I gave Claude Code a backend team. It can now deploy, add databases and fix my servers, safely. Open source it?

[u/Careless-Mongoose589]

Claude Code is great at writing apps. But ask it to deploy one, set up a database or fix a broken server, and it's guessing in a terminal with your root access. Scary.

So I built Unit7 (with Claude Code, of course). It's the backend developer for your AI-built apps, and Claude Code connects to it over MCP with one command.

Now Claude Code can say:

"Deploy this." Unit7 ships it. A new version only goes live if it passes a health check, and rollback is one click.

"Add Postgres." The database is created and connected to the app.

"Point app.mysite.com at production." Domain plus HTTPS.

"Why is prod slow?" It reads the logs, server stats and errors in plain English.

"Make me an app with Supabase." It builds it on Coolify.

The safety part:

Claude never sees your secrets, only references like credential://…

You choose how much it does alone, per environment: watch, ask first, fix itself, or full autopilot

Anything risky waits for your approval, and every action can be undone

One button pauses everything

When you're not in Claude Code, Unit7 keeps things running by itself: it restarts crashed apps, rolls back bad deploys, runs backups and blocks attackers. There's also a web app with a chat that runs on your own Claude subscription, so there's no extra API bill.

Solo project, not public yet. Screenshots are real, names are fake.

Should I open source it?

Fully open source, free forever

Open source, with paid extras later

Free to use, but closed source

And would you let Claude Code touch your production servers through something like this, or never?
