Hey HN, I wanted to share something I’ve been working on. My startup previously built B2B SaaS, and large enterprises sometimes wanted to self-host it for data residency reasons - but this was a nightmare to build and support. I chatted to other builders/founders and it seems this pain is pretty common. But people tolerate it because the biggest customers often require self-hosting.

So we’ve built and open-sourced Shepherd to make it easier to manage these self-hosted deployments. It’s MIT licensed, and provides:

1 - Simplified deployment with a UI to create and manage Helm charts, for easy deployment to customer Kubernetes clusters

2 - Automated deployment upgrades to improve version consistency and provide rollbacks

3 - Deployment health monitoring

Try it and please share any feedback:
