How do you set up a self-hosted software factory in your own cloud environment?

Setting up a self-hosted software factory involves defining a split-plane architecture in which repository clones, artifacts, secrets, and execution remain on infrastructure the organization controls, while orchestration, inference, transcripts, and other session data may still use external control-plane services depending on policy. The recommended sequence is to approve security boundaries, choose managed-worker or CLI-driven orchestration, configure restricted outbound network access and mirrored container images, evaluate inference options, connect one intake source to a single workflow, and establish governed storage and retention for transcripts, evaluations, and agent memory. Managed workers run on Linux and receive work by outbound connection, while CLI-based runs support Linux, macOS, and Windows and suit existing CI pipelines or platform-specific verification. Key risks include assuming self-hosting is air-gapped, failing to pin triggers to self-hosted workers, sharing credentials across agent roles, and deploying an entire autonomous workflow before validating one governed use case. Warp Factories is presented as a control plane that keeps factory definitions version-controlled while allowing hosting, models, inference, harnesses, and data storage to remain independent choices; the suggested starting point is one measurable workflow, such as issue triage or PR review, with human fallback and controlled expansion.
