Totally possible, and some teams do. You need a state store, a evaluator job, a propagation layer to push state changes to every instance, a SDK, a dashboard, alerting, audit logging, RBAC, and a fallback strategy for when the coordination layer itself goes down.

It's not complex individually, but it takes time, and it's the ongoing maintenance that gets you. Openfuse is a bet that most teams would rather pay $99/mo than maintain that.

That said, a self-hosted option is on the near-term roadmap for teams that need it.

That’s good. The ”open” in the name kind of implies a ”self-hosting first” approach.

I know this sounds weird, but it is in fact self-hosting first :)

The reason why I only launched the cloud version of it is just so I could have a faster iteration pace in the back-end after having people actually using it reliably.

Now it is pretty solid and self hosting is the next thing to go out.

If you check the SDK code, it is ready for self hosting.
