trigger-dev-self-hosted-maintenance-conflicts-zero-ops-goal

Self-hosting Trigger.dev requires maintaining its own webapp, supervisor process, ClickHouse analytics database, and worker fleet — not truly zero-maintenance. When zero-ops is a hard requirement, self-hosted Trigger.dev creates an ops burden comparable to running a small PaaS. Trigger.dev Cloud (managed SaaS) eliminates this entirely and should be preferred when maintenance elimination is the primary constraint.
