Documentation is a starting point, not proof of fit in your setup.
- Every current Cloud feature's self-host parity
A good fit when…
Product teams investigating funnels, user behavior, and sessions.
Before you choose
Self-hosting has operational and support limitations. Cloud capabilities must not be assumed for every deployment.
Managed hosting reduces infrastructure work; event setup and data quality are still your responsibility.
What you’ll need
Application instrumentation and an account, or a maintained self-hosted deployment.

Try one real task before switching
A generic checklist to run yourself. Use a small, reversible trial and non-sensitive sample data.
- Define one task and write down what a useful result would look like.
- Confirm the selected edition, total cost, setup owner, and required connections in the official documentation.
- Run the same task in your current setup and the candidate. Record missing steps, manual work, and errors.
- Check how you would export or remove your trial data and return to your current setup.
- Keep, test further, or stop. Do not migrate until your must-have requirements are confirmed.
Where your information goes
Events and session data go to the selected deployment. Review capture and retention settings.
