Cloud or self-hosted

Same product. You choose where it runs.

Most teams start in the cloud. Some need the whole thing inside their own environment. Either way, it's the same product.

Which fits you?

Three questions.

Self-hosted makes sense only when all three are "yes". Otherwise the cloud is simpler and costs less.

1. Do you have an IT team that can run containers or Kubernetes?
2. Do you have a hard requirement to hold your own infrastructure or keys (an examiner, your board, IP control)?
3. Do you exchange files with 25 or fewer partner organizations?
Answer all three to see a recommendation.

Not a one-way door

Start in the cloud. Move it into your own environment when an examiner or your board asks you to.
