Should I use hosted MonkeyCode or self-host it?
Use the hosted service to evaluate the workflow quickly, and self-host when you need control over code location, model routes, isolation, and data retention.
Important context
Self-hosting adds infrastructure and operational responsibility and does not by itself make every data flow private. Match the choice to your security and capacity needs.
| Hosted | Fastest way to evaluate the workflow |
|---|---|
| Self-hosted | Control over code, model routes, and retention |
| Trade-off | Self-hosting adds operational responsibility |
| Privacy | Not automatic with self-hosting |
What to do next
Pilot the hosted workflow to judge fit, then decide whether control requirements justify operating the stack yourself.
