Elestio is a managed DevOps platform for deploying more than 400 open-source applications, databases and AI tools on a cloud of your choice: you pick the software, the cloud provider and the region, and Elestio handles provisioning, updates, backups, SSL certificates and monitoring. The applications it deploys are open source, but the platform itself is proprietary, paid software, not open source and there is nothing to self-host.

Key Features

• 400+ managed open-source services — PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, MongoDB, n8n, Supabase, Keycloak, WordPress, Ollama, Dify, Langflow and many more, deployed in minutes.
• Bring your own cloud — 10 cloud providers, 160+ regions and 40+ countries, or bring your own VM / on-premise hardware (BYOVM). No vendor lock-in: software and data can be migrated to another provider at any time.
• Fully managed operations — automated backups, security updates, OS patches, SSL certificates and 24/7 monitoring are bundled into every plan.
• CI/CD, IaC and clustering — automated deployment pipelines, an official Terraform provider, high-availability clusters and multi-node scaling.
• Extras — S3-compatible object storage with no egress fees, AI DevOps credits, and three support levels (Level 1 included, Level 2 and Level 3 paid).

Licence and pricing

NOT open source. Elestio is a proprietary commercial platform (hosted SaaS). Plans start at $11/month for one fully managed service on a dedicated VM, and that single price includes the VM, managed DevOps, backups, SSL, monitoring and updates. Optional support upgrades cost $50/month (Level 2, 24h response) and $200/month (Level 3, 4h response). The company states ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA and GDPR compliance.

Alternatives

If you want the same deploy-in-a-click experience without a proprietary hosted platform, the open-source alternatives are strong:

• Coolify — self-hosted PaaS (Apache-2.0) to deploy applications, databases and services on your own servers.
• Runtipi — one-click app store (GPL-3.0) for your own homelab machine.
• Dokploy, CapRover and Dokku cover the same space as further self-hosted options.
