What Is Serverfy?
Serverfy is a cloud-agnostic server management platform designed to make it fast and simple for developer teams to provision, deploy, monitor, and operate production servers — without becoming infrastructure experts.
Whether you are running a Laravel SaaS on DigitalOcean, a Node.js API on AWS, or a PHP e-commerce on Hetzner, Serverfy gives your team a single, unified control plane for everything.
Why We Built Serverfy
Most server management tools were built for a different era. They assume you always provision the same cloud provider, always deploy the same stack, and that one developer owns all infrastructure decisions. Modern teams don't work that way.
We built Serverfy because we got tired of paying for 3 separate tools to do what should be one: provisioning (Forge), zero-downtime deploys (Envoyer), and monitoring (external services). Serverfy unifies all of that into a single platform with transparent pricing.
Core Features
1. Multi-Cloud Server Provisioning
Connect your cloud provider API key and provision a fully configured server in under 10 minutes. Serverfy supports:
- DigitalOcean — Droplets with automatic SSH key injection
- Amazon Web Services (AWS) — EC2 instances with VPC support
- Hetzner Cloud — Best price-to-performance ratio in Europe
- Vultr — Global bare-metal and cloud compute
- Linode (Akamai) — Reliable performance at competitive pricing
- UpCloud — High-performance European cloud infrastructure
Servers are provisioned with Nginx, PHP-FPM, MySQL/PostgreSQL, Redis, and security hardening out of the box. No Ansible playbooks, no manual SSH sessions.
2. Site & Application Management
Deploy your Laravel, PHP, or static application to any server in seconds. Serverfy manages Nginx virtualhost configuration, SSL certificate issuance (via Let's Encrypt), environment variables, and directory permissions automatically.
- GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket integration
- Zero-config SSL with automatic renewal
- Wildcard subdomain support per workspace
- Multiple sites per server
- Custom deployment scripts or built-in presets for Laravel
3. Deployment Pipelines
Stop relying on shell scripts for production deployments. Serverfy's deployment system gives you:
- Atomic deployments with zero downtime
- Multi-stage pipelines — build, test, migrate, deploy
- Automatic rollback on deployment failure
- Deployment history with per-run logs
- Slack and webhook notifications on deploy events
4. Database Management
Create and manage MySQL and PostgreSQL databases without touching the command line. Serverfy provides:
- One-click database creation with isolated credentials
- Scheduled backups to S3-compatible object storage
- Restore from backup directly in the dashboard
- Database user management with scoped permissions
5. File Manager
Browse, upload, edit, and delete files directly from the Serverfy dashboard. The built-in file manager supports syntax highlighting for common formats — no SFTP client required.
6. Real-Time Server Monitoring
Serverfy collects server metrics every minute and surfaces them in clean, historical charts:
- CPU usage, load average
- Memory and swap consumption
- Disk I/O and disk usage per volume
- Network throughput
- Configurable alert thresholds with email notifications
7. Status Pages
Every Serverfy workspace can publish a public status page — a professional page showing real-time status of your services:
- Custom domain support
- Incident creation and communication to subscribers
- Scheduled maintenance announcements
- Real-time updates via WebSockets
- Email subscriber management with notification preferences
8. Team Collaboration & Workspaces
Serverfy is built for teams from the ground up. Every resource lives inside a Workspace with fine-grained role-based permissions:
- Invite team members by email
- Owner, Admin, and Developer roles
- Per-workspace billing and resource isolation
- Activity logs for every action
9. Security Hardening
Every server provisioned by Serverfy is automatically secured with:
- UFW firewall with only required ports open
- Fail2ban for SSH brute-force protection
- Automatic security updates via unattended-upgrades
- SSH key-only authentication
