Is there really a market for a self hosted B2C SaaS options? Would it be enough of a differentiator to drive business away from competitors?

Is there really a market for a self hosted B2C SaaS options? Would it be enough of a differentiator to drive business away from competitors?
- reaperducer 7y agoYes. Especially in fields where privacy and/or security are required. (Think healthcare, corrections, and more)
- zelon88 7y agoI think so. I literally will not look at most services unless there is an on-prem option. To the extent where I will regularly design my own solution instead of deploying something Cloud based.
- thequailman 7y agoHow turn key do you expect the self hosted option to be? If it contains a lot of other software like SQL and Redis, would you be comfortable installing it or would you expect the option to bundle it in some kind of installer? Would you be OK with using a container, or would you want binaries?
- d0100 7y agoIn my dream world, all open source software would consist of a single binary and the only third party need would be a DB (preferentially Postgres or MySQL). Must be why I like Go so much
- SanchoPanda 7y agoI share your dream world. Sadly I never even come close to carrying out it out when I build a small thing for myself.
