This looks very sleek but coolify.io is also open source and a more mature project in my opinion.


Coolify.io is definitely more mature.

I built /dev/push because I wanted to offer a more streamlined UX, closer to what Vercel offer.

I am planning on adding more runtimes (there's a PR for Bun for example), support for custom containers and support for Docker Swarm, allowing you to manage multiple servers with a single instance.


I think you can get stronger by building your own identity (rather than "like vercel") - starts with the headline/tagline and pitch in a way that stands on its own.

"Open source X alternatives" are dime-a-dozen and put a limit on what you can be in the eyes of users. It also sets expectations such that differences easily become disappointment. Not having a global CDN can otherwise simply be out of scope but can be "missing feature" when pitched as an alternative to an established service.


Sure. I just thought it'd be easier to explain what it does at first. That was mostly a personal project initially.


The trouble I have is that when I see a headline like this on hackernews my first thought is always "huh.. so what are netlify and vercel?" Maybe most people on here already use those daily but not being in web development I usually don't.


I prefer Dokploy, Coolify sometimes has random bugs


Exactly, Dokploy doesn't get enough recognition because they don't burn through funds by spending it on marketing on YouTube channels


I don't think Coolify does that either, it was just one of the first modern PaaS that got traction after Dokku and CapRover which I consider a bit older and less modern, no GUI for example, but people seem to want a GUI for deployment management.


i started with coolify but ended up at dokploy
