Deploy apps, databases and static sites from Git with Coolify, the open-source platform that gives you the convenience of Heroku, Vercel or Netlify on a server you control. Launch it from a pre-configured AMI in your own AWS account.
Coolify is an Apache 2.0, self-hostable platform that brings cloud-style deployment to your own servers. Built on Laravel and Docker, it deploys each app in its own container, with Traefik handling routing and automatic SSL, and it can manage further servers over SSH without vendor lock-in.
Built-in CI/CD from GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket.
Docker apps, static sites and background workers.
PostgreSQL, MySQL and Redis out of the box.
A catalogue of 280+ services to deploy in a click.
Environment variables, a secrets manager and scheduled jobs.
Traefik issues certificates for every app you deploy.
The AMI ships Coolify installed with Docker, so you can start deploying straight after launch.
Subscribe on AWS Marketplace and launch the CloudFormation stack. Allow 5-10 minutes.
Go to the DashboardUrlIp from the stack outputs and set up your Coolify account.
Link GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket so Coolify can build and deploy your repositories.
Add a project, set its domain and Port Exposes, and deploy. Add databases or one-click services as needed.
An AMI on AWS Marketplace, launched into your own AWS account with a CloudFormation stack.

A self-hostable platform that gives you cloud-style deployment of apps, databases and services on your own servers, managed over SSH and free of vendor lock-in.
Yes. The self-hosted version is Apache 2.0 with nothing behind a paywall. On AWS you pay for the instance and any Meetrix software fee shown on the listing.
Docker apps, static sites, background workers, PostgreSQL, MySQL and Redis databases, and one-click services, with Git-based CI/CD, secrets and cron jobs.
When bandwidth or per-seat costs grow faster than revenue, or you need long-running processes and databases that do not fit a serverless model. You give up their global edge network.
Usually Port Exposes does not match the port your app listens on, or the app is bound to 127.0.0.1 instead of 0.0.0.0.
No. Coolify runs on plain Docker, and a single server is enough.
t3.medium is the recommended starting point. Size up for more or heavier apps.
Back up your server data, remove the old stack and launch the new version from AWS Marketplace.
