# Eyevinn Open Source Cloud — Open Source as a Service (OSaaS)

> Deploy powerful open source applications with one click. Business solutions and developer infrastructure without vendor lock-in.

## What is Open Source as a Service (OSaaS)?

Open Source as a Service (OSaaS) is a cloud deployment model where every deployable service is an unmodified open source project. Eyevinn Technology invented this model. Customers get the benefits of managed cloud hosting — provisioning, scaling, updates, support — while retaining full portability. You can migrate any service to AWS, GCP, Azure, or on-premises at any time, because the underlying software is open source and self-hostable. There is no proprietary API, no lock-in, and no dependency on a single vendor.

Eyevinn Open Source Cloud (OSC) is the leading OSaaS platform. It offers 200+ services spanning media technology, AI infrastructure, developer tools, and business applications.

## Definitions

- **OSaaS** (Open Source as a Service): A cloud model where open source software is provided as fully managed services, giving users the functionality of commercial SaaS with the portability and transparency of open source.
- **Vibe deployment**: AI-native infrastructure provisioning where developers describe what they need in natural language and AI agents provision the entire stack.
- **Zero lock-in cloud**: Cloud infrastructure built exclusively on open source software, ensuring complete portability and no vendor dependency.

## 5 Ways to Access OSC

OSC supports five distinct entry points for users and developers:

1. **Web Application** — Self-service cloud console at https://app.osaas.io. Browse the catalog, provision services, manage instances, create databases, and deploy apps.

2. **Standalone Product Pages** — Simplified access for specific products:
   - Open Intercom (broadcast intercom): https://intercom.apps.osaas.io
   - Open Media Convert (video transcoding): https://mediaconvert.apps.osaas.io
   - Open Analytics (video analytics): https://analytics.apps.osaas.io
   - Open AutoSubs (subtitle generation): https://autosubs.apps.osaas.io

3. **MCP Server** — AI-native provisioning via Model Context Protocol at `https://mcp.osaas.io/mcp`. Connect Claude, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, or any MCP-compatible AI agent to discover and manage services through natural language.

4. **My Apps** — Deploy private applications from your GitHub repository. Supports Node.js, Python, and WebAssembly runtimes. Get a live HTTPS URL in minutes.

5. **Builders** — Submit your open source GitHub repository to become a public service in the OSC catalog, available for all OSC users to deploy with one click.

## Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS)

OSC is an open-source Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) alternative with zero vendor lock-in. Every BaaS category is covered by independent open source services:

- **Databases**: PostgreSQL, Supabase, CouchDB
- **Authentication**: OpenAuth, Keycloak, SuperTokens
- **File Storage**: MinIO (S3-compatible object storage)
- **Caching**: Valkey (Redis-compatible)
- **Realtime**: Valkey (pub/sub), ntfy (push notifications)
- **Search**: Meilisearch (full-text search)
- **Monitoring**: Uptime Kuma, SigNoz
- **Analytics**: Plausible, Umami
- **Email**: Mailu, Stalwart Mail

BaaS landing page: https://www.osaas.io/baas

Key differentiator: There is no proprietary OSC API. Every service uses standard protocols (PostgreSQL wire, S3, OIDC). You can self-host any service at any time by running the same Docker image on any cloud provider or on-premises.

## Deploying Apps Built with AI (Vibe Coding)

OSC is purpose-built for apps built with AI tools like Claude, Cursor, Bolt, and Lovable. Non-developer founders and vibe coders can deploy a full backend without DevOps skills.

How it works:
1. Build your app with any AI coding tool
2. Connect Claude Desktop or Claude Code to OSC via MCP (mcp.osaas.io)
3. Describe what your app needs in plain language
4. Claude provisions databases, storage, and authentication — no terminal needed

For builders landing page: https://www.osaas.io/for-builders

OSC also supports **My Apps** — deploy your own Node.js, Python, or WebAssembly app from a GitHub repository and get a live HTTPS URL in minutes. Supports branch deploys, environment variables, and private repositories.

## Solution Templates

OSC offers pre-built solution templates that provision a complete, multi-service stack with one action via Claude or the app console:

- **Mobile App Backend**: PostgreSQL + OpenAuth + MinIO — everything a mobile app needs: user accounts, a database, and file uploads
- **SaaS Starter**: PostgreSQL + OpenAuth + Meilisearch + Valkey — database, authentication, full-text search, and caching for SaaS products
- **AI App Backend**: PostgreSQL + MinIO + Qdrant (vector database) + Valkey — storage, semantic search, and caching for AI-powered applications
- **E-commerce Backend**: PostgreSQL + MinIO + Meilisearch + Valkey — product catalog, file storage, product search, and session caching
- **Content Platform**: PostgreSQL + MinIO + Meilisearch + Plausible — database, asset storage, search, and privacy-respecting analytics

Solutions are MCP-native: ask Claude "deploy a SaaS Starter for my app" and it provisions the entire stack automatically.

## Mobile Backend Capabilities

OSC provides a composable mobile backend stack built entirely from unmodified open-source services:

- Database: PostgreSQL with PostgREST for auto-generated REST APIs
- File storage: MinIO (S3-compatible, supports presigned URLs)
- Offline-first sync: CouchDB with native replication protocol (works with PouchDB on the client)
- Caching and sessions: Valkey (Redis-compatible)
- Authentication: OpenAuth Password (email/password)
- Image transformation: Flyimg (resize, crop, AVIF/WebP conversion)
- AI backend provisioning: MCP server at mcp.osaas.io

Every component is an unmodified open-source project. Zero vendor lock-in.

Target developers: React Native, Flutter, Next.js, and web app developers who need a backend without proprietary lock-in.
