dFlow is a self-hosted Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) that prioritizes developers, allowing teams to deploy, manage, and scale their applications on private infrastructure while enjoying the ease and functionality typical of modern cloud services.
Positioned as a self-hosted solution in comparison to platforms like Heroku and Railway, dFlow empowers developers, startups, and agencies to handle production workloads on their own servers, circumventing vendor lock-in and eliminating usage-based pricing limitations.
At its foundation, dFlow leverages Docker for deployments, ensuring that application environments remain consistent and reproducible. Developers are enabled to deploy applications through container images or Dockerfiles, manage environment variables, access real-time logs, and oversee crucial application lifecycle operations like starting, stopping, restarting, and scaling.
Moreover, dFlow features a comprehensive dashboard that facilitates the management of applications, servers, environments, and deployment workflows, streamlining the entire process for users. This all-in-one approach enhances collaboration and efficiency for development teams looking for greater control over their application infrastructure.
