This is great! I'm using Intercom, but I know it's going to get very expensive over the next few years, so I will keep an eye on this project.

I'm thinking about starting to run my own tools instead of relying on third-party software, e.g.

* GitLab.com (free, ~$80/mo for CI) => Self-hosted GitLab

* Sentry.io (free) => Self-hosted Sentry

* Slack ($24/mo) => Mattermost

* Google Analytics (free) => Matomo

The main reason would be for GDPR, HIPAA compliance, SOC-2, and PCI certification.

I also don't think I would save any money by running these on AWS. I would probably need a few m5.xlarge instances, and it would cost about $150/mo per instance. And then I have to monitor and upgrade all of the software, debug any problems, etc.

So right now I don't have any big incentives to go down this road, but that might change once I'm ready to look into HIPAA compliance.
