Self-hosted or Cloud

Both deployments use the same client concepts. The difference is who operates the server.

Responsibility	Self-hosted	Dopbase Cloud
Server process	You	Dopbase

Database operations	You	Managed
Master-key infrastructure	You	Managed
Backups and recovery	You	Managed
Updates and monitoring	You	Managed
CLI workflow	Same Dopbase client	Same Dopbase client
Project model	Projects, environments, secrets	Projects, environments, secrets

Choose self-hosting when

You need direct control over deployment, data location, networking, and key infrastructure, and you are prepared to own backup, recovery, monitoring, and updates.

Choose Cloud when

You prefer a managed server endpoint and do not want your team to operate secrets infrastructure.

Cloud capabilities, availability, regions, and service terms are not final. Revisit this page when the service is announced.
