- Operational Setup
- The recommended self-hosted footprint is large and production requires secrets, TLS, backups, database care, and frequent upgrades rather than a single lightweight monitor.
- Where Your Data Lives
- Self-hosted telemetry is stored in ClickHouse, application state and configuration in PostgreSQL, and cache, queues, and sessions in Redis.
- The Catch / Trade-off
