Example: DevPanel — the entire dashboard (multi-env workflows, CI/CD, Kubernetes automation, cloud IDE, etc.) is free if you deploy it inside your AWS/Azure/DO account.

No per-user fees, no “team tier,” no SaaS billing.
You just run it like any other self-hosted tool.

Pros I see:

• No vendor lock-in
• No per-seat tax
• Your data stays in your cloud
• Costs are just your infra usage
• Easy to scale with your existing IAM/security

Cons?

• You manage the deployment
• No SaaS “push-button” convenience
• Some orgs prefer vendors to host everything

Would your team use a DevOps platform that’s free under a BYOC model?
