Self-hosting

There are several ways to use Jitsu:

  • Jitsu.Cloud - a hosted version of Jitsu. We manage the infrastructure, it's free for up to 100k events per month
  • Jitsu is 100% open-source and can be deployed to any on-premise infrastructure. You can find the instructions below.

A feature-complete Jitsu deployment requires a Kubernetes cluster: functions and profile builders run in dedicated function-server deployments managed by the Jitsu operator, and connector syncs run as Kubernetes CronJobs. See the Production Deployment guide for details.

The recommended way to run Jitsu locally is the development Helm chart shipped in the Jitsu repository — it deploys the full Kubernetes architecture (including the operator and function servers) to Minikube. See the Quick Start guide.

The legacy Docker Compose setup is deprecated in favor of the development Helm chart and will be removed in a future release — it cannot run functions, profile builders or connector syncs.
