Coolify: Deploy Without the PaaS Tax
Self-hosted alternative to Vercel and Heroku that consolidates 280+ services on your own servers—cut hosting costs and vendor lock-in in one move.
coollabsio/coolify ↗Coolify is a control panel for your own servers that does what Vercel, Heroku, and Netlify do—but on infrastructure you own. Push code, it deploys. Need a database? PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB spin up in one click. Full-stack app? Static site? 280+ pre-packaged services (from Stripe webhooks to Ghost blogs)? All deployable from a single dashboard, all running on your hardware, all keeping your data off someone else's platform. For solopreneurs tired of per-dyno pricing and teams wanting escape routes from SaaS bills, this cuts both the friction and the recurring costs.

Just deployed a side project on my own server instead of paying Vercel again. Used Coolify—took 15 minutes to get a full-stack app running with a Postgres database attached, no vendor lock-in tax.

Open source, actually maintained, actually works. If you're tired of SaaS bills and deploy friction, this cuts both. Ship faster, keep your data, own your infrastructure.
