Deal Highlights
Coolify — Self-Host Your Apps Like Heroku, For Free
Coolify is an open-source, self-hostable alternative to Heroku, Netlify, and Vercel. Deploy any application — Docker, Node.js, Python, PHP, static sites — to your own server with Git push deployment, SSL certificates, and automatic updates. All the PaaS convenience without the PaaS pricing.
Your Own Platform-as-a-Service
Coolify turns any VPS into a deployment platform. Push to Git, Coolify builds and deploys. Add a domain, Coolify configures SSL. Need a database? Coolify provisions PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, or MongoDB with one click. It is Heroku running on your $5 VPS.
Why Self-Host
Heroku Eco dynos cost $5/month per app. A $5 VPS with Coolify runs unlimited apps. Vercel charges for bandwidth and serverless function execution. Coolify on your server has no usage fees. For startups running multiple services, the savings are 10-50x.
One-Click Services
Deploy databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis), monitoring (Plausible, Grafana), CMS (WordPress, Ghost), and dozens of other services with one click. No Docker knowledge required for pre-configured services.
Coolify vs Dokku
Dokku is a simpler single-server PaaS. Coolify has a better UI, multi-server support, and more one-click services. Dokku is more mature and battle-tested. Coolify is more feature-rich and actively developed.
