Coolify enables Listadum to manage our servers cost-efficiently, which is essential given the compute and bandwidth demands of running shop intelligence and the keyword explorer features.

I found it very usefull for even production server, Just need some imporvement in their documentation. Faced some issues in remote docker stuff and It would be great, If we can add remote backup server in it. This is very useful when running in production.

I create my product hunt account just to give this project 5 stars because it deserves much more attention. Is an amazing product to easily deploy full stack projects. In my case, is the solution after heroku leaving the free tier. I tried some solutions but they lack some features, are outdated or didn't work well. Coolify solves every problem that the alternatives has. Need the option to make backups, but I think that it will come more soon that later because is listed, and they listen the community.

super amazing alternative to paid PaaS options. incredibly fast to set up, zero-effort to spin up new services, and quite powerful! it's really nice seeing a solid open source self hostable option out there for PaaS functionality, and even though it's still got a long way to go from being what I would consider a fully comprehensive platform, there is an impressive amount of steady feature development. in a year I can see this being my go-to for literally any project I build.

Great software and user experience, I have hosted and used lots of systems before that did try do something similar but never felt they actually care about usability aspect, how easy/quick you can host this stuff, spin up new projects. Very active developer maintaining this and working basically full time on it. Highly recommended if you tried before something like Dokku or maybe Docker hosting via your nas/home server via Ansible-NAS, DietPi HomelabOS Openmedia Vault etc

Feels incredibly stable for its current stage in development. It's easy to set up and even easier to deploy an application. The "service"-section, which installs a pre-defined list of services with only one click, is an incredible time saver. The only thing I am missing is a more advanced port mapping configuration, so that you can easily run things like AdGuard Home.
