What it is and why it matters

Coolify is an open-source, self-hostable PaaS, an alternative to Vercel, Heroku and Netlify. It reproduces the push-to-deploy flow but on a server you own, at a flat, predictable cost: that of the box running it. You connect a Git repo and Coolify builds it, ships it and hands back a live URL with SSL, databases and backups included.

Key points

Push-to-deploy flow on a server you own
Flat, predictable cost, with no usage-based bill at month's end
From a Git repo it builds, ships and returns a URL with SSL

It explains that you connect a Git repo and Coolify builds it, deploys it and returns a live URL with SSL, databases and backups, within the general caveat that self-hosting means ops and maintenance. 10 Github Repos That Will Kill Your Monthly Subscriptions
