Cost & Evaluation
What ongoing operational costs should I account for when self-hosting a durable execution engine?
Self-hosting a durable execution engine incurs costs for version upgrades, security patches, cluster scaling, and 24/7 on-call support for stateful components. The mechanism involves maintaining a distributed state store and handling failures like network partitions. Unlike stateless services, durable engines require careful capacity planning for growing event logs. Boundary: these burdens are lower if your team already runs high-availability stateful infrastructure.
