Certificate Renewal Deploy Butler

Automatically issue Let's Encrypt certs and deploy them to multi-cloud CDNs, object storage and BT panels

Problem

Free certificates from Alibaba Cloud and Tencent Cloud are valid for only 3 months. With many domains, teams must log into each CDN, object storage and video service console every few months to replace certs manually—repetitive work that easily misses a service and triggers production alerts.

Solution

A certificate automation service: use DNS-01 validation to issue single-domain and wildcard certs, auto-renew before expiry, and auto-deploy to CDNs, object storage, video-on-demand and BT panel sites across Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud, Volcano Engine, Huawei Cloud, Qiniu and more.

Users

Small teams and indie developers operating multiple domains and cloud services, plus web agencies hosting client sites

MVP

Issue Let's Encrypt single-domain and wildcard certs; auto-renew before expiry; first integrate CDN and object storage for 2-3 cloud providers; auto-deploy to BT panel sites; email alerts on failed deployment and upcoming expiry

Revenue

Monthly subscription tiered by domain count, with a free tier for 1-2 domains; enterprise plan adds more cloud services and team collaboration

Why now

Free cert lifetimes shrinking to 3 months multiplies manual ops burden, and the multi-cloud long tail is exactly what big vendors won't handle in depth—integration depth gives indies a moat
