Dokploy
A modern, actively-developed self-hosted alternative to Vercel/Heroku/Netlify for deploying apps, databases, and static sites via Docker/Traefik. Standout trait is its clean UI and fast-moving feature set compared to older PaaS tools like CapRover.

⚙ Full Stack
TypeScript/Node backend on top of Docker Swarm and Traefik for routing, with Postgres storing app/deployment metadata via Drizzle ORM. The web dashboard is a Next.js app talking to the backend over tRPC/WebSockets.
📈 Scaling Analysis
Scales similarly to CapRover — Swarm-backed service replication handles moderate fleets well, and Traefik's dynamic config means new services get routed without restarts. Still bottlenecked by single-node Docker Swarm defaults; true multi-node HA requires manual swarm cluster setup outside the tool's guided flow.
🚀 Running on Nexlayer
Like CapRover, it wants to own a Docker socket to orchestrate other containers, which is at odds with Nexlayer's model where the platform (not an in-cluster PaaS) creates build/deploy resources. If run as a demo, give it a dedicated pod with a Postgres pod (`postgres.pod:5432`) and persistent storage for its Docker/Traefik state.
