Coral features

What you can do with Coral, fully managed by Elestio.

Coral replaces a site's basic comment box with a purpose-built commenting system focused on moderation tools, comment display and conversation structure, aimed at publishers and communities that want better-behaved discussions. It was built and is maintained by Vox Media, originally to handle comments at scale across news sites. The stack bundles MongoDB and Redis alongside the main Node.js application for data storage and caching. It's licensed under Apache-2.0, and Vox Media also offers paid setup, migration and integration support for teams that want hands-on help. The image used in this deploy is pinned to an older major version (7), while the latest upstream release is considerably newer.
