Self-Hosted vs. Cloud: Which Automation Setup Do You Actually Need?
You want automation, not a lesson in server architecture. But with Factor Lab, you have to make a choice: Cloud or Self-Hosted?
Here is the cheat sheet.
Option A: Factor Lab Cloud (The "Easy Button")
This is for you if you don't have an IT team and you don't want to think about "uptime" or "Docker containers."
- Pros: You log in, it works. Factor Lab handles the security and updates.
- Cons: You pay a monthly fee (though still cheaper than the competition).
Option B: Self-Hosted (The "Control Freak")
This is for you if you want total control, maximum security, or you run massive volume.
- Pros: Unlimited executions. Total privacy. You own the infrastructure.
- Cons: You (or we) need to maintain the server.
Our Advice?
If you are just starting, go Cloud. If you are scaling hard or have strict security needs, let us build you a Self-Hosted fortress.
