Reviewer scorecard
“Heroku DX on your own infrastructure. Docker-based deploys, SSL, and monitoring without cloud vendor lock-in.”
“Write IaC in TypeScript with full IDE support, loops, conditionals, and testing. No DSL to learn.”
“If you want control over your infrastructure without raw Docker/K8s complexity, Coolify is the sweet spot.”
“Using real programming languages for IaC makes sense. The Terraform-to-Pulumi converter eases migration.”
“The self-hosting movement is growing. Coolify makes it accessible to developers who don't want to be sysadmins.”
“AI can write TypeScript better than HCL. Pulumi's approach is more natural for the AI-assisted future.”
