I was also looking at alternatives - K8S-based - https://github.com/cozystack/cozystack https://github.com/kubero-dev/kubero https://github.com/pluralsh/plural DCR-based - https://github.com/coollabsio/coolify https://github.com/dokku/dokku/ https://github.com/Dokploy/dokploy https://github.com/swiftwave-org/swiftwave Most of these projects are maintained by a single maintainer; for business critical apps look elsewh…

Because businesses always support their software better than individuals?

The amount of random 1 man opensource projects holding up industries is shocking XD

It's worse for corporate private source projects. Often the docs are lacking and it's essentially a 0-man project.

I've been using Coolify for about a year now and have been very happy with it. It's really low maintenance, it has built in backups for your apps and databases, decent security by default, and is super easy to use. I log into the underlying VMs once per month to do an apt update/upgrade, and that's about it.

I've been fascinated by how little developers know how to take a service they have, and make it accessible on something like their home network.

It's honestly a shocker to me. There's so much knowledge about the stack that gets lost with these services.

Heroku has been around for ~17 years at this point. Why do you think it disappears in the next 10?

Right, it should say that Heroku has already disappeared. It's still there but feels like something different from what it once was.

I work there. We are still around. Maybe not making waves as much as we used to but still hacking on stuff.

Right now I’m in the progress of rolling out a new platform powered by Cloud Native Buildpacks that allow you to build an OCI image locally. Here’s some language specific getting started (local) tutorials https://github.com/heroku/buildpacks#heroku-cloud-native-bui...

Btw, did you know about unattended upgrades?

Just curious as the stated reason for the stated reason would become almost unnecessary with that

I don't mean it as discouragement but, at least for me, I would choose Heroku or Netlify because I don't want to self host it. I want someone else to manage all those bits for me. It's good experience building the app though and good to have alternatives available.

I use (and love) Heroku in my day job, but when experimenting with Hetzner servers (and the like), it’s nice to have a GUI/framework like Coolify to manage the servers in a similar manner.

Sweet. I know. I even have the $5/mo plan just to keep https://anigram.herokuapp.com/ online :)

Nice to hear about the buildpacks. I use Containerfiles but since switching to Podman and Fedora/RockyLinux I've seen stuff about OpenShift which supports buildpacks. https://github.com/sclorg/s2i-base-container/
