Yeah coolify is great, and they’re light years ahead on features.

Main difference is that coolify supports mostly single node deployments (I could be wrong about this). A single beefy vps could handle a massive amount of load, but for a lot of orgs, it doesn’t quite meet needs for resiliency, workloads, etc.

Canine is built on Kubernetes, so it can take advantage of the entire ecosystem, helm charts, third party add ons, etc.

A good example: I was able to deploy Dagster + clickhouse, hosted behind a VPN with telepresence, all with canine, with a few clicks.

I think for personal projects, coolify is more than enough though, and probably the better option at the moment. Most of my next year will just be adding features coolify already supports.

Isnt Coolify a Vercel alternative? In that, you dont see any k8s primitives (services, load balancer etc).

In my head, I put coolify, vercel as higher in the stack. fly.io, heroku, canine to be closer to metal, and all the on the metal is k8s and friends.
