Coolify is an open-source, self-hostable deployment platform that builds each commit and ships it to servers connected over SSH. It handles websites, databases, web applications and 280+ one-click services, and is positioned as an alternative to Vercel, Heroku, Netlify and Railway. It supports builds via Nixpacks, Railpack, Dockerfile, Docker Compose, static sites and prebuilt Docker images.

Features include one-click databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, Redis, KeyDB, Dragonfly, ClickHouse), automatic Let's Encrypt SSL, webhooks and push-to-deploy integrations with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and Gitea, a powerful API, real-time terminal, pull request deployments, scheduled tasks, environments and shared variables, Cloudflare Tunnels, automatic database backups, monitoring, log drains, notifications, 2FA and single sign-on, instant rollbacks, and an MCP server for AI agents such as Claude and Cursor.

Coolify is aimed at developers and teams managing their own servers. It is packaged as a free self-hosted edition with full features and community support, or a Cloud edition with a monthly or annual subscription priced per connected server, where you bring your own servers.
