A score out of 100. Negative and mixed reviews take points off, and so does having only a few reviews, so a handful of glowing reviews can’t beat a product many people like.

They run one Coolify on a single VPS for a Next.js app and find day to day deploys are just git push. The proxy being Traefik cost them debugging time because many older guides use Caddy labels.

They use Coolify commercially on EC2 and find it a quick install that gets extra apps running fast. They say it still needs service discovery and better docs on inter-server networking.

They use Coolify to manage a self-hosted multi-service stack and find it makes management easy. They say it is still not as easy as they would like and staging environments are not simple to set up.

They found Coolify easy to set up and deploy simple projects on a VPS or homelab, but switched to Dokploy because Coolify lacked easy horizontal scaling and had complex docs.
