Show HN: Forte – Cloud infra to get startups to production faster
forteplatforms.comForte is an opinionated cloud platform that gets developers to production faster. Developers bring their code and Forte containerizes it with autoscaling and no cold starts, securely configures auth, and provides logging insights and monitoring out of the box.
I used to help lead service development at AWS, and even before AI coding was widespread, our biggest bottleneck was rarely feature development. We would spend months on security prep, observability tooling, on-call optimization, and other overhead before launching new features. When I worked in startups, every team hit a surprisingly similar set of problems and spent weeks rebuilding auth, logging, monitoring, and payments.
Platforms like Heroku, Render, and Railway are helpful for getting a container running but don't provide the rest of the tooling the teams need to go to production -- auth, secure defaults, and request-level logging. We built Forte to solve that entire stack of problems.
You can check out Forte at https://forteplatforms.com (it's free to sign up and doesn't require a payment method). We'd love to hear your questions and feedback!
Just gave this a try. I was expecting this to be overhyped but I was honestly surprised at just how easy it was. I was able to spin up a Spring Boot backend and NextJS frontend without doing any configuration on my end and somehow it actually worked, containerized and deployed it all for me. Great job on this, I’ll probably use it next time I launch something
Thanks for the feedback! We put a lot of work into handling edge cases from different frameworks and testing various tech stacks including Spring and NextJS (SSR hosting and containerization is a bit tricky to get right) -- glad to hear that Forte worked as intended for you.
