"You don't own your infrastructure. You rent it from a landlord who charges you for the air you breathe."
Software development used to be about creation. Now, it is about configuration.
We spend 40% of our time writing code and 60% of our time wrestling with IAM roles, YAML files, and CI/CD pipelines that break because a container registry in us-east-1 had a hiccup.
Then came the "PaaS" providers (Vercel, Heroku). They promised simplicity. They gave us a credit card bill. They locked us into proprietary runtimes. They made us dependent.
If you cannot deploy your application without Vercel's proprietary edge functions, you do not own your application. You are a digital serf working on a feudal lord's land.
Computers are fast. Really fast. The latency you feel isn't the hardware; it's the layers of abstraction you piled on top of it.
Ronin strips the layers. We give you a Docker container and a port. That's it. No magic. No "serverless warm-up time." Just raw execution.
We don't fingerprint your browser. We don't sell your email to ad networks. To our database, you are just a hex string.
>> WARNING: We protect privacy, not crime. If you deploy malware, phishing sites, or illegal content, the anonymity ends. We have bills to pay and we aren't going to prison for you.
We serve no master. Ronin is open source. You can host it on AWS, DigitalOcean, or a Raspberry Pi in your closet. We provide the sword; you choose the battlefield.
We reject "Hype Driven Development." We don't use the latest JS framework of the week. We use Rust, Linux, and Postgres. Technology that survives.
Your logs, your metrics, and your customer data sit on your disk. Not in our cloud. Not in a data lake we sell to advertisers. Yours.
We chose our tools carefully. We optimized for performance, safety, and longevity.
