Huly (self-hosted)

An all-in-one work management platform (project tracking, docs, chat, CRM) positioned as a Linear+Notion+Slack alternative. Its standout trait β€” and biggest deployment liability β€” is that service URLs get compiled into the frontend bundle at build time.

βš™ Full Stack

TypeScript monorepo with four backend services (front, account, transactor, collaborator), MongoDB for primary data and MinIO for object storage; the frontend is a Vite-built SPA.

πŸ“ˆ Scaling Analysis

The individual backend services can scale independently, but the build-time URL-baking is a hard architectural limitation: you cannot move or blue-green a deployment to a new hostname without rebuilding the frontend image, which undermines otherwise-reasonable horizontal scaling.

πŸš€ Running on Nexlayer

Requires 5+ pods (front, account, transactor, collaborator, mongo, minio) wired via <podName>.pod:<port>. The critical gotcha: ACCOUNTS_URL/TRANSACTOR_URL/COLLABORATOR_URL are baked into the frontend bundle at Vite build time, so changing the Nexlayer deployment URL later requires a full image rebuild, not just an env var change β€” plan the final URL before first build.
