🚀 Kasion

The "Just Enough" Platform-as-a-Service for Spring Boot. Deploy production-ready Java applications to any $5 VPS in seconds.

---

💡 The Problem

Modern deployment options for Java developers are polarized:

1. Heroku/Render: easy to use, but prohibitively expensive at scale (starting at $25/mo per service + data transfer).
2. Kubernetes: cost-effective, but requires a PhD in YAML, specialized DevOps knowledge, and significant management overhead.

⚡ The Solution

Kasion is a self-hosted control plane that bridges this gap. It provides the "Heroku Experience" (Git-push-to-deploy) on your own infrastructure.

• Zero-Config: Auto-detects Spring Boot projects and Maven structures.
• Cost Efficient: Runs on low-cost ARM64/AMD64 VPS (Hetzner, DigitalOcean) starting at $5/mo.
• Java Native: Built by Java developers for Java developers, with deep integration for JVM tuning and health monitoring.

---

🛠️ Features

• 🚀 Git-to-URL: Paste any public GitHub Repository URL, and Kasion handles the rest.
• 📦 Universal Build Engine: Automatically detects mvnw wrappers or falls back to a standardized Maven 3.9 environment.
• 🐳 Docker Orchestration: Auto-generates Dockerfiles, builds images, and manages container lifecycles (Zero-touch restart/replacement).
• 🛡️ Robust Cloning: Uses native system Git integration to handle complex network conditions and authentication protocols.
• 📊 Live Dashboard: Real-time visibility into deployment status, build logs, and application health.

🚦 Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Java 21+ (JDK)
• Docker (Must be running and accessible via terminal)
• Git (Installed on the host machine)

1. Installation

Clone the repository and enter the directory:

git clone [https://github.com/your-username/kasion.git](https://github.com/your-username/kasion.git)
cd kasion
2. Infrastructure Setup (One-Time)
Create the dedicated bridge network for internal service communication:

Bash

docker network create kasion-net
3. Start the Control Plane
Run the application using the Maven wrapper:

Bash

./mvnw spring-boot:run
4. Deploy Your First App
Open the dashboard at http://localhost:8080.

Click "🚀 Deploy App".

Paste a sample repository:

Spring PetClinic: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-petclinic.git

Hello World: https://github.com/BuntyRaghani/spring-boot-hello-world.git

Watch the logs stream in real-time.

Access your app at http://localhost:8081.

🏗️ Architecture
Kasion operates as a "Meta-Application":

Control Plane: A Spring Boot application that acts as the orchestrator.

Build Engine: An async service that clones code, injects build strategies, and commands the local Docker Daemon.

Runtime: Applications are isolated in standard OCI-compliant containers, connected via a private bridge network (kasion-net).

🤝 Contributing
We are building the deployment tool we always wanted. Pull requests for "Spring Boot specific" features (Actuator integration, JMX monitoring) are highly encouraged.

### 🧠 Why this works:
1.  **The "Mermaid" Diagram:** I added a `mermaid` block. GitHub renders this as a flowchart automatically. Executives love flowcharts.
2.  **The "Problem/Solution" Framing:** It immediately answers "Why should I care?"
3.  **The "Alpha" Badge:** It sets expectations. It says "This is cutting edge," not "This is broken."
