We’ve launched a new service in the HOSTKEY ecosystem — Managed Apps This is a new approach to application deployment where users no longer need to manage virtual machines or infrastructure layers. Instead of provisioning a VM and configuring everything manually, the client simply selects an application from the catalog and receives a ready-to-use service with a dedicated URL. ⚙️ How it works Managed Apps run as fully managed services on the platform: • no virtual machine setup required • no manual installation or environment configuration • application is deployed automatically from the catalog • access is provided via a simple service URL This significantly reduces the time from “idea” → “running service”. 🚀 Why this matters Traditional deployment workflows require: • VM provisioning • OS configuration • dependency management • service installation and maintenance Managed Apps remove this entire layer of complexity. This makes it especially useful for: ⚡ internal tools and services 🔄 testing environments 💡 fast MVP deployment 🏗 teams that don’t want to manage infrastructure overhead 🧠 Key advantage Applications are deployed faster than in a standard VM-based setup, with infrastructure complexity fully abstracted away. Clients get a working service — not a server to manage. 📚 Documentation & resources We are actively expanding both the service and documentation: • Step-by-step deployment guides - https://cc.hostkey.com/s/managed_apps • Service overview (how Managed Apps work and what’s included) - https://hostkey.com/apps/managed-apps/ 🧭 Final thought Infrastructure is gradually shifting from “server management” to “service consumption”. Managed Apps is one step in that direction — where users focus on the application, not the environment. We’ll keep updating the service and sharing major improvements as they roll out. 👉 Managed Apps: https://hostkey.com/apps/managed-apps/
