**Status:** Private preview. Join the early access list below.

## Features

- Cloudflare integration (under validation)

## Use Cases

Need strict controls or air-gapped deployment? See [Self-hosting](self_hosting.md).

## Managed vs Self-hosted

| Backups + metrics included | You run backups, monitoring, upgrades |
| Minimal ops | Complete infrastructure control |
