- INTPenis 4y agoThat's not SELF-hosting. Self-hosting, with emphasis on the self, to me is taking it into your own hands. Using the cloud can be very liberating these days, you can do it in a vendor agnostic way where you own all your domains, your data and can move freely between any cloud provider.
- nicoburns 4y agoThere's a sense in which using the cloud isn't SELF hosting either. Although I get what you mean.
- INTPenis 4y agoIt's even better than self-hosting on bare metal, because you can move from one vendor to another quicker using IaC. Also more expensive of course. To me self-hosting was always about freedom. The two arguments against self-hosting in the cloud are security and cost.
