CapRover is an open-source Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) that automates application deployment using Docker and Nginx, allowing you to host multiple apps on your own servers without managing infrastructure manually. Developers use it to deploy Node.js, Python, PHP, and other applications to cloud providers like AWS, Azure, or DigitalOcean with the ease of Heroku but at lower cost and with more control. It handles containerization, reverse proxying, SSL certificates, and scaling across Docker Swarm clusters automatically.
