coolify VS sidekiq

With a serverful approach, you can avoid these drawbacks, and the main challenge lies in selecting the platform that aligns with your requirements. Options may include AWS, Render, DigitalOcean, and others. While VPS is also an option, it's generally not recommended due to the significant setup and maintenance overhead involved (logging, monitoring, CI/CD pipelines, etc.). However, you can make your life easier by leveraging tools like Coolify that help managing your VPS.

Heroku and similar providers can simplify the server management issues, but you can use something much better that can combine both cost efficiency and ease of deployment—Coolify:

> VPSs being “easy to manage” is a strong option full of assumptions.

There are definitely many footguns with managing a VPS but I think the threshold to get vaguely competent with a VPS is not really that far off with getting familiar with the average cloud platform - which comes with its own dangers, like the near-total inability to put an upward cap on fees that that person found out with Netlify recently.

Having a $5 VPS and knowing it's never going to cost your more than $5 might balance out a lot of things on the other side for a lot of people.

(And, as a bonus, it comes with the benefit of having a better idea of what is going on on the actual computer which is running your code.)

Platforms like https://coolify.io/ (which I have not tried, but looks interesting) seem to give you some of the abstractions that you get in cloud platforms to save you having to mess with too much low level stuff and become an expert in a billion separate systems.

If you have Debian with automatic updates that does most of the heavy lifting for you. The hardest problem I have is resisting the temptation to just install everything, because the cost to do it is capped at my VPS monthly fee.

So yep, it comes with a lot of assumptions. But so does everything!

https://coolify.io/ might be worth a look

The modern iteration of these tools has taken the developer experience learnings from the Platform as a Service (PaaS) category, and will bring them to your own VM, giving you your own personal PaaS. Example of this include Dokku, Coolify, Caprover, Cloud66 and many more!

Here's some info if you're considering Render. Node docs, and you might also be interested in connecting to MongoDB Atlas. Or you can deploy an instance of MongoDB yourself.

Django is fun! Not sure how helpful this might be, but I work at Render and we have a tutorial on deploying Django as well as an in-depth walk-through for using Django with Saleor for e-commerce. Looking at those might give you some good context and example structures to work with. Good luck!

Ok so i m trying to deploy my app on render.com but i am getting the following error:

Cloud Application Hosting for Developers | Render

I understand why you might want to find a free solution, but I wanted to share that Render (where I work) has managed Postgres. You can use it for free for 90 days before deciding if you want to upgrade to a paid plan. I'd recommend a managed instance for a production environment.

I've tried to deploy to render.com on free tier, but it seems that each deploy resets the db.sqlite3 file, and I'd need it to persist.

Not sure if cpanel has this capability but railway.app, render.com, cleavr + aws or digital ocean droplet, coolify(open source) has the capability to set this up for you automatically. If you want to self host ssr manually, you'll need a aws ec2, digital ocean droplet, vultr server or linode server, then install nginx and nodejs, then setup your nuxt server.

Recently, I came to know that Heroku is going to stop supporting free services. I have almost all the projects running in Heroku and I never tried any services. Many people pointed out that Render is the best free alternative to the Heroku. So I am giving it a try by hosting a FastAPI application. Render seems to directly support python frameworks like Flask, Django etc as their documentation mentions them. But we should be able to host FastAPI app as it supports building any python app, we just need to change the starting command. Let's get into it without wasting another minute.
