Our Verdict
Self-hostable, so your cost stops scaling with usage the moment you put it on your own server — that is the entire argument for it. It expects you to be comfortable with environment variables, upgrades and the occasional broken node.
Not for
Anyone who does not want to own infrastructure. The managed cloud tier erases most of the cost advantage.
