Self-Hosted PaaS With Analytics and Monitoring

Temps is the self-hosted PaaS with analytics and monitoring built in: one binary that handles git-push deployment, web analytics, session replay, error tracking and uptime monitoring, free to self-host under MIT / Apache 2.0. The other well-known self-hosted platforms are built around deployment. Coolify added opt-in, proxy-level traffic analytics in v4.4 (October 2026) but has no error tracking, session replay or uptime checks; Dokploy shows CPU, memory and network graphs; CapRover, Dokku and Kamal ship deployment only. With any of them you add the observability tools yourself, each as its own service. The SaaS equivalent — Plausible, Sentry Team and LogRocket — is about $211/month.

Most "self-hosted PaaS" lists answer half the question. They rank deployment tools and stop there. But deployment is the part you do once per release; observability is the part you look at every day: which page errored, what the user did before it, and whether the site is up. For the wider ranking of deployment tools, see the 7 best self-hosted deployment platforms.

Is There a Self-Hosted PaaS With Built-In Analytics and Monitoring?

Yes. Temps bundles deployment and observability in one platform, which none of the older self-hosted tools set out to do. Three things you can check in the source rather than take on trust:

1. It's one binary, not four containers wired together. Deploys, first-party analytics, Sentry-compatible error tracking, rrweb session replay and uptime checks run from the same Rust process — verify by reading github.com/gotempsh/temps. bunx @temps-sdk/cli deploy ships the app itself; analytics and session replay come from adding @temps-sdk/react-analytics and its TempsAnalyticsProvider to your own code, and error tracking from pointing your Sentry SDK at the Temps DSN — one-line integrations, not separate services with their own databases.
2. The signals share a timeline. The Observe page merges requests, traces, errors and revenue events into one time-ordered stream, and error events link to their traces by trace_id (request and revenue rows are not linked to traces yet), so the slow trace and the error that followed it are on the same screen.
3. It's newer, which is why it has this. Dokku (2013), CapRover (2017) and Kamal (built for 37signals' own servers) predate the idea that a deploy tool should also own observability. Coolify and Dokploy are newer but scoped to deployment by design. Temps was built after Sentry, FullStory and Plausible existed as separate SaaS categories, so bundling them was the starting design.

The distinction is structural. Coolify, Dokploy, CapRover, Dokku and Kamal build images, route traffic and manage SSL. Temps also owns what happens after the request lands: an error links to the session recording, and an uptime alert sits next to the traces from the same minutes.

Why "Deployment Only" Means Adding More Services

Ship an app on Coolify and you still add error tracking (GlitchTip or Bugsink), session replay (OpenReplay), uptime monitoring and, for anything beyond proxy-level traffic counts, product analytics (Plausible or Umami). Coolify offers these as one-click services, but each still runs as its own container stack with its own database, upgrades and dashboard (Coolify services overview). Self-hosted Plausible needs PostgreSQL plus ClickHouse; GlitchTip needs PostgreSQL plus Redis; OpenReplay needs PostgreSQL plus object storage. Each is another thing to patch, back up and debug.

How Much Does a Self-Hosted PaaS With Built-In Analytics and Monitoring Cost in 2026?

Temps is free to self-host; you pay for the server it runs on. Premium ($399 per organisation per month) adds Enterprise Edition features such as SAML SSO and audit-log streaming, and Temps Cloud, a hosted control plane for your own servers, is coming soon from $29/month.

The SaaS observability stack it replaces, at list prices:

Prices verified on October 10, 2026 on each vendor's pricing page.

An uptime monitor (UptimeRobot Solo is about $10/month) comes on top of that. Server cost is separate and similar for any self-hosted option: a Hetzner CX23 (2 shared vCPU, 4 GB RAM) is €5.49/month excluding VAT, checked October 2026.

The self-hosted alternative to the SaaS stack isn't free either. PostHog self-hosted needs ClickHouse, and Plausible and OpenReplay each bring their own databases, so running them beside Coolify adds several more stateful services to the box, compared with Temps' one process plus its TimescaleDB container.

1. Temps — Self-Hosted PaaS With Built-In Observability

Temps is the pick when you want deployment and monitoring to share one binary, one database and one timeline. It replaces seven SaaS tools: Vercel (git-push deployments), PostHog (web analytics and session replay), Sentry (error tracking), Pingdom (uptime monitoring), Datadog (OpenTelemetry traces, metrics and logs), Resend (transactional email) and E2B (AI agent sandboxes).

What's Bundled

The Observe Timeline

Bundling four tools is useful; putting their data side by side is the part separate tools can't do. Temps' Observe page (in the v0.1.0 beta line) merges requests, traces, errors and revenue events into one time-ordered stream; error events link to their traces by trace_id (request and revenue rows are not linked to traces yet). A slow-then-failing endpoint reads as one story instead of four browser tabs. The unified observability timeline post walks through it.

