Cloud vs Self-Hosted
Choose between Durabull Cloud and open-source self-hosted deployment based on team constraints.
Decision Factors
Choose Durabull Cloud When
- You want the fastest time to value.
- You do not want to operate API/web infrastructure.
- You prefer managed availability and maintenance overhead offload.
Choose Self-Hosted When
- You require full infrastructure control.
- You need private-network-only operation.
- You want custom deployment topologies and security controls.
Self-Hosted Responsibilities
If self-hosting, plan for:
- deployment and upgrades
- secrets management
- network segmentation and edge protection
- monitoring and alerting
- backup and restore strategy (Postgres + Redis as needed)
Hybrid Pattern
Some teams start in cloud for onboarding speed and move to self-hosted when governance requirements increase.
Migration Readiness Checklist
- mode and env var parity documented
- connection source strategy decided (env vs DB)
- auth mode aligned to security model
- production backup and rollback plan validated
