⚠️ Limitations to evaluate before choosing self-deployed runtime

While the architecture provides flexibility and control, there are a few limitations to be aware of:

Infrastructure cost and maintenance: You bear infrastructure costs for running the Application Runtime and perform regular maintenance activities.
Monitoring handled locally: You're responsible for monitoring the runtime environment and take action when the infrastructure goes down
Certain App functionalities unavailable: Features like Test Authentication, Preflight check, Insights module, sample data preview, and tag reverse sync aren't available in Self-Deployed Runtime.
