How to choose a platform for Self-hosted
Self-hosting gives your team direct control of the deployment and data, but your team also owns operations. Compare the full stack, maintenance work, and managed-cloud alternative.
Operating ownership
Assign upgrades, backups, monitoring, recovery, security patches, and scaling to a named team.
Total cost
Compare infrastructure and staff time with the vendor cloud price, feature differences, support, and usage limits.
