Veltic vs Coolify and Dokploy
Self-hosted PaaS alternative: understand self-operation versus a managed offering.
Self-operated or managed
Coolify and Dokploy are tools for self-hosted deployments on infrastructure you own. Veltic Managed is a monthly product with account activation and a shared dashboard for data and applications. The technology overlaps; the responsibility does not.
Compare responsibility, not features
When self-hosting you plan servers, updates, backups and recovery yourself. Compare those tasks against the actual scope of a managed contract. None of these options removes the need to test your backups or your application.
You operate
Self-hosted: server, OS updates, TLS, backups, recovery, monitoring.
We operate
Managed: the platform, the runtime, the certificate lifecycle, the deploy pipeline.
You still own
Your schema, your indexes, your backup restores, your application's behaviour.
Cost model
Self-hosted trades money for your time. Judge it against what your time is worth.
