01Considerations

With great control comes great responsibility.

Self-hosting gives you full control of your infrastructure and data. It also makes your team the operator. Before you deploy, be sure you want to own these four jobs.

01

Hosting and network access

Provide a secure host your team can reach.

02

Upgrades and security patches

Plan releases, migrations and dependency updates.

03

Backups and availability

Own recovery, monitoring and uptime.

04

GitHub integration

Create, configure and maintain your GitHub App.

Or let us handle the operation.

Cloud runs the hosting, upgrades, backups and GitHub App for you. Nothing else changes: your spec lives in your repo either way, and you can move to self-hosting whenever it makes sense.