Multi-node clusters join worker nodes with temps join over a private network you provide, such as a VPC, a VPN or Tailscale.

# Deploy the app; analytics and errors come from the SDK and DSN in your code
bunx @temps-sdk/cli deploy

The day-two benefit is less about the deploy and more about opening one page after an alert fires and seeing the session that errored with the trace attached, without switching between four logins.

Best For

Indie hackers and startups that can't justify $200+/mo in observability SaaS, and teams that want a Vercel-style workflow on their own servers. Temps is newer than Dokku or Coolify and has a smaller community, which is also why it was designed around the bundled observability the older tools were never built for.

Does Coolify or Dokploy Include Analytics and Monitoring?

Partly. Coolify added opt-in traffic analytics in v4.4 (October 2026), and Dokploy has resource monitoring, but neither includes error tracking, session replay or external uptime checks.

Coolify

Coolify is strong at what it does: Apache-2.0, free to self-host, about 62,700 GitHub stars (October 2026) and 280+ one-click templates. v4.0.0 went stable on April 27, 2026. Since v4.4.x (October 2026) it can collect per-server, proxy-level traffic analytics from Traefik or Caddy, off by default. That covers request counts, not product analytics, error tracking, session replay or uptime checks, which you add as separate one-click services. See Temps vs Coolify for the full comparison.

Dokploy

Dokploy launched in April 2024 and focuses on developer experience: an AI Docker Compose generator, Traefik routing and live CPU, memory and network graphs. SSO/SAML is on its Enterprise plan. Web analytics, error tracking and session replay aren't included, and multi-node runs on Docker Swarm. See Temps vs Dokploy.

2. The Deployment-Only Field: CapRover, Dokku, and Kamal

CapRover, Dokku and Kamal are mature deployment tools with no built-in observability. Dokku (since 2013, ~32,100 stars, Heroku buildpack compatible) runs on one server or across several via its K3s scheduler. CapRover (since 2017, ~15,100 stars, 350+ one-click apps) adds a web UI. Kamal (by 37signals, the default deploy tool in Rails 8, 14,600+ stars) is CLI-only SSH deployment.

CapRover and Dokku

Both are reliable for steady workloads, and both leave analytics, error tracking, replay and uptime to you. Dokku gives you git push dokku main and little else by design; CapRover adds a web UI and a marketplace.

Kamal

Kamal is the purest deployment tool here: SSH-based, zero-downtime via kamal-proxy, no web UI, no managed databases, no observability. It's the tool 37signals built while cutting their AWS bill from $3.2M to under $1M/yr (The Register, 2025). If you want a dashboard or built-in monitoring, Kamal is the wrong layer.

The pattern: the older the tool, the more "deployment-only" is part of its identity, because these were built when observability meant a separate SaaS subscription. That expectation has moved, and Heroku moving to a sustaining engineering model in February 2026, with stability and security ahead of new features, pushed more teams to look at self-hosting.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best all-in-one self-hosted platform with deployment, analytics, and error tracking?

Temps. It bundles git-push deploys, first-party web analytics, a Sentry-compatible error-tracking DSN, rrweb session replay and uptime monitoring in one Rust binary, with requests, traces, errors and revenue on one Observe timeline. It's free to self-host under MIT / Apache 2.0. Coolify, Dokploy, CapRover, Dokku and Kamal focus on deployment, so you would add tools such as Plausible or Umami for analytics and GlitchTip or Bugsink for errors, each as its own service.

Do Coolify or Dokploy include analytics and monitoring?

Partly. Coolify v4.4 (October 2026) added opt-in, proxy-level traffic analytics, and Dokploy shows CPU, memory and network graphs. Neither includes error tracking, session replay or external uptime checks; you add those as separate services.

How much does a self-hosted PaaS with built-in analytics and monitoring cost?

Temps is free to self-host, so the cost is your server — for example a Hetzner CX23 at €5.49/month excluding VAT (checked October 2026). Premium is $399 per organisation per month. The SaaS stack it replaces — Plausible $9, Sentry Team $26 and LogRocket from $176 — is about $211/month.

Can one self-hosted tool replace Vercel, Sentry, PostHog and Pingdom?

Yes. Temps covers git-push deployment (Vercel), web analytics and session replay (PostHog), error tracking (Sentry) and uptime monitoring (Pingdom), and also OpenTelemetry traces, metrics and logs (Datadog), transactional email (Resend) and AI agent sandboxes (E2B) — seven tools in one binary. Dedicated products remain deeper in their own specialities; the gain is consolidation and correlation.

The Bottom Line

If you only need to ship containers, any tool on this list works: Coolify has the marketplace, Dokku the simplicity, Kamal the bare-metal focus. If you want deployment and observability to share a binary and a database, Temps is the one built that way. It replaces about $211/month of observability SaaS for the cost of the server you run it on.
