Thanks! You're absolutely right. Managed hosting is actually on the roadmap. The plan is to offer on-demand containers (likely Azure Container Apps or Fly.io) where users can spin up an environment without provisioning their own server. For privacy-conscious users, even the managed option would use encrypted volumes with user-controlled keys - so we (CloudForge) couldn't access their code either. BYOS came first because that's what I personally needed, but managed is definitely coming for those who prefer the convenience. Would you prefer pay-per-hour or a monthly allocation (like "50 hours/month included")?

My policy as a CTO is to always prefer things which are capped, so I'd go with 50 hours/month.

  Yep, agreed — BYOS is great for folks who already have a box, but “managed” removes the biggest friction for trying it. Managed is on the roadmap. For that, I’m leaning toward on-demand containers (Azure Container Apps / Fly.io-style) with: - ephemeral compute (spin up, work, tear down) - encrypted workspace (ideally user-controlled keys) - optional bring-your-own repo/storage so CloudForge never needs plaintext access to your code Curious: would “managed” feel acceptable if it were BYOC (runs in your cloud account), vs CloudForge-managed infra? And what matters most: one-click setup, predictable monthly cap, or sessions surviving network switches/sleep?

    I've implemented Managed Server!
