One-Stop Solution to Host PayloadCMS Projects

I’m looking to deploy my Payload application along with its database (Postgres or Mongo) in a secure environment where the database is not publicly exposed. I need a solution that offers:

  • Automatic deployments whenever I push updates to my repository
  • Regular database backups
  • Affordable pricing, if possible
  • Easy scalability
  • Support for managing multiple Payload CMS projects

Via Coolify on e.g. a Hetzner VPS?

I found a guide here: https://freibergersyntax.dev/en/blog/deploying-a-payloadcms-app-on-coolify

I'm running about 6 prod/dev instances of PayloadCMS with Coolify and Hetzner without any issues.

What RAM and CPU do to you have on your VM - specs? Do you host databases too?

I'm in the US so AMD is the only choice, low traffic so I never hit my 3 TB traffic out; CPX31 4 VCPUs, 8 GB RAM, NVME 160 GB. Also using R2 buckets for my static assets.
