tldr; We built an open-source, MIT-licensed PaaS that:
Lets you scale beyond a single server.
Uses API keys for team access, not SSH keys.
Has a simple CLI and web UI without overwhelming configuration.
Includes built-in database management (disco postgres create).
Is funded by optional managed services, so that the code can remain free and open.
Dokku: Great, but locked us to single servers and required managing SSH access for teams.
Coolify: Powerful, but we found the sheer number of configuration options overwhelming.
Kamal: Brilliant for deployment, but we wanted integrated database management and other platform features built-in.
