Coolify

Coolify is an open-source platform-as-a-service that you run on your own servers, positioned as a self-hostable alternative to Heroku, Netlify, Vercel, and similar managed platforms. After installing Coolify on a virtual private server, a cloud instance, or even a home machine, a user gets a web dashboard for deploying static sites, APIs, full-stack applications, and databases, with automatic Let's Encrypt SSL, scheduled backups, and Git integration for GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Gitea that redeploys on push. It offers a large catalog of one-click services, so self-hosting common software like databases, analytics, and content tools is a few clicks rather than a manual Docker setup, and it manages multiple servers from one place. The appeal is control and cost: because it runs on infrastructure you own, there are no per-seat or per-project platform fees and no vendor lock-in, while keeping much of the convenience of a managed PaaS. Coolify supports webhooks, preview deployments for pull requests, resource monitoring, and team access controls, and it can deploy to Docker, Docker Swarm, and Kubernetes targets. The self-hosted version is fully open source and free with all features included, and the company offers Coolify Cloud, a managed control plane, for a low monthly fee per connected server for people who do not want to host Coolify itself.
