  • 🖥️ Compute — One VM in your cloud of choice or self-hosted.
  • 📂 Data warehouse — Private file storage for media + PostgreSQL database for tabular data.
  • 🔐 Access control — Centralized login (Auth0).
  • 📦 Apps — Windmill, Superset, Filebrowser, GC Explorer, CoMapeo Remote Archive Server, plus anything else via CapRover.
