Stackform
What's New in v2.5: AI Architect, AWS Cost Estimator & 1-Click VPS Deployer

Drag a stack together.
Ship it with confidence.

Stackform turns a visual drag-and-drop builder or AI prompt into production multi-stage Dockerfiles, Compose, Kubernetes, Helm 3 charts, and 1-click VPS deployment scripts — with real-time AWS cost estimates.

What It Is

A self-hosted, full-stack visual workspace: drop services onto a canvas or prompt the AI, configure ports, volumes, and env vars in a side panel, and get back multi-stage Dockerfiles, Compose, Helm 3 charts, and 1-click deployment scripts — generated server-side from one source of truth.

Why It Exists

Compose syntax and Kubernetes manifests are easy to get subtly wrong: duplicate ports, placeholder passwords left in, unpinned container tags, or missing memory limits. Stackform validates as you build and catches the same mistakes a senior SRE would flag in review — before you deploy.

Major Product Release

What's New in Stackform v2.5

Four powerful new engines designed to take you from prompt to production in minutes.

AI Stack Architect

/chat

Describe your application in plain English. Powered by **Google Gemini 3.6 Flash**, **DeepSeek Chat**, and **Claude 3.5 Sonnet**, Stackform automatically assembles microservices, configures dependencies, calculates AWS costs, and prepares manifests in one step.

AWS Architecture Cost Estimator

/test

Know your monthly AWS bill *before* provisioning servers. Inspects your architecture canvas and calculates real-time monthly & annual costs across 40+ AWS services (EC2, RDS, ALB, S3, EKS, Lambda, NAT Gateway) with tailored cost-reduction tips.

Calculate AWS Cost

Reverse Compose Importer

/converter

Import any existing 250+ line docker-compose.yml. Stackform's Semantic IR engine extracts containers, ports, environment variables, named volumes, and dependencies with **98% semantic fidelity** onto the visual canvas.

Import Existing Compose

1-Click VPS Auto-Deployer

/auto-deploy

Copy a single HMAC-signed cURL command and paste it into any fresh Linux VPS terminal. Automates Docker Engine setup, UFW firewall rules, .env hardening (`chmod 600`), build context creation, and Systemd auto-reboot services.

Generate Deploy Script
End-to-End Workflow

From Prompt to Production

How Stackform streamlines your entire DevOps pipeline in 4 simple steps.

01

Prompt or Compose

Describe your app using the AI Architect, import a `docker-compose.yml`, or pick a ready template.

02

Estimate & Audit

Calculate real-time monthly AWS costs and run static security audits to fix unpinned tags and leaked secrets.

03

Export Any Target

Download multi-stage Dockerfiles, Compose, Kubernetes, Helm 3 charts, Terraform, or Mermaid diagrams.

04

1-Click VPS Deploy

Run the cryptographically signed cURL command on any fresh VPS to auto-install Docker, firewall, and services.
