Open-source Heroku alternative. Deploy anything — static sites, Node.js apps, Docker containers, databases — on your own servers.
Why it works
- Push-to-deploy: Git-based deployments like Heroku
- Auto SSL: Let’s Encrypt certificates automatically
- Any server: AWS, DigitalOcean, Hetzner, or your basement
- Databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, MongoDB one-click deploy
- Zero lock-in: Standard Docker under the hood
What you lose
- Vercel’s edge network and ISR
- Heroku’s add-on marketplace
- Some auto-scaling conveniences
