Use cases

WordPress, migration, agency work, native apps plus backend.

Instead of WordPress WordPress ships websites. MainPath ships software projects. Including servers, apps and releases. Migrate from WordPress Rebuild the site, move logic into a backend, switch the domain only after review. Agency client projects One project per client: repo, pipeline, servers, access. No multisite, no copy-paste. Native apps plus backend App, API and stores in one project. Not a website here and Fastlane somewhere else.

Platform comparisons

Next to the tool you already use.

vs Vercel alternative Preview URLs for Next.js are excellent. A long-running API on a box you can SSH into is not in the product. vs Heroku alternative git push stayed. The bill is still dynos, not a machine you can log into. vs Netlify alternative Redirects, forms, a CDN. The moment something has to stay up overnight, Netlify is the wrong tool. vs Railway alternative Containers start quickly. The bill grows with CPU and RAM, not with a fixed box. vs Coolify alternative Coolify is free and good. You still become the person who runs the instance. vs Render alternative Web service, cron, Postgres. SSH onto the box or a store release is not in the product. vs GitHub Codespaces alternative The cloud IDE starts fast. Then you commit, and shipping is another tool again. vs Deploy to Hetzner A CX11 is there in three minutes. Docker, proxy, SSL and the pipeline take the rest of the afternoon.

Audiences

Vibecoding starts on the homepage. Agencies, companies, and pupils and students have their own pages.

For agencies Several client projects at once, the same setup every time. And a clean handover at the end. For pupils and students Team plan free for one year with a school or university email. For startups Reach your first release quickly, without anyone on the team turning into the DevOps person. For freelancers Work solo without rebuilding infrastructure for every new engagement. For companies An in-house IT team, real compliance requirements and a setup that does not depend on individuals. For mobile teams App, backend and web interface in one setup, all the way to the app stores.

Solutions

Stores, CI/CD, workspaces, GDPR.

Self hosted PaaS Data on your box. Someone else patches the control plane. GDPR compliant hosting Procurement asks for a DPA and a region. An “EU region” tick in a US product rarely survives that spreadsheet. App store deployment automation Crop screenshots, translate the changelog, click three portals. Every update, again. Cloud development environment New people lose day one to Docker and SDK versions. After that every machine is slightly wrong. White label apps Customer app in blue, internal in green. And suddenly three repos drifting apart. CI/CD automation YAML from the last job, tweak the paths, hope the runner is up. Next client, start over. AI coding agent infrastructure The agent writes diffs. Where the merge goes and who tests it is your problem. Or ours. Mobile CI/CD Bitrise builds the app. Web and API live in another tab, with another history.

Technologies

Next.js, Laravel, NestJS, Flutter, FastAPI, macOS builds.

Next.js hosting Template, pipeline, server, domain and error tracking for Next.js in one setup. Laravel hosting A PHP backend with database, migrations, queues and Docker-based deployment. NestJS deployment A TypeScript backend with database, Docker deployment and one API for web and mobile. Flutter CI/CD Builds for iOS and Android, signing, store metadata and releases from one pipeline. FastAPI deployment A Python backend with database, Docker deployment and room for data services and AI integrations. macOS build machines Cloud macOS machines instead of a Mac mini under a desk, wired into the pipeline.
