About
We're building the platform we wish we had.
Dockfly exists because shipping a side project shouldn't take a weekend of yaml. We want every developer in Southeast Asia to be one git push away from a real, running app.
Story
Founded in 2026, in Jakarta.
Dockfly started as a weekend project in early 2026 — one engineer tired of explaining Kubernetes to developers who just wanted their app to run somewhere.
The first version ran on a single VPS, used Docker Compose, and had one page that listed services. Within weeks, friends and colleagues were asking for access.
Today, Dockfly runs across multiple regions and serves hundreds of developers shipping real production traffic. The mission stays the same: make the simplest path the right path.
Values
How we think about building.
Tools should not be a tax.
Most days, the friction between idea and ship comes from tooling — not the code. We're here to remove that tax.
Build like you ship.
We deploy Dockfly with Dockfly. The dogfooding makes everything better, faster, and a little weirder.
Local first, global ready.
Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Philippines. Frankfurt and US-East next. Latency matters.
Team
Small, opinionated, remote-first.
Started by one person in Jakarta, built with the community.
