Why self-hosted deployment?

Self-hosted deployment means installing the software on the user’s own server instead of relying on a cloud service provider. This approach brings many benefits to users:

  1. Data Sovereignty: Users have complete control over their data, which is stored on local servers, ensuring that it cannot be accessed or misused by third parties.
  2. Security: Self-hosted deployment allows users to configure according to their own security policies, such as firewall settings and access controls, thus better protecting data security.
  3. Compliance: For industries with strict data privacy requirements (such as healthcare and finance), self-hosted deployment can meet compliance needs, avoiding risks associated with storing data on third-party platforms.
  4. Customization: Users can deeply customize the system based on their business needs without being constrained by cloud service provider limitations.
