Ways to run Hindsight

Hindsight runs three ways. All of them use the same memory engine: the same retain, recall and reflect, the same mental models and knowledge pages, and the same API and SDKs. You can start on one and move to another later.

	Self-hosted (open source)	Hindsight Cloud	Hindsight Enterprise
What it is	The open-source engine, run by you	Managed, self-serve, multi-tenant service	A single-tenant deployment, installed and run with Vectorize
Where it runs	Anywhere: your laptop, Docker, Kubernetes	Hindsight Cloud	Our cloud, your AWS, Google Cloud or Azure account, or your data center
Who runs it	You	Vectorize	Vectorize, or you with Vectorize's help on-premises
Memory store	PostgreSQL (or Oracle)	Managed by Vectorize	PostgreSQL, or Hindsight Memlake on object storage
Models	Bring your own LLM and embeddings	Included	Included, or your own (Bedrock, Vertex AI, Azure OpenAI)
Sign-in and access	API keys you configure	Console, teams and API keys	Plus SSO, enforced MFA and private networking
Pricing	Free (MIT license)	Pay as you go, from prepaid credits	Contract
Get started	Installation	Sign up	Book a call

How to choose

• Self-hosted if you want full control, want to try Hindsight locally, or already run Postgres and your own models. These docs cover it: start with Installation.
• Hindsight Cloud if you want memory for your agents in minutes, with nothing to deploy and the models included.
• Hindsight Enterprise if you need your own deployment: single-tenant isolation, a region or cloud account of your choice, private networking, SSO and compliance features, contracted support, or memory at a scale where Hindsight Memlake pays off.

Hindsight Cloud and Enterprise have their own documentation at docs.hindsight.vectorize.io.
