Coolify alternative, with a UI you'll actually enjoy

Coolify is a popular open-source PaaS that supports dozens of services, databases, and runtimes. It's powerful and flexible. But if you've used it, you know the dashboard can feel overwhelming, 40-item sidebars, deeply nested settings, and a UI that prioritises breadth over clarity.

Risved takes a different approach. Instead of supporting everything, Risved focuses on JavaScript and TypeScript frameworks running on Deno. SvelteKit, Astro, Next.js, Hono, Fresh, Nuxt, the frameworks developers actually use. Fewer options, better experience.

Where Coolify wins

• Supports PHP, Python, Go, Ruby, and dozens of other runtimes
• Built-in database management (Postgres, MySQL, Redis, MongoDB)
• Multi-server support
• Larger community and longer track record

Where Risved wins

• Cleaner, design-led dashboard built with Svelte 5
• Automatic framework detection, no Dockerfiles to write
• Deploy previews for pull requests
• Simpler onboarding, one command to install, one screen to set up
• Purpose-built for modern JS/TS frameworks

Who should choose Risved

Developers working with JavaScript frameworks who want a focused, well-designed deployment tool. If you're deploying SvelteKit, Astro, or Next.js to a single VPS and want it to feel good, Risved is built for you.

Who should choose Coolify

Teams that need to deploy mixed stacks, PHP alongside Node.js, with managed databases and multi-server orchestration. Coolify's breadth is its strength.
