The idea

Kamal handles deploying your application. That doesn't mean every decision around running it disappears. You still have to set up servers, work out CI, back up data, and know when something goes wrong. Other developers have built tools and written guides for all of that.

Some are easy to find. Others are tucked away in a repository you only discover after you've solved the same problem yourself. Awesome Kamal brings those projects together and gives you enough context to decide which ones are worth a closer look.

What belongs here

Tools, deployment examples, and genuinely useful writing about Kamal. A project using Kamal internally isn't automatically a Kamal resource, and a repository with an impressive README isn't necessarily ready for production.

Each entry should explain what the project does, when it might be useful, and what to check before adopting it. Open-source and commercial tools are both welcome. This is a directory, not a seal of approval.

Who runs it

I'm Rob. I build and run apps with Kamal, and I also build Upstate, which supports this directory. Upstate gets a listing, not a special position in the list. Competing products are welcome too.

Awesome Kamal is independent. It isn't affiliated with the Kamal maintainers or 37signals.

Make it better

Found something you use that isn't listed? Suggest it. If a description is wrong or out of date, open a PR. Corrections are just as helpful as new links, especially when a project supports only an older version of Kamal.
