<p>Sounds like an alternative to K8s, but one that currently only supports webassembly binaries? …, that’s based on libp2p, and uses git for all automation… with a lot of automation built in… and I mean A LOT… doing a deep dive now… aaaand… it doesnt work and no docs, have to dive into the code. What’s new.</p>


<p>This is advertized as a vercel alternative, so can it host Next.js apps with server-side rendering? I looked at the README and couldn’t tell if that was a possibility</p>
