I posted something similar in r/devops, but I figured this crowd might be more relevant.

I’ve always loved self-hosting, I run most of my personal tools that way. But now that we’re trying to do it across a team, I’m wondering where the line is.

We’re pretty resource-constrained, but still want to move fast. The more we self-host, the more time we spend wiring up containers, m secrets, and bash scripts instead of building the actual freaking product.

I’m still figuring out if others are hitting this wall too.

How far have you pushed your self-hosted stack?

What made you stop, or decide to go hybrid/hosted?

Would love to hear other perspectives 😄
