RapidServe – Vercel-Style App Deployment Platform

RapidServe is a PaaS (Platform as a Service) that allows developers to deploy full-stack applications directly from their GitHub repositories. It leverages Docker-based builds, cloud infrastructure, and serverless functions to provide a fast, scalable, and automated deployment experience — essentially your own mini-Vercel.

Project Overview:
RapidServe is a Vercel-style deployment platform that allows developers to deploy full-stack applications directly from GitHub repositories. It automates building, containerizing, and deploying apps, while providing real-time monitoring and scalable cloud infrastructure.

Key Features:

• Docker-Based Builds: Automatically build and deploy containerized apps.
• GitHub Integration: Auto-deploy from repositories using webhooks.
• AWS Lambda & ECS Support: Run serverless functions and containerized apps.
• S3 Storage: Store build artifacts and static assets.
• Reverse Proxy Routing: Subdomain deployment and traffic management.
• Dashboard UI: Monitor deployments, view logs, and track build status.
• WebSocket Log Streaming: Real-time monitoring of builds and app runtime logs.

Technologies Used:

Layer	Tech Stack / Tools
Frontend	Next.js (App Router), Tailwind CSS
Backend / Builder	Node.js, Express, Docker CLI
Cloud & Infra	AWS Lambda, ECS, S3, Nginx (Reverse Proxy)
CI/CD	GitHub Webhooks, Custom Build Pipeline
Monitoring	WebSocket Server for real-time logs

Why this project matters:
RapidServe demonstrates full-stack development, DevOps, and scalable deployment practices. It showcases your ability to manage containerized applications, cloud infrastructure, automated pipelines, and real-time monitoring — all critical skills for modern production-ready platforms.
