It's so liberating to go back to simple straightforward push deployments.
Like old-school Ansible over SSH but feeling more like a modern container orchestrator.
It took me a decade to come full circle.
If you've been around long enough, you probably remember the evolution: configuration management tools, then the Docker boom, followed by the race of container orchestrators.
K8s eventually won and we all agreed that the correct way to deploy software is:
1. Declare desired state (I want to run this service, don’t care how)
2. Let background controllers make it a reality continuously
3. Hope nothing silently fails
4. Set up a dozen different alerts so we actually know when it does
5. Every failure means tracing numerous resources, events, and logs to figure out the actual chain of actions and the root cause
6. And now adding more fuel into the fire - AI agents to help keep up with all this
That’s the current norm. One solution that fits all. Sadly many engineers don't even know alternatives or question this because that’s what they all do.
Reconciliation loops are brilliant engineering. At massive scale, you do need these autonomous controllers pulling and converging state and healing the dynamic system. It’s impractical to build a reliable synchronous workflow that would reliably manage services on thousands of machines over SSH.
But the main tradeoff is poor visibility and troubleshooting.
We can do better for smaller scale - which is most of the web apps tbf. But we need to go back and revisit the choices, not put more duct tape.
We can keep the declarative definitions and reconciliation but run it synchronously on the client, not in a background loop you have no visibility into.
You run the deploy, you see the result, you get a clear error if it fails. You instantly see what went wrong and what to troubleshoot or retry if needed. Your automated pipeline could do this too of course.
And so this is how we designed Uncloud - push-based deployments with the lessons from the orchestrator era. Check out 👇

today is my last day in bangkok, thailand 🇹🇭
here are a few things i learned while being here:
– insanely good local food + drink for about $2
– i often went on night walks with headphones and never felt unsafe
– great thai massages for about $8 per hour
– thai people are incredibly friendly even if you don’t speak the language
– many places are open 24/7 which makes the city feel alive all the time
– amazing cafés and coworking spaces everywhere
– so many beautiful places you never see everything
– grab (like uber here) is insanely cheap
– people really appreciate tips here
– lots of interesting people you can meet and learn from
– going out without my phone made it easy to talk to new people
i ended up meeting a lot of people that way
– my place had a great gym and pool which helped me stay balanced
bangkok was an incredible experience :)

My SaaS has 1,200 users.
I have not written a single line of code.
Not one. Zero. Literally zero.
I'm 18. No CS degree. No technical co-founder.
I describe features in plain English.
My AI dev (Claude Code) builds it, tests it, opens the PR.
3 AI agents review every pull request before it merges.
It ships code while I sleep.
All I have is a MacBook and an AI agent running in tmux.
This is your sign to start building today.

I never fully understood the build process because I've always coded without frameworks
I always felt the faster I could see the code I just typed in action, the faster my feedback loop and the faster I can ship and improve my products
Waiting even a minute to build would destroy that feedback loop and make me way slower
I can do lots of mini edits and see each instead of batching them and then building!

My simple PHP JS stack without any build works incredibly well with AI because it's so simply and basic
