Helicone recently overhauled its self-hosting solution to simplify deployment by reducing the number of required containers from twelve to four, addressing feedback that the original setup was too complex. The revamped architecture, which involved moving away from Supabase to a more focused backend, now facilitates faster setup times and lower resource demands, making it more accessible for organizations that need to keep their large language model (LLM) data within their own infrastructure. This change allows Helicone to better serve security-conscious and privacy-focused teams, as well as regulated industries requiring strict data residency. The new setup supports scalability and performance, with options for enterprise-level needs through Helm charts. The company has committed to continuous improvement with regular updates, making it easier for users to maintain their self-hosted environments. This development ensures that Helicone provides comprehensive observability, governance, experimentation, and performance capabilities while maintaining data sovereignty.
