Re: Show HN: Lemon – Alternative UI for AWS
#2Hi all, Igor & Mo here from Lemon. We believe that developers deserve better than what AWS UI is today. It's incomprehensible, like an airplane cockpit. Whereas Lemon is built to feel more like your phone - no manual needed.
Lemon is easy to use, like Vercel or Heroku. You can deploy containers, webapps, functions, databases, etc. Networking and permissions are automatically configured, CI / CD just works, instrumentation connected. But it's not a PaaS - it manages your AWS account, and you retain full control.
Lemon has first-class support of Terraform, so you can customise every bit. It supports multiple environments and can export Terraform to a dedicated "infrastructure repository" if you connect one. And it will pick up your custom TF from that repo too, so it's a two-way sync.
By default Lemon uses ECS Fargate to deploy your containers. Kubernetes is supported too, as well as Lambda. Static webapps go to S3 and served via CloudFront. Every environment gets independent configuration so you can have high-load production and many short-lived cost-efficient dev environments, even one per branch if you'd like.
We've also just launched on ProductHunt: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/lemon-4

#3This really needs an “about us” page. Trust (particularly with access to something as sensitive as an AWS account) is important here.

Thanks!! Super helpful, we haven't considered this

#5Can this be launched internally, such that I am not leaking internal details out to a 3rd party?
I can't imagine adopting this in the companies I've worked for, without that avenue.

#6Great. More abstraction.

#7We are tackling this same issue, but in a different way. A unified UI for AWS and LocalStack. https://getcommandeer.com

Very cool! We're also considering building a mac app, that elegantly solves all the access control / compliance concerns
The downside is that in client-only arrangement state is no longer centrally managed; I wonder how do you solve that? Or do you have a "hybrid" model with some parts on the client and others on the server?

We are working on a self-hosted version, as well as a standalone mac app
Both on the roadmap for Q4
