Why Self Host?
Keep Control Over Your Data
When you manage your own infrastructure, you decide exactly where and how data is stored. This is crucial if your organization needs strict compliance and privacy standards.
Save on Licensing Fees
Open-source platforms like Mastodon, Jitsi, PeerTube, and PixelFed often come with no license costs. You pay only for the AWS resources you use and our usage fee, which can lead to significant savings over time.
Customize for Your Needs
Self-hosting opens the door to deeper customization. You can tweak configurations, add features, and tailor the user experience to perfectly match your organization’s style and requirements.
Avoid Vendor Lock-In
By owning and managing your own deployment, you’re free to adjust, expand, or migrate your setup whenever needed. You’re not tied to any provider’s roadmap or pricing structures.
Seamless Integration with Your AWS Environment
Our patterns, whether for Mastodon, Jitsi, or others, fit neatly into your AWS architecture. They leverage services like EC2, S3, CloudWatch, and Aurora, giving you a familiar and scalable environment without the hassle of patchwork integrations.
