How is this different from the Coolify hosted cloud, apart from the fact that you are the co-founder of Coherence and not Coolify.
I've used neither solution, but just at a glance, right now I'd bet on Coolify -- it has more permissive license, it has active community of third party contributors and it amassed a large amount of private and corporate sponsors that likely make it sustainable.
On the other hand, you've raised $3.9m more that a year ago. What happens if the money runs out?
Maybe you can clarify what your solution offers that Coolify doesn't.
Appreciate the POV, and agree that Coolify has a much better community around it! A lot we can learn from. Not sure we agree on the license front since we do allow commercial use.
Coolify and cnc are very different technical solutions. Coolify is a server you deploy to a VM that then can schedule workloads onto that VM, managing features like ingress and updates. cnc is a client-side CLI that schedules workloads into managed cloud services like lambda, cloud run, ECS, or Kubernetes. It orchestrates public cloud provided services instead of providing them itself (e.g. RDS vs. MySQL in a docker container on a VM). The trade-offs here are too big for a comment and both are a great fit for different use cases.
