The trade-off

Managed vs Self-Hosted: When to Choose Each

Managed hosting (Opsily, Elestio) means no server work. Pay monthly. Get support. Backups are automatic. Good for teams without DevOps.

Self-hosted means you run it. Free. Full control. But you own infrastructure, updates, backups, and scaling. Good for enterprises that have the team to manage it.

EU data residency is only on Opsily and Sliplane. If GDPR matters to you, self-hosting means setting up your own Frankfurt servers.

If you have a DevOps engineer: self-hosted saves money long-term. If not: managed hosting frees your team to focus on signing workflows, not server patches.
