Show HN: Prvue – Self-managed preview environments for back end apps

I've built an open-source tool for managing isolated preview environments (per PR) for backend applications. Currently provisions servers on DigitalOcean.

Inspired by Netlify/Vercel's preview links for frontend apps, I wanted something similar for backends. Frontend apps are generally stateless and simple to preview, but backend apps work with databases, Redis, message brokers, etc., which made building a framework that works for different application types quite tricky.

I recently discovered Railway offers something similar, but I still wanted to build the tool I wished existed. The learning process has been incredibly rewarding.

Built with Docker, Terraform, and Ansible. Supports NestJS, Laravel, Node.js, Rust, Go, PHP, and more.

Demo videos coming soon. Open to collaborations and contributions!
