Coolify is an open-source, self-hosted alternative to Heroku, Netlify, and Vercel, offering a robust deployment solution for developers. Coolify supports various programming languages and frameworks, enabling users to deploy static websites, APIs, backends, and services on any server with an SSH connection, including VPS, Raspberry Pi, and EC2. It supports single-server, multiserver, and Docker Swarm cluster deployments, with Kubernetes support planned for the future. Coolify works easily with major Git platforms like GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket, allowing push-to-deploy setups and giving users full control over their data to avoid vendor lock-in. The platform simplifies hosting with one-click deployments, free SSL certificate management from Let's Encrypt, automatic S3-compatible backups, and strong API support for automation. Coolify improves team collaboration with features such as pull request deployments, permission controls, and browser-accessible real-time server terminals. It automates server management tasks, offers real-time monitoring and notifications via Discord and email, and promptly alerts users about server and deployment issues. Coolify states that users maintain full control over their privacy and data since all settings and configurations are stored on their private servers.
Coolify provides a free self-hosted version for users who manage their own resources, and a cloud-hosted option with tiered pricing, making it suitable for individuals and teams of all sizes. The cloud solution starts at $5 per month and adjusts based on the number of deployments needed, offering flexibility.
