Ask HN: Are you interested in building devtools/infra for science?

    I built one and about to open-source it in a few months: https://labs.selfmade.ninja

    This lives in my academy atm - but you can signup for free and try it out. This is a DevOps infra for higher educational research - right now focused on Cybersecurity, IoT, Software Engineering, AI Workflows.

    But this can be customised to whatever you want to run - because all I provide is a mini self-hosted AWS for EdTech that gives you MicroVMs, VPN, Hosting, AI Based learning and evaluation tools, all gamified. It can generate Roadmaps and link them to lessons you can then try on labs! So a lab can be anything you want to be!

    You looking for something like this? Am I anywhere near?

      This is more on the ed-tech side right? I'm thinking more tooling to help a synthetic biologist design a protein, or a DARPA PM integrate the research activities of the labs they fund.

        Yes, this deployment more of EdTech! But what tools you are willing to run decides the deployment nature. What makes it EdTech-ish is the type of labs it has now. If you have a tool that you want to run on linux and access via browser/port, then this is a right architecture. Rest is all networking and compute instances talk to each other.

        So you need to tell which tooling you want, and I might be able to configure it. I am no biologist, but an engineer who understands DevOps.
