How to start todayShould you switch?
Skip it if
You want a zero-ops hosted design stack rather than a platform your team may need to operate itself.

Watch out
Penpot treats infrastructure ownership as a feature, so self-hosting means your team must choose and operate Docker, Kubernetes, or another supported path.
