We areCoolifyengineers

We set up Coolify instances, connect Git repositories and structure environments from staging to production – including TLS, secrets and monitoring.

Installation, updates and hardening on Hetzner, OVH & co.
Docker and static-site deployments from Git
Managed services: PostgreSQL, Redis, MySQL, backups
Integration into existing CI/CD and DNS workflows

Git push to production

Branches and preview URLs speed up reviews – without a separate build-server landscape.

Docker-native workloads

Existing images and compose services can be adopted; Coolify orchestrates network, volumes and healthchecks.

Databases & persistence

PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis and MongoDB as managed instances – with backup schedules and restore tests.

TLS & zero-trust light

Automatic certificates, internal networks and secret injection reduce configuration errors at go-live.

Coolify in action

This is what Coolify looks like: a clear dashboard for deployments, databases and services – on your own infrastructure.

Frequently asked questions about Coolify

When is Coolify worth it for your company?

Coolify is worth it when you want Heroku-like deploy convenience but still want to keep control over your servers and data. We typically set it up on your own VPS or dedicated infrastructure, for example at Hetzner or OVH, so you get predictable server costs instead of usage-based platform pricing and avoid vendor lock-in. It pays off especially when you want to run several Docker apps, databases and environments centrally and transparently.

How do you set up Coolify and connect it to our repositories?

We install the Coolify instance on your server, harden it with a firewall and secure access, and then connect your Git repositories for push-based deployments. We structure the environments from preview through staging to production and set up TLS certificates, secrets management and monitoring. That gives you traceable deployments from Git and a clean separation between stages.

Can Coolify fit into our existing CI/CD and DNS workflows?

Yes. Coolify deploys Docker apps and static sites straight from Git and slots into existing CI/CD pipelines, for example when builds or tests should run upfront in GitHub or GitLab. On the DNS side we connect your domains and automate TLS issuance, so new environments are reachable without any manual certificate handling.

Can we migrate from Vercel, Railway or Render to Coolify?

That is one of our most common use cases. We migrate your applications from Vercel, Railway or Render to a self-hosted Coolify instance and carry over build configuration, environment variables and databases. Managed services like PostgreSQL, Redis or MySQL including backups are set up directly in Coolify, so everything sits in one place after the move.

Who takes care of operations, updates and backups after the setup?

Since Coolify is self-hosted, responsibility for the server stays with you or with us as the operator. On request we take on updates, hardening, monitoring with alerts and capacity planning, and we configure automatic database backups. That is the deliberate trade-off versus fully managed platforms: more control and lower cost, in exchange for a clearly governed operation that we secure for you.

Your edge with Coolify

Self-hosting is not a hobby project. We deliver runbooks, rollback paths and clear ownership – so your team can deploy without late-night firefighting.

Coolify vs. managed PaaS clouds

Coolify is open source and charges no licence fee – you only pay for your server. Managed PaaS providers bill per user plus usage-based fees that climb quickly with traffic and team size. As of June 2026.

	Coolify (self-hosted)	Heroku	Vercel Pro	Railway
Licence / platform cost	€0 (Apache 2.0)	from $5/mo per dyno	$20/user/mo + usage	Hobby $5 / Pro $20/mo
Real monthly cost*	Server from ~€5/mo (e.g. Hetzner)	~$25–500+ depending on dynos	~$150–300 at 5k MAU	~$80–200 at 5k MAU
Billing	Fixed server cost, predictable	Per dyno + add-ons	Per user + bandwidth/functions	Usage-based (credits)
Data ownership	Full control, your own servers	Vendor cloud (US)	Vendor cloud (US)	Vendor cloud
Vendor lock-in	None – Docker & open standards	Buildpack/add-on lock-in	Platform-specific features	Platform-specific
Operations	Updates/backups handled by us	Managed by the provider	Managed by the provider	Managed by the provider

Vendor list prices, as of June 2026 (Heroku/Vercel/Railway in USD). *Real cost varies with load; the Vercel/Railway estimates assume a SaaS app with ~5,000 monthly active users. The Coolify software is free (Apache 2.0); you only pay for your server plus, optionally, our operations. Rule of thumb: once usage- and team-based PaaS fees regularly exceed the cost of a dedicated server, Coolify pays off.
