Cloud or self-hosted?

Manifest is an open source project that comes in 2 ways: cloud and self-hosted. We recommend the cloud version for newcomers and the self-hosted version for advanced users. The key difference is that the cloud version runs on our servers, making it easy to setup whereas the self-hosted version must be installed in your local machine of infrastructure.
