Self-hosted PaaS

A comparison table of platform-as-a-service or “Heroku clone” software that you can run on your own servers. “Self-hosted platform as a service” may seem like a contradiction, but it can make it easier to manage your applications in a uniform way. I focus on the smaller and simpler projects; no Kubernetes here.
