A new PaaS Community Version is here, and it changes how teams deploy, scale, and manage applications

A new PaaS Community Version gives you the same core deployment and orchestration engine as a paid release, often with the same command-line tools, APIs, and container runtime. You can configure build pipelines, integrate CI/CD, and manage services directly from source to cluster. Because it is open and community-driven, you can inspect the code, adapt it to your stack, and extend it with plugins.

The main draw is control. You choose the hosting environment—self-hosted, on-prem, or cloud. Scaling is built in, so you can spin up instances in seconds. Networking, routing, and SSL are managed by the platform without third-party lock-in. Multi-language support means you can deploy microservices in Go, Python, Node.js, or any other runtime supported by the builder.

Security in a modern PaaS Community Version integrates secrets management, role-based access control (RBAC), and audit logging. These features are identical to commercial offerings, but you maintain ownership and visibility over every layer. Continuous updates from the community and patch releases make it possible to keep the platform hardened without waiting for a vendor cycle.

For teams moving fast, the ability to run the PaaS Community Version locally for development, then push to staging or production, turns deployment into a one-command action. Automated rollback, blue/green deployments, and zero-downtime restarts keep services live while you iterate.
