Runwai
Runwai is a deployment and managed-hosting project that gets web applications from GitHub or a local upload onto the web without requiring customers to manage servers. It builds and prepares the app, monitors health, rolls out updates gradually, and automatically rolls back bad releases.
At a Glance
- Indie builders and solo developers
- Small development teams
- Founders and people shipping rapidly prototyped or vibe-coded apps

Latest News
Runwai launched on Product Hunt as a free-to-try tool that builds, deploys, monitors, and safely rolls back web apps from GitHub or local uploads.
Runwai published its v1.1 product site describing updates without taking a site offline and a one-minute deployment workflow.
Runwai announced Runwai Cloud as a coming managed-hosting product and opened an early-access waitlist.
Runwai published a detailed three-step deployment workflow covering project connection, preparation, safe rollout, monitoring, and automatic undo.
Products & Services
A browser-based deployment service that connects to GitHub or accepts a local project upload, detects how the app is built and run, prepares a repeatable deployable version, publishes it, monitors it, and can automatically restore the prior working version. It supports common websites and APIs, Node.js, Python, Docker, Go, and other stacks.
A planned managed-hosting service, currently on a waitlist, intended to host deployments without customers buying a VPS or managing AWS, DigitalOcean, bare metal, SSH, firewalls, and related operations.
Market Position
Runwai positions itself as a simpler, developer-friendly alternative to assembling a deployment stack on AWS or DigitalOcean, buying a VPS, or manually configuring servers. Its differentiators are GitHub/local-folder onboarding without hand-written setup configuration, automatic build detection, a roughly one-minute publish workflow, health-aware gradual rollout, and automatic rollback; the likely comparison set includes conventional cloud/VPS hosting and developer deployment platforms such as Vercel, Netlify, Render, Railway, and Fly.io.

Founding Story
Runwai was started around the founder's observation that builders can create an app quickly but deployment and hosting become the difficult last mile. Its initial vision is to make publishing feel like pressing a button: connect GitHub or upload a folder, let Runwai detect and prepare the stack, and get a working site online without wrestling with AWS, DigitalOcean, VPS setup, or server operations.
Business Model
