We started SelfHost because we were tired of two bad options: pay 5x markup for a managed database you don't control, or spend weeks wrestling with AWS to do it yourself.
There had to be a third way - a managed database that runs in your cloud, costs what the infrastructure actually costs, and doesn't require a DevOps team to operate.
So we built it. SelfHost gives you production-grade database management - provisioning, monitoring, backups, scaling, alerts - on top of your own AWS account. One price per database. No hidden fees. No vendor lock-in.

Starting price
What we believe
Built by engineers who've been there.
Transparent pricing
One price per database, all-inclusive. No "compute units", no per-request billing, no surprise at month-end. If you can read a number, you can understand our pricing.
Your cloud, your data
BYOC means your databases run in your AWS account. We manage them, but your data never leaves your infrastructure. No vendor lock-in. Walk away anytime.
AI-native from day one
76 MCP tools let you manage your entire infrastructure from Claude or Cursor. Not an afterthought - MCP was built alongside the platform from the start.

"Reduced our infrastructure setup time from weeks to minutes. What used to take a dedicated DevOps sprint is now a 3-minute setup."
"Freed up 15-20% of sprint capacity previously spent on database operations. Our team can focus on product, not infrastructure."
