What is it?

Dokploy is a free, self-hostable Platform as a Service that handles deployment and management of applications and databases. It is positioned as an open-source alternative to Vercel, Netlify and Heroku, running on your own VPS rather than a hosted service.

It supports deploying applications written in Node.js, PHP, Python, Go, Ruby and others, along with Docker Compose stacks. Managed databases include MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MariaDB, libsql and Redis, with automated backups to external storage. Traefik handles routing and load balancing, and Docker Swarm enables multi-node clusters.

For observability, Dokploy monitors CPU, memory, storage and network usage per resource and can ship logs and metrics to tools such as Grafana, Datadog, New Relic and AWS CloudWatch. Deployment notifications go to Slack, Discord, Telegram or email, and a CLI and API are available for automation.
