About dFlow
dFlow is a developer-first, self-hosted Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) that enables teams to deploy, manage, and scale applications on their own infrastructure while maintaining the simplicity and experience of modern cloud platforms.
Designed as a self-hosted alternative to platforms like Heroku and Railway, dFlow allows developers, startups, and agencies to run production workloads on their own servers without vendor lock-in or usage-based pricing constraints.
At its core, dFlow uses Docker-based deployments to provide consistent, repeatable application environments. Developers can deploy applications using container images or Dockerfiles, manage environment variables, view real-time logs, and control application lifecycle operations such as start, stop, restart, and scaling.
dFlow includes a centralized dashboard for managing applications, servers, environments, and deployment workflows.
