The Canadian alternative toVercelRailway
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. For years, that felt like a non-issue. Not anymore.
So I built what I was looking for: the modern deployment experience, with no US routing. Your code and your data, on Canadian soil.
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. Deploy multiple apps and databases on one server. No per-project fees, no noisy neighbors, no overcommitted resources.
Canadian-first infrastructure
Your application data never leaves Canada. MapleDeploy runs on Canadian servers in Toronto data centers, with each customer getting their own dedicated VM. Canadian-owned and operated, built for PIPEDA compliance.
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.
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.
Automated backups 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.
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 excellent open-source deployment platform, hosted on Canadian cloud infrastructure with data centers in Toronto.
We're transparent about that. It's the point. You can read Coolify's source code. You can verify our Canadian data center locations. The whole stack is visible and verifiable. No proprietary black boxes, no mystery infrastructure.
MapleDeploy is a self-service platform. You deploy your apps, configure domains, and manage databases through the Coolify dashboard. We handle the server, security updates, and backups.
If you want to self-host Coolify yourself, you absolutely can. It's open source under the Apache 2.0 license. MapleDeploy is for developers who'd rather skip the server management and get Canadian jurisdiction by default.

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. Deploy multiple apps, databases, and services on one server for a flat monthly price. No per-project fees, no egress billing.
What does "Canadian jurisdiction" actually mean?
Your application data, databases, and server configurations are stored in Canada, governed by Canadian law. Infrastructure designed for PIPEDA compliance, outside the reach of the US CLOUD Act. 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 Canadian VPS. For most projects, that's plenty fast. If you want a CDN for static assets, Bunny.net pairs beautifully. If you need multi-region edge deployment, you've likely outgrown single-region PaaS.
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.
Is the RAM shared or dedicated?
Dedicated. Every MapleDeploy server is its own VM with guaranteed resources. The RAM on your plan is entirely yours, with no overcommit and no noisy neighbors. If your plan says 8 GB, you get 8 GB.
Who's behind this?
Ross Hill, a developer in Toronto. Indie project, Canadian infrastructure. I use it myself and built it because I wanted a Canadian option that didn't exist.
