From built to live is where teams stall
You shipped in Lovable/v0/Cursor. Now you need a domain, SSL, env vars, and a server that doesn't 502 at 3am.
The vibe coding trap
Replit, Lovable, v0, Bolt, Cursor wrote your app. It works in their sandbox — then you export and hit the wall.
- Docker, Nginx, SSL, env vars, CI/CD?
- Freelancer: $50–500 per deploy, still manual
- YouTube + ChatGPT: generic, not your infra
HW — the AI that actually ships
95 tools • 5-step loop • approval gates • audit log
Not advice. Action — against your real servers with your real logs.
- GitHub URL → live in ~30s
- “add my domain” → DNS + SSL
- “why 502?” → log → fix → restart
- “scale to 8GB” → zero downtime

Built for how you actually work
Three prompts. Three shipped outcomes. No tutorial.
Ship a new feature
Push to GitHub → HW builds, deploys, swaps with zero downtime. One-click rollback.

HW reads logs, finds OOM, bumps RAM, restarts — while you sleep.

Ask to scale — HW resizes CPU/RAM, health-checks, no dropped connections.

If you build but don't want a second job running it — this is you.
Indie Hackers & Solo Founders
Ship fast without a DevOps hire. Deploy, monitor, and fix issues yourself, in minutes not weekends.
Agencies
Manage dozens of client sites without scaling your ops headcount or hiring a dedicated infra person.
Small Startups
Get production-grade infrastructure management before you can afford a platform team.
Non-DevOps Technical Founders
You can code. You shouldn't have to learn Nginx, Docker, and cert renewal to ship it.

Chat & advice: 2 credits (~$0.10) minimum. Deploys, fixes, scales: 10 credits (~$0.50) minimum. Heavier multi-step work scales with complexity.
How it works
Three steps. No docs dive.
Tell HW
“Deploy my React app from GitHub” or “why 502?” — plain English, no form.
HW executes
Connects to your infra, runs tools, shows the log. One click to approve if destructive.
You’re live
Site deployed, DNS + SSL done. HW monitors 24/7 and pings you if it breaks.
Simple, transparent pricing
Start free with 10 credits. Pay per workflow or subscribe for predictable monthly pricing. No lock-in.

You’re always in control
Real infra access only works if it can’t surprise you.
Approval gates on destructive actions
Deleting a resource, restarting production, changing DNS — HW always asks first and waits for your explicit yes.
Full audit log
Every action is timestamped: what changed, which tool ran, and who approved it. Visible anytime from your dashboard.
Scoped to your own infrastructure
HW only touches servers, domains, and deployments you've explicitly connected — never anyone else's.
Non-destructive actions run instantly
Reading logs, checking status, analyzing errors — nothing to approve, nothing at risk, so debugging stays fast.
Questions, answered
Everything you’re wondering before you connect your infra.
HW always asks for explicit approval before any destructive or irreversible action — deleting a resource, restarting a production container, changing DNS. Non-destructive actions (reading logs, checking status, analyzing errors) run instantly since there's nothing to approve. Every action is logged with a timestamp in your Action Log, so you can always see exactly what changed and when. You can revoke or rollback from the dashboard.
Most DevOps AIs are 10–30 tools in a sandbox with generic advice and platform lock-in. HW is 95 real tools with direct access to your own servers, domains, and containers — it reads your actual logs, restarts your actual service, and provisions your actual SSL. No subdomain-first flow, no export-to-leave. If HW can't do it via API, it tells you — it doesn't hallucinate.
HW only touches infrastructure you explicitly connect — your own servers, domains, and deployments, never anyone else's. It uses the same scoped APIs a human admin would (not raw shell on arbitrary hosts). Combined with approval-before-destructive-action + full audit log, you're never one ambiguous prompt away from an outage. Scope is per-user, per-resource — enforced server-side.
A general chatbot can explain what a 502 means. It cannot read your actual logs, restart your actual container, or provision an actual SSL certificate — it has no access to your infra. HW has 95 real tools across deployment, databases, domains, servers, diagnostics, and billing — so it doesn't tell you what to do, it does it and shows the tool call.
72+ frameworks with zero-config detection: Next.js, React, Vue, Nuxt, SvelteKit, Laravel, Django, Flask, Express, Rails, Go, Docker, Astro, Remix, NestJS, FastAPI. If it builds with a standard build command, HW detects it and deploys without you writing a Dockerfile. Custom Dockerfiles are fully supported too.
Pay per workflow, not per seat. Chat/advice is 2 credits (~$0.10) minimum. Deploys, fixes, scales are 10 credits (~$0.50) minimum, more for complex multi-step work. You get 10 free credits on signup — no credit card required — and can buy packs or subscribe monthly for predictable pricing. No surprise bills.
HW tails the build log, parses the error (OOM, missing env var, port mismatch), and suggests the fix — often bumping RAM, adding the env var, or correcting the port. One click to apply and redeploy. Every deploy keeps the previous version for one-click rollback with zero downtime swap.
You do. Your domain stays yours (DNS is standard A/CNAME, not proprietary), SSL is Let's Encrypt auto-renewed, and your app runs in a standard container. Export env config + Docker setup and redeploy anywhere that runs containers — no hostwares-specific format.
For indie hackers, small startups, and agencies on standard web apps: yes — HW covers the day-to-day 80% a junior-to-mid DevOps hire would. For large-scale, highly custom, or compliance-heavy infra, teams use HW alongside a senior engineer to kill the repetitive work and free them for the hard 20%.
