M3O is an open source public cloud platform. We are building an AWS alternative for the next generation of developers.
AWS has become the monstrous behemoth public cloud provider we all love to hate. It's massive complexity and confusing pricing has made it an incredibly difficult choice for developers to adopt. But what's the alternative? M3O is an attempt to build a new open source public cloud platform for the next generation of developers. Consume existing public APIs all in one place as simpler programmable building blocks.
M3O is powered by the open source Micro platform and programmable real world Micro Services.
Here's the highlights:
- 🔥 Dev UX - The developer experience is first priority. A slick new UX for the next generation of developers.
- ☝️ One Token - Use one Micro API token to fulfill all your API needs. Access multiple public APIs with a single token.
- ⚡ Fast Access - Using a new API is easy - no need to learn yet another API, it's all the same Micro developer experience.
- 🆓 Free to start - It's a simple pay as you go model and everything is priced per request. Top up your account and start making calls.
- 🚫 Anti AWS Billing - Don't get lost in a sea of infinite cloud billing. We show you exactly what you use and don't hide any of the costs.
- ✔️ Open Source Software - Built on an open source foundation and services which anyone can contribute to or run independently.
- Head to m3o.com and signup for a free account.
- Generate an API key on the Settings page.
- Browse the APIs on the Explore page.
- Call any API using your token in the
Authorization: Bearer [Token]header andhttps://api.m3o.com/v1/[service]/[endpoint]url.

M3O is built on existing public cloud infrastructure using managed kubernetes along with our own infrastructure automation and abstraction layer for existing public APIs. We host the open source Micro project as our base Cloud OS and use it to power all the Micro Services, which provide simpler building blocks for existing cloud primitives.
We then host our own custom dev UX on top and a backend as the management control plane.
Developers build and contribute to services in github.com/micro/services, an Apache 2.0 licensed vendor neutral home. We then automate the building and publishing of those services and client libraries. This creates a shared and fully managed platform for everyone to leverage.
We primarily use existing open source software, fully managed services and SaaS APIs as the backing infrastructure then layer a standard interface on top. With all the services on one platform, accessible with one API token, we drastically improve the Dev UX.
Here's the homes of all the related projects:
- m3o.com - a hosted fully managed offering of micro services
- m3o/m3o - the canonical location for everything on github
- m3o/cloud - locally hostable dev UX for the website
- m3o/platform - the infrastructure automation for hosted cloud stack
- m3o/backend - the services which power the m3o.com backend
- micro/micro - an open source operating system for the cloud
- micro/services - open source micro services powering m3o.com
This project is VC funded with a combination of open source development and platform management provided by the Micro team.
