Reviewer scorecard
“Heroku DX on your own infrastructure. Docker-based deploys, SSL, and monitoring without cloud vendor lock-in.”
“The standard for metrics. PromQL is powerful, the ecosystem is massive, and it pairs perfectly with Grafana.”
“If you want control over your infrastructure without raw Docker/K8s complexity, Coolify is the sweet spot.”
“Battle-tested at every scale. The pull model and service discovery integration are well-designed.”
“The self-hosting movement is growing. Coolify makes it accessible to developers who don't want to be sysadmins.”
“Prometheus + Grafana is the open-source observability stack. Mimir extends it to global scale.”
