Many use our service https://controlplane.com - we have an MCP server that makes it trivial to ask for postgres, kafka, cassandra, mongo, cockroachdb, mysql, or many other databases. It is easy and does not limit you in terms of where you can run (any cloud, on prem), and even run multi-region and multi-cloud. I am interested to hear your experience.

we at Control Plane (https://controlplane.com) allow you to run sandboxes anywhere - any cloud (our AWS, GCP, Azure, OCI accounts) or your cloud or bare metal hardware. What sets Control Plane sandboxes apart is:

- They can securely consume ANY service of ANY cloud without needing credentials - They can securely communicate to any VPC or private network resource - When you're ready to go to prod - you simply deploy to the Global Virtual Cloud (GVC) which can run in one region, multi-region, hybrid, any number of regions and clouds and data centers.

our website is https://controlplane.com

I agree with Dario Amodei. Every word makes sense.

We deployed a project called boomurl.com to allow anyone to publish content and BOOM - get a URL with just an email. Since anyone can upload content, people DID. All kinds of phishing ensued - which made Google Site Safety flag the site as a "social engineering site". This short article describes what we did to fix the issue and avoid it in the future.

User provider content is dangerous. Our experience

Looks like Cloudflare copied https://boomurl.com which I published a few weeks ago. It is possible they were working on it independently, but the timing is funny. Anyway. https://boomurl.com does a lot more and gives you a permanent URL for free.

I met Bryan Cantrill the CEO of Oxide many years ago. He's awesome. I am rooting for Oxide to become as big as Dell.

I created a useful (I hope) tool for non-developers who don't want to deal with creating accounts and remembering passwords. They just want to publish some content (text, html md, pdf, jpg, etc.) and BOOM - get a URL. It is called https://boomurl.com

I then create an MCP and created a GPT that knows how to publish created content straight from the browser - so if you want a landing page, or form stood up without leaving ChatGPT (or other LLM) you can do it easily.

It is free forever, with a $2/mo. fee to remove the small footer - to help support the free user base.

I had a ton of fun creating it.

I added support for bring your own custom domain. Try it out and let me know your thoughts. It is not meant as a Vercel replacement, but as a quick way to share vibe coded and other websites with the world for free and without creating an account. It only does quick email validation.

Easiest way to get a web page, or site online. Custom domains will be supported soon.

Control Plane is a virtual cloud platform. It lets you run workloads that scale up and down to save $ on AWS, GCP, Azure, on-prem or any provider. The Control Plane MCP service allows your AI tool to interface with the Control Plane API/CLI to deploy and manage your backend workloads, and persistent databases, queues, etc.
