Actually, there are a few alternatives to consider. The first option is to deploy Microsoft's open-source CodePush server on Azure or another cloud provider and manage it yourself. However, this approach requires time, cost, and maintenance effort.

Another option is using a dedicated CodePush server, and there are several projects in this space. One of them is NextPush, which I’ve been working on. With NextPush, you can migrate your existing App Center CodePush data in just 2 minutes and continue using CodePush without major changes.

All you need to do is migrate from App Center to NextPush and update the CodePushServerUrl in your Android and iOS projects. Everything else stays the same—1:1 UI dashboard, 1:1 CLI usage. Plus, it's the most cost-effective platform available so far.
