What's the tradeoff: self-hosting vs. self-managing software

  • No one has yet convinced me that “cloud development environments” can come close to meeting the experience of lots of local, fast compute resources.

    Add the expense of putting it in AWS where it seems like us-east-whatever suffers a major outage or problem more than once a year that results in almost-front-page news, and it really feels like a non-starter.

  • This only runs on AWS, so I guess "self-hosted" means "runs in your AWS account not ours". I don't understand the benefit.
