Sovereign Application Platforms
Deploy applications on Canadian infrastructure, with the platform and workload control planes operated by ZSoftly.
Overview
Application platforms give development teams a simpler path from repository to running service. When ZSoftly operates the platform on ZCP, the application control plane, workloads, databases, storage, networking, backups, and operations stay on Canadian infrastructure.
Dokploy is one supported open-source platform in this service. ZSoftly can operate a self-hosted Dokploy control plane on ZCP, rather than requiring an external managed control plane. Dokploy remains a separate third-party project.
What this service covers
- ZCP, private-cloud, or dedicated-infrastructure platform architecture
- Self-hosted Dokploy deployment, hardening, and configuration
- Git, Docker, Compose, Nixpacks, buildpack, and webhook integrations
- Identity, TLS, networking, backups, monitoring, and security controls
- Canadian data-residency and control-plane design
- Upgrade, rollback, incident, and operational runbooks
Delivery models
Choose where the platform runs and how much of the operating model ZSoftly owns after implementation.
Customer-hosted and self-managed
ZSoftly deploys and documents the platform in your environment, then hands over the runbooks and operating knowledge to your team.
ZCP-managed sovereign platform
ZSoftly operates a self-hosted application-platform control plane and your workloads on ZCP in Canada, with agreed maintenance, support, backup, and recovery responsibilities.
Platform selection and modernization
We assess whether Dokploy, managed Kubernetes, GitOps, or another application platform fits your workload and team model.
A sovereignty boundary you can explain
For the ZCP-managed model, the goal is not only to place containers in Canada. The platform control plane and the workloads are designed to run on ZCP too.
Canadian platform control plane
ZSoftly can operate a self-hosted Dokploy control plane on ZCP, so deployment management is not dependent on a separate hosted PaaS control plane.
Canadian application and data plane
Applications, databases, volumes, backups, network controls, and observability run on the ZCP environment selected for your workload.
One accountable operating team
ZSoftly scopes the security boundaries, identity, TLS, DNS, recovery, upgrades, and support responsibilities with your team.

Common questions
Is Dokploy a ZSoftly product?
No. Dokploy is a separate open-source project. ZSoftly provides infrastructure, implementation, hardening, integrations, and managed operations around it.
Is this the same as Dokploy Cloud?
No. Dokploy Cloud is Dokploy’s hosted control-plane service. In the ZCP-managed model, ZSoftly can operate a self-hosted Dokploy control plane on ZCP so the management layer and the customer workloads stay within the designed Canadian environment.
Do we have to use Dokploy?
No. Dokploy is one supported option. The right platform depends on your workloads, compliance requirements, deployment model, and internal operating capacity.
Where does this service fit?
This offering sits under DevOps and platform engineering. It supports sovereign ZCP, private-cloud, and dedicated-infrastructure application delivery without presenting the underlying open-source platform as a ZSoftly-built product.
