easytobuild

easytobuild is an online platform and set of tools designed to simplify the process of creating and deploying web applications. The service was launched in 2015 by a small team of software engineers who observed that many developers and entrepreneurs struggled with repetitive setup tasks such as server configuration, database provisioning, and deployment pipelines. By offering a preconfigured stack and a simple command-line interface, easytobuild allows users to spin up fully operational projects with a single command.

The core product is a web-based wizard that guides users through selecting a programming language, framework, and database backend. Supported stacks include popular combinations such as Node.js with Express, Ruby on Rails, and Python with Django. Once a stack is selected, the platform generates a ready-to‑run repository on GitHub, complete with continuous integration settings and Docker containers for local development. Built‑in templates cover common application patterns like authentication, RESTful APIs, and content management systems, which can be customized by editing YAML configuration files.

Deployment is handled automatically via integration with cloud providers such as Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure. The platform abstracts away infrastructure details by creating virtual machines, load balancers, and SSL certificates on demand. Users can manage scaling rules and monitor performance through a web dashboard that pulls metrics from the underlying cloud services. For seasoned developers, the platform also offers an API and a plugin system, enabling advanced customizations and automated infrastructure as code pipelines.

easytobuild has been adopted by startups and non‑profits to reduce time‑to‑market for prototype products. While the service offers a free tier for personal projects and an enterprise plan with dedicated support, it has been reviewed positively for its transparency, ease of use, and robust community documentation.
