There is indeed a large gap in the market between outsourcing all your infrastructure to Hyperscalers vs. hosting it on DIY-bare-metal and/or VPC providers. An open source alternative to AWS would do much to fill that gap, and we are b

Our naming intent is for a "ubiquitous" cloud, one that can run anywhere -- no affliations! :)

Ubicloud cofounder here, thanks for the question! You can think of Ubicloud as software that takes bare metal servers as its input, and provides VMs and other cloud infrastructure services as its output. You can self-host Ubicloud on your o

Ubicloud cofounder here. Thanks and yes, the magnitude of it was surprising to us, and that for a common use-case. The default runners you get for Github Actions if you are compiling ARM code is x86, which uses qemu emulation. That default

That’s great to hear, thank you! Please feel free to email us if you have questions. For pricing, the first link is for VMs, and the second is for managed database instances, which also have 5x more disk. You’re right in that we should aggr

Thank you! Quick notes: - Resizing instances after provisioning is a manual operation for now. We'd use the same backup machinery that exists to automate it; until then you could do it manually or we're happy to help through a sup

We also have a talk that one of our core team members gave earlier today at PGConf.EU that goes through some of the inner workings of our managed service. Its video is not posted yet given it's been just several hours, but should be av

Right now, we have an early block store (EBS) that is non-replicated, and that we are testing and using internally. Over time, we will expose it as a service as well. But object store (S3) will come first.

Yes, ack on both. We already do point-in-time-restore your database with 1-minute granularity. And the docs are thin currently; we will add more to them. We're using the same core control plane approach that still powers multiple Postg

Ah, I see. The key part above is "to third parties". If you're using ubicloud to provide a managed/hosted service for yourself, or your company, that's wonderful. You could even be a massive organization and do that

It means that our source code is open and transparent to all of our users. You can use it for free, modify it, or even re-distribute it - the main restriction is that you are not offering it as a managed service to third parties. If you hav
