03 / Honest take
When Coolify is the better choice.
Coolify gives you a self-hosted platform you control; Deployxa gives you the same push-to-deploy workflow without running the servers. The choice is mostly about who you want maintaining the infrastructure.
- You want to own the servers and keep all data on your own infrastructure.
- You prefer open-source software you can inspect and modify.
- You already run servers and want to avoid a platform fee.
- You want its catalogue of one-click self-hosted services.
04 / Migration
Move from Coolify in 4 steps.
Run Deployxa next to your current setup, check the result on its own URL, and only switch DNS once you are happy.
Connect the repository
Connect your GitHub or GitLab repository for push-to-deploy, or use the CLI.
$ npm install -g @deployxa/cli && deployxa login
Move variables and data
Push environment variables and import database dumps into attached databases.
$ deployxa env push
Ship to production
Deployxa provisions isolated containers with health checks and TLS. Point DNS at Deployxa when ready.
$ deployxa deploy
05 / FAQ
Questions and answers.
Can I run databases like PostgreSQL and MySQL?
Yes. Projects can attach PostgreSQL, MySQL or SQLite, and PostgreSQL databases can be snapshotted and restored.
Do I need to manage my own VPS?
No. Deployxa is fully managed: we run, patch and monitor the servers for you.
How long does it take to move from Coolify?
For a single app with environment variables and a custom domain, most of the work is copying variables and waiting for DNS to update. Databases add the time it takes to export and import your data.
