Coolify is an open-source, self-hostable platform that replaces Heroku, Netlify, and Vercel. Deploy anything — apps, databases, services — on your own hardware with zero vendor lock-in.
Why Coolify Saves Money
A bootstrapped SaaS founder was paying $240/month across Heroku ($50), Vercel ($20), and managed databases ($170). They moved everything to a $20/month VPS with Coolify — same functionality, 88% cost reduction.
Key Features:
- One-Click Deploys — Git push to deploy any framework
- Database Management — PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, MongoDB with backups
- SSL Certificates — Automatic Let's Encrypt
- Docker Support — Deploy any Dockerfile or docker-compose
- Team Management — Multi-user with role-based access
Quick Start
curl -fsSL https://cdn.coollabs.io/coolify/install.sh | bash
