First of all thank you for sharing, really helps in understanding the alternatives.

Whhen we talk about potential savings, we often forget the fact that maintaining these self-hosted options cost the engineer's time which is definitely not cheap unless one is not well-versed with the technology. First, I would prefer to get my hands dirty and then jump into open-source ship.

Btw, sliplane is amazing and following your content 😊

Yeah, thats true! I hope I made that clear enough that the time tradeoff isn't taken too lightly. For me it makes a lot of sense (and it also makes me use sliplane more, which is great dog fooding)
