Ship your next SaaS in minutes.
Watch them all from one HQ.
Alfredo is the home for your projects. Your next one is live in minutes, with auth, email, database and analytics already configured and running. Every project you add is watched from one place.
Alfredo is free and MIT-licensed, and runs on your own server. The first 100 get in before public launch.
COUNTLESS TABS ONE HQ
Every new project makes you set up the same boilerplate again.
You have an idea. Then the setup starts.
- Email for waitlist confirmations
- Auth for sign-ups
- A database for Auth
- Analytics for visitor stats
- Payments to get paid
You have built all of this before, and you will build it again. Or you rent it: five managed services, five bills, none of it yours.
- AUTHAGAIN
- EMAILAGAIN
- DATABASEAGAIN
- ANALYTICSAGAIN
- PAYMENTSAGAIN
Alfredo wires all of it once, on your own server. Your next project is live in minutes.
Inside the headquarters.
Every project you ship adds another set of dashboards to check. These are the views you get on day one instead, across every project you run.
BUT CAN'T WHAT I ALREADY USE DO THIS?
You probably already use something that does a piece of this.
Fair question. Most of these are tools we like and use ourselves. Here is the honest version: what you keep, what Alfredo adds, and when you should stay exactly where you are.

FROM THE FOUNDER
I've shipped a lot of side projects. Every one made me set up the same boilerplate before the fun part could start, and every one left me another set of dashboards to check. Alfredo is me refusing to do that ever again. It runs on my server and watches my projects, and I want it to do the same for yours.

Every project runs on your servers and reports to one HQ.
You do not collect another set of dashboards every time you ship.
Questions.
That's a journey you steer. Alfredo starts with Umami for analytics, Postmark for email, Convex for the database, Better-Auth for auth, Creem for payments, Sentry for errors, GitHub and Uptime Kuma. The lineup grows from what you ask for.
When you deploy a project, Alfredo creates the keys and config each integration needs and wires them in automatically. You never copy a secret into a .env file again.
On your own server. Any VPS you can SSH into works. Alfredo doesn't host your projects; you have full control.
Yes, under the MIT licence. You can read, fork and change all of it at github.com/getalfredo/alfredo.
Your projects won't notice. Everything runs on your server, and the code stays open source.
You get exactly one email: the one that says Alfredo is live. Be one of the first inside.
Under the hood.
Alfredo is one program on one server. You point it at a plain Ubuntu 24.04 VPS, and it runs your projects as Docker Compose stacks.
- It ships as a single binary compiled with Bun. Installing it is one curl command that pulls the release from GitHub.
- Before anything else happens, alfredo first-run hardens the server. It installs your SSH keys, turns off root login, enables the firewall, sets up fail2ban, and switches on automatic security updates.
- Each project is a Docker Compose stack generated from a template, so you can read the file that describes what is running.
Alfredo uses three words for the pieces of that setup. The tree below is the real shape: one HQ, one porter on each of your servers, and trays that every project shares.
Your headquarters. The one dashboard every project reports to: traffic, email, payments, errors, uptime. In the code it is the binary plus the dashboard it serves.
