Show HN:Secure deployment platform for AI-generated code and internal tools

We got tired of the authentication nightmare that comes with deploying AI-generated apps. Every time we'd generate a cool mini app with Claude/GPT, deploying it securely meant choosing between "completely open" or "spend days implementing OAuth." The problem: No easy way exists to deploy AI-generated apps privately with proper authentication. Current solutions are complex to implement and vulnerable to tech debt, insecure code, and secret leakage. What we built: A deployment platform designed for the AI coding workflow. Your AI-generated app doesn't need to know about auth, SSL, or security - the platform handles it automatically.

OAuth integration (GitHub, no rolling your own crypto) Automatic SSL (Let's Encrypt + Traefik) JWT-based SSO with proper security headers Centralized secret management Container hardening (distroless images, read-only filesystems)

The AI coding workflow now:

Generate your app with LLM (focus on the actual logic) Push to git App is live with proper authentication and SSL

Tech stack:

Go/Fiber backend with security middleware PostgreSQL + Redis for sessions Preact frontend (3kb) Traefik for reverse proxy + SSL

We can now deploy dozens of AI-generated tools without thinking about the infrastructure layer. LLM mini apps go from generation to secure deployment in minutes instead of days. What's next:

LDAP/SAML integration (enterprise teams are asking for this) LLM-powered deployment agent (auto-generate Dockerfile/config from codebase) Enterprise SSO and compliance features Better monitoring and CI/CD integration

The codebase is early but functional. We've been using it to deploy ~15 AI-generated internal apps without security headaches. Perfect for teams that want to rapidly deploy AI-generated mini apps without compromising on security. Enterprise-ready architecture with startup simplicity. Would love feedback on the approach - is this solving a real problem in the AI coding workflow?
