No vendor lock-in. Since your project runs on your VM, your application simply continues to run. You can delete lowcloud and still have full access to your infrastructure.
Dokku and Coolify are fantastic tools, but they require manual configuration and ongoing maintenance by you or your team. lowcloud offers full automation of infrastructure provisioning, an intuitive interface (similar to Vercel), and saves you the effort of having to manage the infrastructure backend. *lowcloud is the simplicity of Vercel, combined with the control of your own provider – without the maintenance overhead of open-source tools.*
The core difference lies in data sovereignty and cost control: 1. Sovereignty: You deploy on your own sovereign infrastructure (GDPR-compliant), instead of handing your data over to third parties. 2. Costs: You only pay for your VM resources at the provider and avoid the exploding costs for expensive Pro plans, build minutes, and bandwidth surcharges from US providers.
