03/22/2022, 10:17 AMHi again š Anyone know of anything online comparing the tradeoffs between hosting with Typesense Cloud vs. self hosting Typesense (on AWS for example)? I was planning to host on AWS but project complexity has driven a need to reduce scope and Iād like to have some solid figures, pros, and cons to present to my client for their consideration. Any info is appreciated!
