Cloud hosting is the killer feature. No one wants to be in the hosting business. There are enough other things for a company to worry about.
Managing servers, deployments, zero downtime upgrades, security patches, monitoring CVEs, auth, 2FA, lost passwords, DDoS attacks, database maintenance, sharding, migration, load balancing, caching, DNS, reliability, latency, uptime, load testing, a million different dashboards, 24x7 on call... Paying $10/mo to offload all of this is a steal.
As if all self-hosted software don't also have a cloud hosting option as a way of generating income.
Not true in my experience. A lot of companies make self-hosting a requirement since they're working with sensitive data that they want to keep on premises.
That is so not true. At least here in germany cloud for any reputable company is at least difficult. Even with compliances in place. Self hosted is the prefered option for every company I worked for.
Most markets are not Germany.
Self hosting is a must for many companies working with strict regulatory compliance and security requirements. This is not exclusive to Germany and something I’m dealing with daily in the US..
