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.
Table

| Coolify | Multi-server (independent Docker Engines) | TypeScript, Docker | Web UI | |
| Dokku | Single-server | Bash, Docker | CLI on the server | |
| Exoframe | Multi-server (Docker swarm mode) | JavaScript, Docker | CLI client on the deployment machine | |
| Piku | Single-server | Python | CLI client on the deployment machine | Smaller than Dokku. Does not use Docker. Runs on low-end devices. |
