From Development to Deployment: A Fully Open-Source Pipeline

Proposal status is Rejected
Session Description

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.

Hi, I'm Santhosh Kumar, a 21-year-old software developer who found my way into coding through my love for football. What started as a curiosity turned into a passion, and now I see coding as an art form—bringing ideas to life through technology.


I specialize in full-stack development with React, Node.js, and Python, and I’m deeply invested in building and deploying applications using fully open-source tools. I love exploring self-hosting, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and cloud deployment (Coolify, AWS, GCP) while finding FOSS alternatives to expensive, proprietary solutions.


When I’m not coding, I’m either learning new football tricks or experimenting with better ways to streamline development workflows. My goal is to help developers and businesses embrace open-source technology to build scalable, cost-effective applications.
