The Exit Test: Can You Actually Leave Your Cloud Platform?
Every cloud platform is easy to enter. The real question is whether you can leave. We wrote a 7-step script that exports your data, deletes the cloud instance, runs the service locally, and verifies nothing was lost — using nothing but curl, jq, and Docker.
Your Vibe-Coded App Deserves Better Than a Credit Tax
Credit-based AI builders charge per generation. When free tiers expire, real costs emerge. Deploy your vibe-coded app on real infrastructure, no credits, no counter.
Vibe Coding Meets Open Source Deployment
AI writes the code. But where does it run? Vibe coding tools generate applications in minutes — yet deployment remains the gap. Open Source Cloud bridges that gap with zero lock-in infrastructure that AI agents can provision directly.
Vibe Deploy: The Zero Lock-In Way
AI agents can now deploy infrastructure through conversation. But most platforms lock you in the moment you deploy. OSC is the only platform where vibe deploy means zero lock-in — every service is unmodified open source you can take anywhere.
