Born from amonorepo headache.
One developer’s fix. Now shared.
Same repo. Two ways to deploy.
The usual way
- Database, then API, then web.
- Copy env vars. Hope.
- Wrong order? It won’t boot.
The Prongo way
services:
database: { image: postgres:16 }
api:
build: ./apps/api
depends_on: [database]
web:
build: ./apps/web
depends_on: [api]One file. One deploy.
“Deploying a monorepo shouldn’t feel like assembling furniture without the manual.”
A real cluster. Run in the evenings.

Four rules. Every decision.
The repo is the unit
→ No wiring services by hand.
Developers only
→ A wrong click can’t break infrastructure.
Small on purpose
→ Honest, and I fix what breaks.
Fair by default
→ No surprise bills. A free tier stays.
