Self-hosting with superpowers. Open-source alternative to Heroku, Vercel, Netlify.

Coolify is an open-source, self-hostable platform for deploying websites, databases, web applications, and 280+ one-click services to your own server. It supports any language or framework, integrates with major Git providers, and handles SSL certificates, automatic backups, and server monitoring. It positions itself as a free, vendor-lock-in-free alternative to managed platforms like Heroku, Vercel, Netlify, and Railway.
Users connect their own servers via SSH and deploy apps, databases, or services through Coolify's dashboard or API, with Git-based push-to-deploy and automated management features.
