Hosted Matrix experience vs self hosted (matrix.org)

Hi all. I'm currently looking into alternatives to our current Saas chat solution and was wondering if it is viable to self host Matrix, or should I just go with a hosted solution from one of the ones listed on the Matrix page.

What have your experiences been so far? What would your recommendations be?

Moving from purely my own rolled distribution to the recommended Ansible pathway has basically made running matrix with all the bells and whistles a no-op. https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/

This is what I run, too, and it's fantastic.

I also looked into this option and was wondering how it might collide with our existing Ansible playbooks, as Ansible itself is not declarative and some tasks might overwrite existing functionality.

Late to respond but it really depends on if there is overlap and they use containers and specific systems job names so I wouldn't expect it to collide at all. I use my own playbooks as well as this one without any problems so far and I'm multiple years in.
