while is built by Nextmap
while (while.sh) is a French PaaS built for AI agents. Nextmap builds it and runs it, and your apps run on its infrastructure, in France.
What while does
Over MCP, your agent deploys your apps and everything they use: PostgreSQL databases, caches, S3 storage, scheduled jobs, domains and private access. Sensitive actions wait for a person, and your agent never sees your keys.
Who builds while
Nextmap is the hosting, managed services and consulting business of NXT Initiative, a company founded in 2016. It hosts its customers’ software in France, runs their servers and their cloud accounts wherever they are, and advises them on their infrastructure projects.
Nextmap’s customers talk directly to the engineers who run their servers, in a shared channel on Slack, Microsoft Teams or their team’s messaging app.
The while guides are written by Aloïs Oddon and the comparisons by Grégoire Mougeolle, both co-founders of Nextmap.
