Forest
Developer-focused cloud hosting platform, bootstrapped to 1,000+ users and 10,000+ deployments, later acquired.

Co-built from concept to production with a team of three engineers, bootstrapped, no outside funding.

  • Zero-config, Git-based deployment: git push to ship, no server management required
  • Git integrations for GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket
  • Automated build pipelines, cloned staging/production environments, and free SSL
  • Full-stack and infrastructure ownership across React, Node.js, CI/CD, and LXC/LXD containers
  • Backups, rollback systems, and environment management built for reliability at scale

Scaled to 1,000+ users and 10,000+ deployments before the product was acquired.
