Design systems. Own the stack.
Self‑hosted, zero‑trust, enterprise‑grade AI infrastructure.
From production grade chatbot to a fully owned AI platform.
Deploy the entire stack on your own virtual‑machine cluster orchestrate every service with Coolify, lock it down with mutual‑TLS and Vault‑managed secrets and gain end‑to‑end observability with Grafana + Loki + Tempo. Code‑first developers can now run custom FastAPI/Node micro‑services side‑by‑side with no‑code nodes under a single, secure domain.
Who Is This For?
Fit in, claim full ownership of the AI stack and run a production‑ready platform that scales, complies and stays secure.
No-code Builders
Move beyond drag‑and‑drop. Deploy the same visual Flowise / n8n pipelines you love, but now on a self‑hosted, zero‑trust stack you control end‑to‑end.
Code-first Devs
Keep writing FastAPI or Node micro‑services while Coolify orchestrates everything. Add custom code side‑by‑side with no‑code nodes, all under a single, secure domain.
Full-stack & Ops
Provision, roll‑back and monitor every component yourself – Coolify, Vault, Grafana + Loki + Tempo, mutual‑TLS and automated secret rotation are all in one place.
Product Leaders & Founders
Gain confidence that the entire AI service lives in‑house, under your control, with enterprise‑grade SLAs, compliance reporting and cost‑predictable scaling.
Learning Path – Step‑by‑Step
1. Vision & Architecture Blueprint
- Define ownership goals – full‑stack self‑hosting, zero‑trust networking, enterprise observability and cost‑predictable scaling.
- Success metrics – uptime > 99.9 %, mean‑time‑to‑detect < 30 s, secret‑rotation ≤ 30 days, cost per month vs. cloud‑managed alternatives.
- Architecture diagram – VM cluster → Coolify → Docker containers (Flowise, Weaviate, n8n, FastAPI/Node, NocoDB, Grafana/Loki/Tempo) → external LLM APIs.
2. Tool Foundations
- Coolify – Orchestrates Docker containers, provides one‑click roll‑backs, secret vault, built‑in SSL and OIDC integration.
- Flowise – LLM orchestration, fallback logic, prompt‑guardrails.
- n8n – Visual workflow engine for chatbot & automation pipelines.
- Weaviate – Vector DB for RAG.
- NocoDB – Spreadsheet‑style relational DB for leads, dead‑letter queues, audit tables.
- Prometheus + Grafana – Enterprise observability stack – metrics, logs, traces.
- FastAPI/Node.js – Custom micro‑services (email, enrichment, rate‑limiting, etc.).
- Vault (HashiCorp) – Central secret store for API keys, TLS certs, DB passwords.

- Domain & SSL
6. Next Level Preview
Centralized policy enforcement for data residency, model usage quotas and ethical guardrails.
What You Gain
- Full ownership – All components run on your own VM cluster; no third‑party SaaS lock‑in.
- Zero‑trust security – Mutual TLS, Vault‑managed secrets, OIDC‑based access control and automated secret rotation.
- Enterprise observability – Self‑hosted Grafana + Loki + Tempo gives you metrics, logs and distributed tracing in one place.
- Scalable automation – n8n workflows, FastAPI/Node micro‑services and NocoDB tables all scale together under Coolify orchestration.
- Reliability & SLA‑ready – Circuit‑breaker, dead‑letter queues, automated roll‑backs and alert‑driven incident response.
- Extensibility – Swap any no‑code node for a custom container, add new services or plug in third‑party APIs without re‑architecting the stack.
