I love self hosting. I run a Docker hosting platform that empowers everybody to self-host. I think every developer should know how to deploy their own stuff.

But even I have limits.

There’s a point where self hosting crosses the line from "empowering" to "why are you doing this to yourself" Not everything needs to be run on your 5 dollar VPS. Some things are best left to the hyperscalers or literally anyone else but you.
