Coolify is an open-source, self-hostable platform-as-a-service for deploying applications, databases, and services on your own servers. Founded in 2021 and Apache-2.0 licensed, it uses a Docker-based stack with 280+ one-click services and can deploy to any SSH server or to providers like DigitalOcean, AWS, Hetzner, Linode, and Vultr. It targets developers wanting a self-hosted Heroku or Vercel alternative. It is free forever to self-host, with an optional paid managed cloud, and includes a control panel, database backups, and multi-provider support, though not staging or auto-scaling.
