Alien

Alien is a platform for deploying and operating applications inside customer environments while maintaining centralized control over updates, monitoring, and lifecycle management. It solves the managed self-hosting problem where customers run software in their own AWS, GCP, or Azure accounts but lack operational expertise, leaving vendors responsible for systems they cannot access or debug.

Developers build locally without cloud credentials, then push releases that automatically roll out across all customer deployments. The platform provides unified visibility across environments, automatic updates and rollbacks, and infrastructure abstraction that maps a single API to each cloud provider's native services. Customers grant least-privilege access to their cloud accounts, and Alien handles deployment, monitoring, and infrastructure management entirely.
