They are stating self-hosting will continue to receive updates, however the writing appears to be on the wall that the exclusive cloud features will continue to accumulate to attempt to push more people that way.

I think that the example of discourse is really a very bad example, I just installed it and without being a professional, but rather an "average webmaster" and the ease was almost disconcerting thanks to the docker which already integrates all the configuration, it is just necessary to download in command line this one, to modify the file of configuration, to deploy it, to redirect the ports and all is made
The power of the server is also in my opinion a false excuse, here is the configuration of ours : 

We have several sites running in production: 
- A 15 year old Ipboard forum
- A 10 year old mediawiki.
- A handmade exchange site
- A dolibbar for accounting management.
- An interactive map 
- A new version of the interactive map in development 
- 2 Redis docker
- 2 Docker elastica 
- A KF2 game server
- Three docker (api, angular) for the management of the map 
And recently
- A Discourse docker
- A new mediawiki (with soon another docker redis & elastica).
Everything is running very well at 15% of max resource consumption.
So I don't think a new docker will bring down our server, but a $500 a month plan to get the latest ipb features will melt my wallet.

To be honest, @Jordan Invision has become the best new feature at Invision Community.



... but I'm excited for badges too!
