Building modern applications often involves proprietary tools and platforms, but what if you could go from development to deployment using only free and open-source software (FOSS)? In this talk, we will explore a complete end-to-end development and deployment pipeline built entirely on FOSS technologies.
We will cover:
✅ Development Stack:
Frontend: React.js (or other FOSS frameworks)
Backend: Node.js, Python, Express.js, FastAPI, etc.
Database: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB
✅ Version Control & CI/CD:
Git, GitHub Actions/Gitea, Jenkins
✅ Containerization & Orchestration:
Docker & Docker Compose
Kubernetes (K3s)
✅ Deployment on Open-Source-Friendly Cloud Platforms:
Self-hosting with Coolify
Deploying on AWS/GCP with open-source tools
Free alternatives: Hetzner, Linode, Railway, etc.
✅ Security & Monitoring:
Nginx, Caddy
OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Loki
By the end of this talk, attendees will have a clear roadmap to build, containerize, and deploy applications without relying on proprietary software. This session is ideal for developers, startups, and enthusiasts looking to embrace the power of FOSS while maintaining full control over their software infrastructure.
