Hi Community,

I am considering installing Appian in Self-Managed environments (AWS/Azure/GCP) instead of using Appian Cloud. I would like to know which features are not available in Self-Managed environments.

I have learned that AI capabilities, Process HQ, and Portals cannot be used in Self-Managed environments. However, are there any other features or functionalities that are also unavailable or restricted compared to Appian Cloud?

I would appreciate any insights or official references regarding the limitations of installing Appian on AWS, Azure, or other cloud providers.

Thank you in advance for your help!

1. You will not have automatic updates and patches which are available on Appian Cloud.

2. Also the High-availability and disaster recovery configurations are to be done manually.

May be others can add more points.

Autoscale is also missing currently.

I believe maintaining sso might be also complex. It should maintained by yourself .

In Appian Cloud, Appian provides a managed MariaDB database, but in Self-Managed, you must set up and manage your own database (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle).
