Cloud vs Self Hosting

CourseLit gives you two ways to run the platform:

• use the hosted version at CourseLit.app
• self-host the open-source stack on your own infrastructure

Choose CourseLit Cloud if

• you want the fastest path to launch
• you do not want to maintain servers, updates, backups, and uptime
• you want the CourseLit team to manage the infrastructure for you
• you prefer a predictable subscription over operating your own stack

Choose self-hosting if

• you want complete control over your data and infrastructure
• you need to run CourseLit behind a firewall or inside a private environment
• you want to customize deployment and operations around your own stack
• you are comfortable managing hosting, updates, and maintenance
