Render, Fly.io, Netlify, and Coolify

High-level deployment notes for alternative platforms hosting Simulacrum outputs.

Render

Use a Web Service with Node, set build npm install && npm run build, and start npm run start. Attach managed Postgres if needed.

Fly.io

Ship a Dockerfile and fly launch. Scale regions close to your database to reduce latency.

Netlify

Use the Next.js runtime adapter when targeting Netlify; verify edge compatibility for your database driver.

Coolify

Deploy via Docker compose templates; manage secrets in Coolify’s UI and wire reverse proxy TLS termination.

Always validate serverless vs long-lived worker needs before choosing a host; some adapters require persistent connections.
