I don't think self-hosted versions of many of these tools exist. Are you suggesting you build them yourself? It'd take years and your time is worth far more than the money you'd save.

- znpy 7y agoYou’d be surprised how wrong you are. Most startups base their value proposition on the fact that by buying saas instead of software, you don’t have to pay a guy for infrastructure, maintenance and system administration. Which makes totally sense for large organisations but less sense for small ones where it could be easy to manage most services off a single box, provided that regular backups are made. Consider git alone: you can run a small gitlab instance for free. You can do ci/cd off a jenkins instance. Ticketing systems are one of the oldest things around. Some basics of system administration is all you need.
