What is Coolify?

Coolify is in a sustained security-hardening run while the v4 beta inches forward.

Coolify is releasing roughly weekly beta builds dominated by security and reliability work: mass-assignment protection, query scoping, input validation, encrypted webhook secrets, accidental-prune protection. Each release also slips in small bug fixes and the occasional new service template. The same release is published across two feeds, so duplicates are common in the changelog.

What is WeWeb?

WeWeb bets on AI agents building the frontend, with MCP as the on-ramp

WeWeb is a visual web-app builder that pairs a drag-and-drop frontend with your own backend, most often Supabase. The recent run mixes steady editor and database-integration work with a clear pull toward AI-assisted building. Its pitch is increasingly 'build visually, with AI, or both' rather than one or the other.

2.5

Coolify is in a sustained security-hardening run while the v4 beta inches forward.

◆ Current state

Coolify is releasing roughly weekly beta builds dominated by security and reliability work: mass-assignment protection, query scoping, input validation, encrypted webhook secrets, accidental-prune protection. Each release also slips in small bug fixes and the occasional new service template. The same release is published across two feeds, so duplicates are common in the changelog.

◆ Where it's heading

The product is hardening for production self-hosted use rather than expanding feature surface. Several recent fixes — team-scoped queries, locked properties, encryption for secrets — are the kind of multi-tenant defenses that matter when self-hosted PaaS instances start hosting more than one team's workloads. The v4 beta is converging toward stable, but security debt is still being paid down before that happens.

◆ Prediction

Expect a v4 GA cut once the security backlog drains and the new-template flow stabilizes, plus an explicit audit/security advisory listing the hardening work. New service templates will continue to drip in opportunistically.

WeWeb bets on AI agents building the frontend, with MCP as the on-ramp

◆ Current state

WeWeb is a visual web-app builder that pairs a drag-and-drop frontend with your own backend, most often Supabase. The recent run mixes steady editor and database-integration work with a clear pull toward AI-assisted building. Its pitch is increasingly 'build visually, with AI, or both' rather than one or the other.

◆ Where it's heading

The center of gravity is shifting from manual visual editing toward AI as a first-class way to build. Multi-page AI generation, expanded AI element support, and now MCP all point at letting external AI tools operate directly inside a project. Around that, WeWeb keeps tightening the Supabase data layer and the build-to-deploy loop so AI-generated apps are actually shippable.

◆ Prediction

Expect deeper MCP coverage and more AI actions that touch data and workflows, not just layout, with the next step being an agent that can wire up a Supabase-backed feature end to end.
