Coolify Has a Free API: The Open-Source Heroku Alternative You Self-Host on a $5 VPS

Heroku killed its free tier. Vercel limits serverless. Railway caps usage. What if you could deploy anything — apps, databases, services — on your own $5/month VPS with Heroku-like simplicity? That is Coolify. What Is Coolify? Coolify is an open-source, self-hostable platform-as-a-service. It turns any VPS into a deployment platform with git push deploys, automatic SSL, database provisioning, and monitoring. Think Heroku, but you own the server and pay only for VPS hosting.
