Depends on use-case for sure - I think there is room for both

Great stuff. Would be neat to have an adapter make the output stream match the ai-sdk format so it plugs in to existing UX (https://sdk.vercel.ai/docs/ai-sdk-ui/stream-protocol)

Great point thank you - will add a section on this to the landing page
Indiehost is even more of an abstraction (sign in with cloud provider and we do the rest) vs. Coolify Cloud still requires configuring your servers + resources + understanding of Coolify (e.g. proxies, redirects, ssh keys, backups, etc.)
Of course, the abstraction has its drawbacks (limited control) and I always recommend self-hosting. It's a template for the most common scenarios for new devs/app devs who may shy away from self-hosting for many reasons (takes too much time, not-reliable, fear of the unknown)

Ah thanks for pointing this out - was not familiar with that rule
