“I want to deploy my Django projects without spending hours on server setup—I just want to push my code and go live!”
I built this because existing solutions didn’t quite fit:
Heroku’s free tier is gone, and paid plans get pricey fast. Render and Railway are great, but the setup still feels like a chore for a quick MVP. DigitalOcean gives control, but you need DevOps skills I don’t always have time for. Most tools are either too complex or lack the simplicity I crave for fast deployments. I sensed there’s a demand for a dead-simple way to deploy Django apps—something that works in minutes, not hours, and lets me focus on coding. So, I started Astra.
Right now, it’s Day 1 of my #buildinpublic journey. Astra deploys Django projects with 1 click on DigitalOcean, handling the infrastructure for you. It’s rough around the edges—only supports Django for now (FastAPI and Flask are on the roadmap)—but it’s a start. I’d love to know if you find this useful.
