If I am using Livekit's URL, API creds and run the service on my local machine or server, is it considered self hosting or Livekit Cloud?

Thanks for reaching out, Vignesh. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
When you use LiveKit's URL and API credentials while running the service on your local machine or server, this is called self-hosting. Essentially, you’re taking the reins by deploying and managing the LiveKit server yourself. Your application then connects to your custom server URL (like 
<ws://localhost:7880>
or your own hosted domain). You can set the API key and secret manually or have them generated during deployment. On the other hand, LiveKit Cloud connects you to a globally distributed, managed network using the LiveKit Cloud URL (for example, 
<wss://your-project.livekit.cloud>
) along with credentials you get from the LiveKit Cloud dashboard. This option is fully managed by LiveKit and comes with great perks like automatic scalability, global low-latency connectivity, and integrated services. If you have any questions or need a hand with anything, please don’t hesitate to reach out—I’m here to help!

Understand. I am using the Build plan and I am able to spin up to 10+ sessions concurrently. Attaching screenshot from the dashboard.
Can you clarify how is that possible?

I don't have the answer you're looking for. You could also try asking your question: • in one of the other Slack channels or • to https://deepwiki.com/livekit/livekit_composite which is trained on all LiveKit source code If you find the answer, please post it here to help others!
