How to choose
- Where does your data need to live? On a provider’s shared cloud, in your own cloud account, or on a server dedicated to you.
- How do you want to pay? Usage-based billing scales down to zero but can spike; flat plans are predictable.
- Who runs the platform? Managed services do it for you; self-hosted software makes it your job.
- What else do you need? Auth, file storage, background jobs and backups are often the deciding features.
