That can also be a nightmare.

Do you want git hosting, CI/CD, etc. to be among your core competencies? Because that's what this entails. You need a full team to staff it and be on call.

I guarantee you that those who self host will have just as many breakdowns. Five nines is hard, especially when it's not your main job.

It isn't that hard to have a build server and run a shell script on a timer.

Yeah, and don't forget to run the shell script in screen as well so you can detach it /s
