You have complete control over everything, but you also need to handle the plumbing, electricity, and maintenance yourself.
Everything works from day one. No setup, no maintenance, just move in and start living.
Do you want to manage servers, or do you want to monitor your app?
Uptime Kuma is excellent if you love self-hosting. But if you'd rather
ship features than manage infrastructure, Logdash has you covered.
Try the zero-ops approach.
