Self-hosting is a good choice when you have an infrastructure team with spare time to monitor and maintain your own instances. Cloud hosting costs money but saves your infrastructure team time. You need to calculate the total cost of cloud hosting your deployments against your employees' hours spent maintaining FusionAuth, and the potential cost of downtime if your local FusionAuth instance were to become misconfigured.
