Most platforms just wrap Kubernetes or slap on another abstraction layer. Heim looks like it’s actually trying to remove layers instead of adding them.
A few quick questions though: – Can you run long-lived or stateful services (e.g. websockets, streams)? – How do you handle secrets or database connections? – Any way to run Heim locally for testing?
Definitely curious to try it out.
Currently we have a way to pass in secrets and environment variables when you deploy an application and we are working on adding in a full secret store which will load the secrets at the startup of the application and pass them in as env variables to the application. But you can also use existing secret vault services that you are already using.
We actually support running the full experience including the same portal as you get in cloud version of Heim locally all of which is contained in the installer of just ~70 MB.
