All three of which will demand some sort of maintenance and will generate sales and warning emails over the course of the years. DIY Nightscout is unfortunately not set it and forget it and will require upgrades and even platform changes to follow software evolutions or policies of the companies used when you created your site.

-Free databases like the Atlas M0 Sandbox provided by [MongoDB](https://www.mongodb.com/) will hold a limited amount of data (512MB) and you may eventually need to delete old records (maybe every 3-4 years with standard Nightscout CGM usage). You can increase even further the database capacity to 2GB/5GB ($9/$25 USD/month) by paying for an M2/M5 Shared Cluster if you wish.

 ## Nightscout as a Service
+If you prefer to pay and just use Nightscout as a fully managed service and let
+somebody else worry about installation and maintenance then you may be
