What is Coolify Self-Hosting
Coolify is an open-source PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service) alternative. You install Coolify on your own servers (AWS, DigitalOcean, or bare metal) and get a web UI to deploy applications with git push, manage databases, handle SSL certificates, and monitor logs. It's Heroku-like ease without vendor lock-in. You control the infrastructure and data.
