The Canadian alternativeto HerokuRailway
Git push deploys, managed databases, flat pricing. Canadian infrastructure with real data sovereignty.
Why this exists
It started with a simple goal: run my projects on Canadian infrastructure. That turned out to be surprisingly difficult.
Every developer-friendly PaaS routes through US infrastructure: Heroku, Railway, Render, Vercel. Whether you need Canadian jurisdiction for compliance or just prefer it on principle, the options were the same: none.
So I built what I was looking for: a Canadian deployment platform with the modern PaaS experience, with no US routing. Your code and your data, on Canadian soil.
From sign-up to deploy in minutes
Watch your VM spin up in real time with live provisioning updates. Once ready, manage deployments, databases, domains, and backups from one dashboard. No tickets, no waiting.
Your first deployment
- 1
Connect your repo
Open your Coolify dashboard, connect your GitHub or GitLab account, and point it at a repository. Coolify detects your framework automatically.
- 2
Push and you're live
Push to your branch. Coolify builds, deploys, and issues an SSL certificate. Your app is running on a dedicated Canadian VM with a live URL.
- 3
Add a database if you need one
One click for PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, or MongoDB. Connection details are ready to copy into your app's environment variables. No separate add-on billing.
Why MapleDeploy
Deploys that just work
Git push and you're live. Automatic SSL. One-click PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, MongoDB. Coolify managed hosting that makes deployment feel like it should.
Pricing you can predict
Starting at $45 CAD/month for a dedicated VM that's entirely yours. No per-project fees, no usage charges, no surprise bills at the end of the month.
Canadian-first infrastructure
Each customer gets their own dedicated VM in Toronto. Not a shared container, a fully isolated virtual machine with guaranteed resources. Built for PIPEDA compliance, with GDPR adequacy status and no CLOUD Act exposure.
What you can deploy
Anything that runs in a Docker container or deploys via Git:
- Node.js, Python, Ruby, Go, PHP, Java
- Static sites and SPAs
- APIs and backend services
- Full-stack apps with managed databases
If it runs on Linux, it runs on MapleDeploy.
300+ one-click services
WordPress, Supabase, Grafana, N8N, Ollama, and hundreds more. Deploy pre-configured services alongside your app with one click. No per-service billing, no third-party providers.
Production-ready from day one
PR preview environments
Every pull request gets its own preview URL with automatic cleanup. Test changes in isolation before merging.
Real-time logs and alerts
Stream logs from any service. Get deployment notifications via Discord, Telegram, or email.
One-click rollbacks
Something break? Roll back to a previous deployment in seconds from the Coolify dashboard.
Isolated by default
Each customer gets their own VM with dedicated resources. No shared containers, no noisy neighbors, no cross-tenant access.
Secrets and environment variables
Manage environment variables per service from the dashboard. Secrets stay encrypted and never appear in build logs.
Weekly full-server snapshots included
Weekly full-server snapshots with 30-day post-cancellation retention. Plus Coolify's built-in database backup to S3-compatible storage for granular control.
Real-time server monitoring
Track CPU and memory usage directly from the Coolify dashboard. See resource utilization in real time so you always know how your server is performing. No third-party monitoring setup required.
Pricing
One dedicated VM, fully yours. Deploy multiple apps, databases, and services. No usage fees, just one flat price.

Coolify managed hosting, done right
MapleDeploy runs on Coolify, an open-source deployment platform with over 50,000 GitHub stars.
The entire deployment stack is auditable. No proprietary black boxes, no mystery infrastructure. You can read every line of code that handles your deployments, trace how builds work, and understand exactly what runs on your server. That transparency is not incidental. It is the point.
MapleDeploy handles server provisioning, security hardening, and ongoing server maintenance so you can focus on your product. You deploy your apps, configure domains, and manage databases through the Coolify dashboard. We handle everything underneath.
FAQ
How is this different from Heroku, Railway, Render, Vercel?
Jurisdiction, pricing, and architecture. Those platforms are US companies on US infrastructure, subject to the CLOUD Act. They charge per-project or per-resource on shared infrastructure. MapleDeploy gives you a dedicated VM with dedicated RAM, no overcommit, no noisy neighbors. Deploy multiple apps, databases, and services on one server for a flat monthly price. No per-project fees, no egress billing. One PaaS, one price.
What does "Canadian jurisdiction" actually mean?
Your application data, databases, and server configurations are stored in Canada, governed by Canadian law. Outside the reach of the US CLOUD Act, with infrastructure designed for PIPEDA compliance. Canada also has GDPR adequacy status. Payment processing is handled by Stripe, a US company, and we offer Interac e-Transfer as a fully Canadian alternative.
Is this a managed service? Will you set things up for me?
MapleDeploy is self-service. You deploy your apps, configure domains, and manage databases through the Coolify dashboard. We manage the underlying server, security updates, and backups. If you need someone to handle deployment and infrastructure setup for you, a DevOps consultant or managed services agency would be a better fit. MapleDeploy would be the platform they deploy onto.
What about CDN / edge deployments?
MapleDeploy runs your app on a dedicated VM in Toronto. For Canadian audiences served from Canadian infrastructure, that's fast and it's also the whole point. If you want edge caching for static assets or a global audience, Bunny.net or Cloudflare sit nicely in front and your origin and data stay in Canada.
You're running Coolify underneath?
Yes. AWS hosts Valkey, DigitalOcean hosts MySQL, and we host Coolify. A brilliant open-source tool, managed for you.
Can you provide compliance documentation?
Yes. We publish our privacy policy, data residency attestation, and SLA, along with a status page. See all legal documents.
How do backups work?
Weekly full-server snapshots cover your OS, Coolify, containers, volumes, and databases, retained for 30 days after cancellation. That's disaster recovery. For granular recovery (like restoring a dropped table), use Coolify's built-in database backups to S3-compatible storage. Two layers that work together.
Who's behind this?
Ross Hill, a developer in Toronto. I built MapleDeploy because I wanted a Canadian deployment platform and it didn't exist. I use it myself every day.
