About

Hatchbox is a managed deployment platform specifically for Ruby on Rails applications. It provisions servers on your cloud provider (Hetzner, DigitalOcean, AWS, etc.), deploys Rails apps with zero-downtime, manages SSL certificates, databases, background jobs (Sidekiq), and cron tasks. Hatchbox automates the entire Rails DevOps stack that typically requires a dedicated sysadmin. Created by GoRails founder Chris Oliver for the Rails community.

Origin Story

By Chris Oliver

The Problem

Deploying Rails apps requires configuring Nginx, Puma, Sidekiq, SSL — a full DevOps stack.

Building It

Launched 2020, growing in the Ruby on Rails community.

What It Means

Rails deployment should be a solved problem, not a recurring headache.

The Dream

Every Rails developer deploys with confidence, no DevOps needed.
