Dokkur - the first PaaS from Russia
Hi, Habrayuzer!
We are a small development team of four people, and we want to present our PaaS, an analogue of Heroku, to your court.
Working for quite a long time on the web development market, at some point we were faced with the problem of competent application management. Setting up our servers turned out to be not a very quick solution for us, and the variety of technologies created an additional load.
Having tried Heroku as a solution, we understood what quality and convenience are. The only thing that bit is the price. Therefore, about 4 months ago we set a goal to make our own platform. And we made it. Meet Dokkur - the first full-fledged PaaS from Russia!

This is a cheap but quality PaaS for websites and applications. The main management components at the moment are a web-based office , console tool and iOS application . Starting from the simple, we tried to make the most convenient and practical software complex for deploying applications for small projects.
One of its features is the use of buildpacks (who do not know, see the information here ), which allows you to cover Ruby, Node.js, Clojure, Python, Java, Gradle, Grails, Scala, Play, PHP, Go, and also custom Docker image.
Supported DBMS: CouchDB, Elasticsearch, MariaDB, Memcached, Mongo, MySQL, Nats, Postgres, RabbitMQ, Redis, RethinkDB.
Of course, if your application is a complex microservice system of a million components or if you use a complex custom front-server configuration, balancing, and you also want to have your ownamusement park with blackjack and whores cluster, then it is more profitable and easier for you to rent an individual server space and hire good specialist. Dokkur is primarily focused on small applications that need good service: from fast deployment to operational service.
A demonstration of the work and an example of the simple “Hello, World!” Deployment of the NodeJS application:
Features of the mobile version
You can quickly get the logs and the current status of the application.
Started with iOS , on the line of Android and Windows Phone . Screenshots:
In the near future (after the completion of beta testing) will appear:
And the most interesting: we plan to create a single database of popular applications on a variety of technologies for easy deployment in 1 click. Thus, if you understand what you are doing, customize and deploy the application with your hands; if not, use ready-made configurations and deploy in one click. By the way, you can offer your versions of these applications - their final list has not yet been formed.
Beta testing will start in the first half of May 2016 . In connection with this significant event, we are launching an attraction of unprecedented generosity. By registering on our website before 23:59 MSK 04/30/2016 , you will receive a full-featured account with the ability to create an unlimited number of applications. Unlimited, Karl! The most active participants in testing are entitled to receive a deposit in our system and a number of additional bonuses.
Account activation will begin in early May. The volume of our resources is still limited, so this process will take place in portions.
Despite the sufficient degree of certainty of our infrastructure tools, we are open to strategic proposals and cooperation with providers. If you have thoughts / ideas about this or you have certain computational resources, we will be glad to hear from you, write to business@dokkur.com .
You can dig the ground with your hands, but there is a shovel. You can program in a notebook, but there are IDEs. Deploit using kapistrano and write all the scripts yourself, but there are buildpacks. The application can be restarted from the console, but it is more convenient to press one button on the mobile phone - and this is the service we are striving for.
And since here, on Habré, the best minds of the Russian IT segment have gathered (we believe that the deflection has been counted, right?), It would be wasteful not to ask him for comments on the desired and expected features of this kind of product.
PaaS market in Russia is quite young - let's develop it together!

What is Dokkur?
This is a cheap but quality PaaS for websites and applications. The main management components at the moment are a web-based office , console tool and iOS application .

Main features of the web version
- manage your account;
- CRUD over applications;
- domain management;
- SSL certificate management;
- managing environment variables;
- getting logs of operations.

In the near future (after the completion of beta testing) will appear:
- centralized database management from the web interface (as long as management is exercised from the console tool);
- receiving web server logs in real-time mode from web and mobile clients (now available in the console tool-belt);
- centralized management of Cron tasks;
- apps team collaboration and application sharing;
- integration with GitHub and Bitbucket;
- Fast scaling of web server workflows.
And the most interesting: we plan to create a single database of popular applications on a variety of technologies for easy deployment in 1 click. Thus, if you understand what you are doing, customize and deploy the application with your hands; if not, use ready-made configurations and deploy in one click.
