Coolify

Self-hosted PaaS (open source)

Free tier + paidHosting, deploy & edgecoolify.io

What it is

Open-source Vercel and Heroku replacement you install on any VPS with a single shell command. It handles Git deploys, Docker Compose stacks, automatic Let's Encrypt certificates, databases, scheduled backups and preview environments on servers you own. The Cloud tier only hosts the control plane.

Why it earns a slot

Flat, knowable cost: one EUR 5 Hetzner box with 20 TB of included traffic runs a dozen apps for less than a single Vercel seat, and unmetered bandwidth means bill shock is structurally impossible.

Know before you commit

You become the sysadmin — OS patching, backups, uptime and the 3am reboot are yours. Coolify has shipped breaking upgrades; snapshot the VPS first, and keep the control plane off your production box. No managed DDoS: put Cloudflare in front.
