Every card is a real integration. Postgres with migrations, Redis with sessions and cache, mail with a test mailbox, payments with their webhook route.
The desktop studio for AdonisJS
Pick your stack on cards, get an app that runs, and deploy it to your own server with one click. No git, no CLI, no platform bill.

1Create
A working app, not a starting point
Pick a starter kit, a UI kit, a database, auth, mail and queues on cards. Studio runs create-adonisjs, installs and configures every piece and leaves an app that runs.
A hand-off for the rest. STUDIO.md lists what Studio could not finish, file by file, so you or your coding agent pick up where it stopped.
## Agent tasks
Wire the Stripe webhook in start/routes.ts
Add the orders table in database/migrations
Send the receipt mail from app/listeners
## Needs the user
STRIPE_SECRET_KEY in .env
RESEND_API_KEY in .env
## Before production
Turn off the test mailbox
Templates. Save a lineup you like and create the next project from it in one click, or pick one from the community.
Your API keys, kept once. Environments keep them in the system keychain and fill in every new project.
Made for coding agents. Every project comes with STUDIO.md and a CLAUDE.md that tells an agent how to read it.
2Deploy
Your server, one click
Add a VPS with its IP address and the root password, once. Studio installs and secures Coolify on it; from then on every project deploys with the Deploy button.
Any Ubuntu or Debian VPS. Hetzner, DigitalOcean, Contabo, Vultr. Studio adds its own SSH key and forgets the password.

No git, no CLI. Studio snapshots your folder, uncommitted changes included, leaves .env and node_modules behind, and Coolify builds it on the server.
One server, many apps. Apps, databases, Redis and workers side by side on a VPS you already pay for.
Environments. Production, staging and previews, each with its own app and database, from your folder or a branch.
HTTPS on every domain. A free sslip.io address first, then your domains and subdomains with Let's Encrypt.
Every environment on one page. Online or not, what it deploys, and the latest deployments of all of them with their logs.
A new environment in one step. Pick the branch and a name. Studio copies production's setup with its own database and keys.
3Run
Full visibility, without the SSH
Metrics and logs stay on your own server for 60 days. Studio installs the collectors once per server, never per app, and reads them for you.
CPU and memory of every container. Any range from the last hour to 60 days, one crosshair across the charts, drag to zoom.
Logs you can search. AdonisJS's JSON logs as lines with their level and request id, live or from any day of the last 60.
node ace, on the server. Migrations, seeders, routes and your own commands in the live container.
The whole server, too. CPU, memory and disk of the VPS, with every app and database on it.
4Your own server
Your cloud, your bill.
- One VPS runs many apps: you pay your provider, not per app
- Open source underneath: Coolify, Docker, Traefik and Let's Encrypt
- Your code, databases, logs and metrics never leave your server
- Studio talks to it over SSH with its own key, no Studio server in between

Cloudflare in front, in one click
Continue with Cloudflare, and Studio creates the DNS records of your domains. DDoS protection, a CDN and edge caching, free on every Cloudflare plan.
Proxied once HTTPS works. Studio points the record at your server, waits for its certificate, then turns the Cloudflare proxy on.
Domains and the edge, in one place. Your sslip.io address, your own domains, redirects, and Cloudflare's switches.
6FAQ
Everything you need to know about Studio
Do I need to know Docker, git or Linux?
No. Studio snapshots your project folder and uploads it over SSH; Coolify builds a Docker image on the server. You never run a command, though everything stays in files you can read.
Which servers work?
Any VPS with Ubuntu or Debian that you reach with its IP address and the root password: Hetzner, DigitalOcean, Contabo, Vultr or anyone else. Studio adds its own SSH key and does not keep the password.
Where do my code and data live?
On your computer and on your server. Studio has no server of its own: databases, logs and metrics are kept on your VPS, and secrets on your computer are sealed with the system keychain.
What is Coolify, and do I have to learn it?
Coolify is an open source panel that builds and runs apps on your server. Studio installs it, secures it and drives it through its API, so you do not have to open it. It is still there if you want to.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes, domains and subdomains, with HTTPS from Let's Encrypt. Studio shows the DNS record to add, or creates it for you when the domain is on your Cloudflare account.
Which AdonisJS versions does it create?
AdonisJS 7, with the official starter kits: React and Vue with Inertia, Hypermedia with Edge, and the API kit. Existing projects can be added too.
Is Studio made by the AdonisJS team?
No. AdonisJS Studio is an independent project built on AdonisJS.
Ready to ship?
Studio is in early preview. The first public build for macOS, Windows and Linux is on its way.
