congrats on the launch! site and docs look great.

can you host this yourself or do you need to use helix-cloud? the chat thing on the side seems to push me to helix-cloud but it looks like that starts at like $600/mo which is above my experimentation budget.

looking for a db for an agent memory application and i'd probably start with something that's just self-hosted / freeish. postgres is working ok but I want to start ingesting server and chat logs.

You can definitely host it for free locally for now.

We aim to launch our GA cloud at the end of this month, which will be much more affordable.

Why do you say "for now"?

Lapse of communication. For now as in you’ll be able to host it without reading the source code.

Soon you’ll be able to host it yourself AND have access to the source code
