DigitalOcean alternative

A DigitalOcean App Platform alternative at a smaller scale.

DigitalOcean App Platform is a solid managed host, but its entry tiers add up once you need a backend plus a database. Makofy keeps small products online at a lower, flat monthly price.

Lower starting price

Run a real app with managed Postgres from $6.99/mo, with a 7-day free trial and no card, instead of stacking separate component charges.

Managed deploy workflow

Connect a repo or deploy from the dashboard. Makofy builds the service, publishes it with HTTPS, and gives you logs, metrics, and health checks.

Apps, workers, and data

Host web apps, APIs, background workers, Docker containers, and static sites, then attach managed Postgres or Redis when you need state.
