Appliku Pricing, Features & Alternatives

Runtime Platform · PaaS

Appliku is a BYOS (Bring-Your-Own-Server) deployment service that allows users to connect cloud provider accounts or custom servers for application deployment. It uses Nginx and Docker for setup and configuration. Connected servers need a supported Ubuntu or Debian release with root or sudo SSH access; AWS, DigitalOcean, and Hetzner have direct integrations, while other compatible servers are attached manually. Zero-downtime deployment is limited to Appliku’s cluster deployment mode; ordinary server deployments stop the old application. Database backups require configured schedules, destinations, and credentials.

Best for

Small teams that want a Heroku-like deployment workflow while retaining ownership and provider choice for their Linux servers.

Watch out for

Appliku manages deployments but customers still pay for, own, size, secure, and troubleshoot the underlying servers and cloud accounts.
