I Built a Decentralized P2P PaaS to Host Web & AI Apps on Idle Home PCs (NeighborHost)

Описание и применение

NeighborHost – децентрализованная PaaS‑платформа, использующая неактивные домашние ПК для хостинга веб‑ и AI‑приложений, снижая стоимость до ~7 USD/мес и устраняя ограничения серверлесс‑развертываний.

Задача

Cloud platforms charge high fees and impose strict execution limits, while millions of powerful home PCs remain idle for most of the day.

Результат

NeighborHost enables low‑cost, always‑on hosting for web and AI apps by leveraging idle home PCs, reducing deployment costs by ~70% compared to major cloud providers and eliminating serverless limitations.
