Welcome to dFlow
dFlow is a self-hosted deployment and infrastructure platform built for developers and teams who want the flexibility of managing their own servers — without the complexity of traditional DevOps tools or container orchestration.
Think of it as a simpler alternative to tools like Vercel, Railway, or Heroku — but designed for self-hosting, server control, and real production use-cases.
What Makes dFlow Different
- 🚀 Multi-server orchestration over SSH — scale across any number of servers without containers or Kubernetes.
- ⚙️ Production-ready workflows — deploy apps, run cron jobs, manage databases, and monitor everything from a single UI.
- 🧩 Bring your own stack — supports Node.js, PHP, Python, Go, Ruby, and databases like MySQL, Postgres, MongoDB, Redis, and more.
- 🔐 No vendor lock-in — use your own infrastructure, your own cloud provider, and extend the platform freely.
- 💻 Built for developers — designed with a dev-first mindset for speed, clarity, and control.
