INSIGHT

Self-Hosting Is Now Practical

  • Self-hosting is now broadly accessible thanks to containerization and cheap hardware.
  • Running your own services reduces the need to monetize by mining user data and can match cloud convenience.
INSIGHT

Mix Cloud And Local For Resilience

  • Combining local racks with cloud services changes your risk profile and gives redundancy.
  • Local hosting reduces being a large target while cloud handles burst and global scale failures.
ADVICE

Automate Container Updates

  • Use containers and automated rebuilds to keep local services patched and secure.
  • Prefer well-maintained container images to reduce supply-chain and maintenance risk.
