SwiftWave is a self-hosted, open-source, lightweight Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solution for deploying and managing applications on any VPS, bare metal, or Raspberry Pi. It positions itself as an open-source alternative to Heroku, Netlify, and Render. It lets users deploy apps from Git repositories, Docker images, or local source code, and manages ingress, domains, SSL, persistent volumes, monitoring, and scaling.
