Managed vs Self-Hosted
Open-source does not mean you should run it yourself. Learn the hidden costs of self-hosting Keycloak and why teams choose Phase Two to operate it reliably at scale.
Self-Hosting Costs More Than You Think
Various costs associated with running your own deployment include:
Infrastructure to deploy, operate, and scale clusters reliably.
Ongoing team effort to manage infrastructure and deployments.
DevOps work to configure clustering, backups, and resilience.
Engineering time to build, ship, and maintain custom images/CI.
Security services, hardening, and audits to protect Keycloak.
Processes for upgrades: Keycloak versions, themes, extensions.
Phase Two is a trusted partner when it comes to running Keycloak. What began as a Keycloak support business focused on keeping the largest Keycloak installations running is now a rock-solid hosting system for our customers.
