem**  
+  The NestJS ecosystem, with its integration libraries and support, helps us provide powerful new features faster and more efficiently.
+
+## Whats new in V3
+
+- **Built in User management**  
+  Kubero now includes a user management system with roles and API tokens, allowing you to control access and permissions more effectively.
+
+- **Team Views**  
+  You can now manage multiple teams and projects within Kubero, making it easier to collaborate and share resources.
+
+- **Multi-language Support**  
+  Kubero is now fully translated into multiple languages, including English, German, Japanese, Chinese, and Portuguese. More languages can be added upon request.
+
+- **Simplified API**  
+  The API has been redesigned to be more intuitive, with clearer endpoints and improved documentation.
+
+- **More Tests = More Stability**  
+  We’ve added extensive Jest tests (more than 500) — the new codebase has **~85% test coverage**, ensuring a more stable and reliable experience.
+
+## What about the frontend?
+The frontend has been slightly modernised, while keeping Kubero's UI as clean and simple as possible, with the intuitive interface you're familiar with from v2. This means:
+
+- No changes are required to your workflows or usage patterns.
+- Your existing deployments, dashboards, and settings will look and behave the same.
+- All Templates, Addons, and features from v2 are fully compatible.
+
+## Upgrade Notes
+
+- **In-place upgrade**: Simply update the Kubero UI container tag - Thats it!
+- If you're using the CLI, make sure to update to version `3.0.0`.
+- If you're integrating Kubero’s API into your own toolchain, note that the API paths have changed. See the [API documentation](https://demo.kubero.dev/api/docs) for details.
+
+---
+
+Kubero remains proudly **open-source and community-driven**. 
+
+Would love to hear your feedback, questions, or thoughts. Thanks for being part of the journey!

+Kubero: The self-hosted Heroku/Coolify alternative, is released in version v3
+
+Hey everyone,
+
+I'm excited to announce that Kubero v3 is officially out! 🎉
+
+I'm the maintainer of Kubero and today I've published version 3.0.0 of Kubero. This release comes with a major internal overhaul — the entire backend has been refactored and migrated from Express.js to NestJS. I worked about 6 Month on it and about 40K of lines have been changed. 
+The frontend has now built in a Teams- and Usermanagement. So you can create teams which might share or not share projects. 
+Role base Access has been implemented. So every User has a specific role with dedicated permissions.
+
+
+#🔥 What is Kubero?
+Kubero is a self-hosted PaaS alternative to Heroku, Vercel, and Coolify running on any Kubernetes cluster.  The UI makes it simple to deploy your code with GitOps workflows and simplifies the deployment of any containerized apps on Kubernetes. Imagine a simplified argoCD that requires no Kubernetes and Helm-Chart knowledge to deploy your apps. It is 100% open source and self-hosted.
+
+Some Features:
+- 170+ Templates
+- Running high available on Kubernetes
+- Web Console and Logs
+- SSL handling
+- Vulnerability Scans
+- GitOps Deployments
+...
+
+
+# 🚀 What’s new in v3?
+- User Management with roles and API-Tokens
+- Team Views to manage multiple teams and projects
+- RBAC Access with fine grained permissions 
+- Fully translated to 5 Languages (English, German, Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese, ... more on request)
+- JWT authentication – replacing session-based auth for better security
+- API redesigned – unified and cleaner endpoints, https://demo.kubero.dev/api/docs
+- Improved logging & error handling
+- 86% test coverage with more than 500 Jest tests
+
+# 📦 Upgrade Notes
+- In-place upgrade — just update the tag to v3.0.0. All features and configurations are compatible with v2. Existing user will be migrated.
+- CLI users: update to v3.0.0
+- If you’re using the API directly, note the new paths in api docs noted above
+
+Would love your feedback, questions, or suggestions! 🙌
+
+# 🛠️ Future Plans
+- Crossplane integration for managing cloud resources
+- Built in telemetry for better application insights
+- Improve Monitoring for Addons (See how many queries your database has)
+- Self-registration for users (Optional)

 The collaborative model fosters innovation and security, as the code is continuously audited and improved. Open-source ensures sustainability, allowing the community to maintain and evolve the platform over time. Kubero’s transparency, adaptability, and community-driven approach make it a reliable and ethical choice for application deployment.
 
 ## Buildpacks
-Kubero supports dockerfiles, [nixpacks](https://nixpacks.com/docs/getting-started) and [buildpacks.io](https://buildpacks.io/), a cloud-native application packaging format that automates the build and deployment process. Buildpacks are a standardized way to package applications, providing a consistent and efficient workflow for developers. They automatically detect, compile, and configure applications, simplifying the deployment process and reducing errors.

 ## Pull Request Apps
 Kubero’s pull request apps feature enables developers to create temporary environments for testing code changes. Pull request apps are automatically deployed when a pull request is opened, providing a dedicated environment for reviewing and testing changes. This feature streamlines the code review process, allowing developers to validate changes in a real-world environment before merging them.
