Good morning from the Jersey shore! Beautiful spot and yet so strange! Everywhere I’ve lived, public lands (forest, beach, desert) has always been the norm. To see the beaches here owned and operated by the towns is so strange! And many require “beach badges” to use.

We washed ashore a million millennia ago and the ocean still feels like home. Maybe it’s because after a million millennia, we still carry the ocean with us inside: that’s why our tears are salty.

We're excited to announce early access to our Managed Clusters product! Request access on miren.dev/pricing! Miren has always been focused on self-hosted, but there are many of you that have asked if instead Miren could run the cluster for them. The answer is now yes!

Pricing - Miren
Miren's self-hosted core is free forever: the whole CLI and the core deploy workflow, on servers you own. Here's how we plan to make money.

Miren Runtime v0.14.0 is out 🚀 First Class Secrets: store app credentials with miren secret, reference them from app.toml. Encrypted, and never in your config, logs, or image layers. Plus App Tasks, a SQLite addon, and more: miren.dev/blog/v0-14-r...

Miren v0.14: Release Highlights - Miren
You build the app. We'll take the fiddly bits: secrets, tasks, maintenance windows, SQLite, and reaching clusters off the public internet.

Deploying apps on the web has always been a major turn off for me - it feels like being gifted a litter of puppies. Assorted pain reduction services exist with tamagotchi rental economics. And then I discovered miren.dev. I have absolutely no association with them. I am just genuinely in awe.

Miren - Everything You Need. Everywhere You Need It.
Miren is a deployment platform designed for small teams that provides tools to deploy, manage, and scale applications.

When I started Miren, the idea was always to launch Miren Anywhere because it is truly what makes self-hosted clusters sing. It removes the awkward network location question and gives you the ability to use compute anywhere it might be. I'm so fucking excited to let you all use it!

Miren v0.12.0 ships Miren Anywhere: your cluster dials out, Miren's edge carries traffic back, and my-chores.miren.app can be served straight off a laptop in the kitchen 👩‍🍳💻 The "deploy works but the URL times out" wall, gone 🔄✨ miren.dev/blog/miren-a...

The family and I have been in Sweden the last week and it’s always surprising when someone hears my accent and asks if I’m from England. (I have a flat American accent) It’s an honest reminder that languages are hard even when every Swede knows English w minimum of 1000% more than I know Swedish.
