Hatchbox is a deployment platform that lets developers deploy Rails, Ruby, and Node.js applications to servers they own, such as DigitalOcean, Hetzner, AWS, Linode, or Vultr. It provisions the server, builds from the user's git repository, manages processes, and handles SSL through Caddy. It automatically detects supported frameworks from the repository and requires no buildpacks or Dockerfiles, and includes zero-downtime deploys, cron jobs, background workers, and managed databases.
