Ubicloud
Open-source alternative to AWS providing IaaS on bare-metal providers like Hetzner plus GitHub Actions runners.
Our Verdict
Promising open-source IaaS, great for CI cost savings but not a full AWS replacement yet.
Pros
- Open source: auditable and self-hostable
- Cheaper GitHub Actions runners vs GitHub-hosted
- Runs on commodity bare metal like Hetzner
- Transparent pricing and architecture
Cons
- Young project; fewer services than AWS
- No managed databases or higher-level PaaS yet
- Smaller community and limited integrations
- Self-hosting still requires real ops skill
Best for: Teams cutting GitHub Actions bills or wanting open-source IaaS on Hetzner
Not for: Enterprises needing the full breadth of AWS managed services
