Canine is an open-source, self-hosted PaaS that turns any Kubernetes cluster into a Heroku-like deployment platform. It provides git-push deployments, automatic Docker image builds, a web UI, CLI, and MCP server for managing apps without writing Kubernetes YAML.

Use cases

• deploy apps to kubernetes without writing yaml
• self-hosted heroku alternative on my own cluster
• git push to deploy from github or gitlab
• manage web services workers and cron jobs on kubernetes
• automatic ssl and custom domains for kubernetes apps
• reduce hosting costs by deploying to cheap providers
• deploy and manage apps through an ai client via mcp

When to choose

• you want a Heroku-like developer experience on your own Kubernetes infrastructure
• you need data sovereignty and self-hosting with no per-seat pricing
• your team wants git-driven continuous deployment with built-in image builds
• you want to manage services, secrets, volumes, and domains through a web UI or CLI

When to avoid

• you don't run Kubernetes and don't want to operate a cluster
• you need a fully managed PaaS with zero infrastructure responsibility
• you deploy only serverless functions rather than containerized services
